A sequel to Treasure Mountain! that focuses on basic mathematical concepts. The game takes place in a magical realm called Treasure Mountain. As the game opens, the Master of Mischief, the common antagonist to the Super Seekers games, uses a weather machine to freeze the mountain in snow and ice and scatters the castle's treasures all over the mountain. The player takes on the role of the Super Seeker, whose job is to find the scattered treasures and return them to the castle's treasure chest in order to thaw out the mountain. The mountain itself consists of three levels. The player cannot climb higher until he has gathered the supplies, like ice axes, ladders, or catapult parts, useful for scaling the mountain. To obtain these items, the players must help out the local inhabitants complete math-related tasks such as adjusting clocks to a given time, balancing scales, and counting crystals. In order to find treasures, the player must place a specific amount of snowballs at a certain location. To find out how many snowballs are needed, the player must catch an elf carrying a scroll. If he answers the riddle correctly, he will be told how to find treasures on that particular level. Once the player reaches the top of the castle on the highest level of the mountain, he deposits all treasures found into the castle's treasure chest and is given a prize as a reward for completing the three stages. This prize is kept on display in the player's clubhouse, showing how many times he has ascended the mountain. These prizes are usually children's toys, such as flutes or toy trains. From this point, the player may exit the clubhouse and start again from the bottom of the mountain. At higher ranks, the game becomes more difficult, as there will be more treasures to find, harder riddles to answer, and snowbullies that steal money. Read less

Cozy And Surprisingly High-Quality. Edutainment Games Are Improving In 92!

Wow, very impressed by this. This series has some nostalgia for me, though it really was only the Treasure Galaxy one that I had access to, and this is my favorite of the early ones so far.

Wow, very impressed by this. This series has some nostalgia for me, though it really was only the Treasure Galaxy one that I had access to, and this is my favorite of the early ones so far. I like how the music changed as you went higher, and tho the math problems are obviously very low for me and felt redundant, the fast-paced gameplay, advanced save and other QoL features, and more efficient and enthralling concept led me to complete a round of the game (got to the top and moved up rank with my treasures). I don't think I'd ever grind to a super high rank but it deserves at least a 3 star if not 4 star based on the good Look, Sound, and responsive/state-of-the-art gameplay.

Look: 8/10

Sound: 8.5/10 Good tunes

Play: 8/10 Not that I'd see myself replaying this often, but a) if I had played this as a kid I would have loved it and b) I played a whole session of it soooo

Feel: 8.5/10 Nostalgia for this series, coupled with this being a highlight of the early DOS games giving the vibes of the era I love of Humongous Entertainment games and Treasure Galaxy

Attachment: 7.5/10 I doubt I will often return to edutainment games except to watch a playthrough video and hear the music etc, but the series and high quality of this help boost this attachment a bit.

Overall: 8.1/10
