Icicle Joe - An Amiga remake of the 1985 C64 game Icicle works

With the festive season fast approaching it seemed just right for developer Peppe74 to release Icicle Joe—subtitled Icicle Works Returns!—a Commodore Amiga remake of the 1985 Commodore 64 classic Icicle Works. Designed to run on a stock Amiga 500 with 512K of RAM or an expanded Amiga 1000, the game puts players in the boots of Joe, a down-on-his-luck Santa impersonator complete with a cheap fake beard and a hip flask tucked in his pocket. Your mission is to guide Joe through treacherous ice caves, digging through snow and dodging falling ice blocks to gather scattered Christmas presents and reach the exit before the clock ticks down.

While the developer is hopeful it stays true to the arcade spirit of the original, this Amiga overhaul brings plenty of fresh upgrades and content to the table. Peppe74 has rebuilt the game with smooth scrolling, a 32-colour palette, three-channel music with sound effects, and a much larger 256×256 playfield flanked by a neat left-hand sidebar. Alongside all this, the 16 C64 caves have been reconstructed directly from the original game data, furthermore players will find 20 brand-new levels packed with extra bonuses, buddies, and two troublesome new foes in the form of the Yeti and the Penguin.

• NOTE on the music used in the game: Two free MOD files are credited to the authors in the game's credits section (press UP at the title screen) using all the info available on the download page. There is also a piece by Tchaikovsky as his music is in the public domain. However, if the authors of the two MODs would like to be credited under their real names, or if they want their tracks removed, please feel free to contact me!
