Everest: Icemans Apprentice

About this game

Everest: Icemans Apprentice is a mountaineering (mountain-climbing) simulator. It aims to approximate the experience of climbing a mountain, except without the physical toil and potential of falling to your doom. In the shareware version, you can climb one of two peaks (Rainier in Washington State, or Ama Dablam in Nepal). To progress, you choose which equipment your team should bring, where they should move to next, when they should set up camp, etc. I have absolutely no experience with mountaineering but this game doesnt make me want to start anytime soon. Although it features some high-res photos, the gameplay doesnt feel particularly engaging. Also, you dont even get to climb the games namesake mountain Everest unless youre able to track down a registered copy!
