Ice Palace

Ice Palace is a video game in the action genre and published by Creative Sparks originally released in 1985. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

You are on a quest to retrieve your dead father's crown to help you destroy the evil Ice Queen and remove the eternal darkness from your land. You must navigate your Ice Palace to find the seven pieces of the crown across seven levels to succeed in your quest using objects to solve puzzles. The game is an arcade adventure and contains two screens, the Action Screen or the Adventure Screen.

The Action Screen is viewed from above showing a portion of the level on the screen. Each level is made up of hexagon shaped rooms with various objects inside that will either help or hinder you in your quest. There are six types of rooms and these are: empty, a lake that cannot be crossed, a sword that contains various items, a fire that replenishes your fire bar, ice that is difficult to cross and a black mill that cannot be entered. Each room has several entrances and can be rotated to line up the entrances. As you explore the palace, there are several waves of creatures that, when touched, move a gauge from good to evil and, when it reaches evil, it's game over. You can destroy these creatures with your fire bar and, once a wave is defeated, a spinning cylinder appears that, when touched, increases your gauge to good.

The adventure screen has text and allows you to interact with found objects and solve puzzles. You can also see how many crown pieces are found, your goodevil meter, the indicator of any nasties in the area and a candle showing how much time you have left.

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