Play Arctic (Japan) Online
You waddle around as a penguin hopping between ice floes, dodging seals that pop up like jerks—it’s janky in that old-NES way, but weirdly endearing.
Game Overview
Arctic (Japan) is one of those weird little NES games that somehow ended up in my collection years ago. You play as a penguin—because of course you do—navigating icy platforms while seals pop up to ruin your day. The controls are stiff in that classic early-NES way, but there's something oddly charming about hopping between floating ice chunks while dodging enemies.
It was originally released by an Australian company, which explains why it feels slightly off compared to typical Japanese or American NES titles. Not a masterpiece, but if you're into obscure retro platformers, it's a neat curiosity. Just don't expect Mario-level polish.
