Cold Dreams

Cold Dreams is a video game in the action genre developed by Immortality Production and published by Immortality Production originally released in 1995. It is currently playable on DOS.

Travel to the red planet of Swandah to prove your worth as a galactic knight. Following the tradition of the tales of 'The Sword and the Planet', legends tell of a labyrinth of cursed subway caverns somewhere in the area, defended by ancient monstrosities and concealing great mysteries. No one has ever been known to have returned from the planet, so it is far from clear how these stories came about; be that as it may, it is clear that there is a Quest here that begs for a dashing hero.

The bowels of the red planet consists of three game worlds (the shareware version contains only the first), each divided into stages. Progress consists of advancing through the rooms in the correct order and finding the right set of keys, while dodging a generous assortment of tricks and traps. The strange cave dwellers won't help either. Fortunately, the player will have five different weapons to choose from, each particularly suited to a particular type of enemy or obstacle. Power-ups, such as life boosters, bombs and shields, can be stored and used at will.

A special type of power-up is the robot: a free-floating metal companion that can be programmed to follow the player, stand still or move independently by remote control. The robot can be equipped with its own ammunition and can access otherwise unreachable areas: it will need to be used judiciously to solve some of the puzzles. There is a special training level to practice using it (along with other aspects of the game mechanics).

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
