A short german Commodore 64 game about crashing in antarctic, June 12, 2022
Related reviews: 15-30 minutes

In this game, you crash-land near an abandoned arctic station and have to find your way to civilization.

I was worried at first, as playing a commodore 64 game in a foreign language seemed daunting. But the game actually has a great layout emphasizing important items and directions, and had many simple shortcuts to make the game easier.

There could be some improvements overall; the game is fairly short, not a lot is explained, and there's at least one typo I noticed. But I definitely appreciate the simplicity and it had a cute animal NPC.

Bring back the 80s, March 19, 2024
by IkeC

A rather short C64 text adventure set in an (almost) deserted polar station. The puzzles are pretty easy and there are no real surprises here. The parser is quite limited, but since it's hard to get stuck that's not really an issue.

I wish the game would have given (or told me) a shortcut so I didn't have to type 'Untersuche' so often, a brief info screen would have been useful.

Playing this on a C64 emulator along with this setting gave me nice 1980s retro vibes. Worth checking out!
