Frostbite

The Arctic Adventures of Frostbite Bailey

Conceived and designed by Steve Cartwright.

For one or two players.

Far beyond the Northwest Territory, icebergs crack and the wind chill factor is minus 40. This is the land of Eskimos and igloos, of polar bears and frozen toes. This is the home of Frostbite Bailey.

Part survivor, part architect, part nuts. He eats raw fish for sustenance but really dines on danger. He's the guy with ice water running through his veins. A bona fide working class hero.

You see, Frostbite builds igloos for a living. Iceblock to iceblock, he jumps high and low, while danger follows every leap. Killer clams, Alaskan King Crab, snow geese and big bad bears.

Yet, Frostbite will not be deterred. From the frigid morn through the dead of night, heeding only the call of the wild, he works on and on.

Maybe it's the spirit of the Peary. Or, maybe his brain's gone numb. In any case, he's still there and he'd like you to join him. Frostbite Bailey - building igloos, and legends.

This Activision video game cartridge may also be used with the Sears Tele-Games Video Arcade.

It's 45 degrees and Frostbite B-b-bailey, arctic architect, is b-b-busy building an igloo b-b-before the temperature hits zero. Alone, he jumps on ice f-f-floes, collecting s-s-slabs of ice while evading Snow Geese, Alaskan K-k-king crabs and c-c-clever clams. Not to mention a polar grizzly bear! Can Frostbite finish his igloo or will he turn into b-b-blue ice?

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the Arctic.

THIS ICE IS NOT NICE.

It's slippery and moving fast. No place to play hop-scotch, but if Frostbite Bailey wants an igloo, he'd better hop to it. With every bounce, his ice-house grows. That is, if he doesn't fall in.

THE ZERO FACTOR.

Construction starts at a balmy 45° above - and dropping. Frostbite has to finish work and be inside before it hits zero, or he becomes a polar popsicle.

FOES IN THE FLOES.

Perils surround this Arctic architect. King crabs, killer clams and snow geese, all ready to help him take a dive. And lurking at the front door of his Klondike Condo - a ferocious grizzly polar bear.

WILL FROSTBITE BAILEY BE HOME FREE?

Probably not. It's like we told you. Life is no picnic at the North Pole. Come see if you're hot enough to handle Frostbite(TM).
