Game Overview Title: Antarctic Adventure Genre: Platformer/Action Platform: MS-DOS, with later releases on other systems Developer: Konami Release Year: 1983 Story and Setting In Antarctic Adventure, you play as a penguin named Penta, who must travel across the Antarctic in search of his family. The journey is perilous, with the penguin encountering various environmental hazards, obstacles, and other challenges along the way. The game is set in a series of icy, snow-covered terrains filled with enemies and traps. Gameplay Objective: The primary goal of the game is to race across multiple stages of the Antarctic, dodging obstacles, collecting items, and trying to reach the end of each level safely. The player needs to gather as much fish as possible while avoiding dangers like seals and icebergs. The game is divided into several "stages" or "legs," with each stage representing a part of the penguin’s journey across the frozen land. Movement: Penta can move left and right and jump to avoid obstacles. The penguin can also slide and “ski” across certain parts of the level, which adds a unique and fun dynamic to the gameplay. Obstacles and Enemies: Throughout the game, you will face a variety of hazards, such as: Seals that chase the penguin across the ice. Icebergs and other impassable terrain that must be avoided. Rocks and other environmental obstacles that slow the penguin down. Power-ups: You can collect fish along the way, which are both points and essential to progressing. At certain points in the game, you may also find power-ups that boost your speed or protect you from enemies. Time Limit: Each level has a time limit, and you must race to complete it before time runs out. This adds an element of urgency to the gameplay. Graphics and Sound
