The PC version of Arcticfox features on-disk copy protection. Should the copy protection check fail, the title screen would load but any attempt to start the game or enter the enemy preview mode and the game will return right back to the title screen.Graphics
Arcticfox is one of the few PC titles that supports 16 colors exclusively in Tandy mode.Awards
