T-Pac | 7,534 Graphics Team · Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 11,940 I misjudged Frostbite as an overcomplicated Q*Bert clone, so I never played it much despite having a copy for quite some time now. It's actually pretty fun - I love collecting the fish, and seeing the igloo assemble is a great visual play-incentive that a lot of 2600 games lack. I'm still miles away from the 40k Activision patch score, but I'm happy just to break 10k for now haha. -CasualCart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume that was one of the Atari games that survived your purge then? If not you can borrow my copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be really good at this, but I don't have an Atari 2600 any more. I tried playing on my phone and that didn't work too well. I remember when you hit 100k, you get a "magic fish" icon at the top of the screen, which was a cool bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd offer to help with that but Snowboard Kids isn't one I own either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
