You are on a quest to retrieve your dead Father's crown to help you destroy the evil Ice Queen and remove eternal darkness from your land. You must navigate around her Ice Palace to find the seven pieces of the crown over seven levels to succeed in your quest using objects to solve puzzles. The game is an arcade adventure and contains two screens, the Action Screen or the Adventure Screen. The Action Screen is viewed from above showing a part of the level on the screen. Each level is made up of Hexagon shaped rooms with various objects inside to help or hinder you in your quest. There are six types of rooms and these are empty, a lake which cannot be crossed, a sword which contains various items, a fire which replenishes your firestick, ice which is difficult to cross and a black moline which cannot be entered. Each room has has various entrances and each room can be rotated to align entrances. As you explore the Palace there are various waves of creatures which when touched moves a gauge from good to evil and when it reaches evil it is game over. You can destroy these creatures with your firestick and once a wave is defeated then a spinning cylinder appears and when touched increases your gauge to good. The adventure screen has text and allows you to interact with objects found and solve puzzles. You can also see how many pieces of the crown are found, your good/evil gauge, indicator of any nasties in the area and a candle showing how much time you have left. Less

Preliminary: Wow, truly a platformer action-adventure (with puzzle elements, to boot... I hope that part doesn't scare me off tho). With a set ending! And better yet, one of the few people who managed to get to the actual end made a guide video/longplay so I will be able to manage it too!

Oh! Bahaha wait no. There are 2 Commodore 64 Ice Palaces: one penguins jumping around (that fortunately seems to maybe have an ending too? time to do research more properly), and another that has a puzzle-esque hexagonal format for what is otherwise an action-adventure game that indeed has a set ending.

Welp, this was shaping up to be a review, but turns out this is an issue of 2 games merged into one in the database/GiantBomb. Time to do some cleaning up before we start movie/show time! (Finishing the latest His Dark Materials episode, then starting our next X-Men movie--Logan). 1985 on my backlog seems to be much shorter than 1984, thankfully, but it's quickly filling up past years and its own years from discovering more games and games I missed-argh!
