I know it all sounds and looks very familiar to most of you. If you have never played an early Sierra game it might take a little getting used to but surely everyone has played one of these games by now, right? The game keeps score as you progress so that the accomplishment is not just in finishing the game but in scoring as highly as possible. You type the commands for your character and then the game tells you that it doesn’t understand what you are saying. The game plays just like all the other Sierra games of it’s time (King’s Quest, Leisure Suit Larry etc). Beautiful women, danger, high tech gadgets Codename: ICEMAN has them all. Then you will go under cover James Bond style to locate the ambassador and bring him back to safety. You will navigate a submarine through hostile waters where stealth is mandatory to the success of the mission. Things will get serious in a hurry after that, however, as you are called to duty to rescue a kidnapped US Ambassador and to uncover the perpetrators and plot behind the kidnapping.

The beginning of the game will remind you of Leisure Suit Larry as you go beach combing and do your best to pick up babes at the local pub.

This game has a little bit of everything in it. The next time you feel like playing an adventure game that requires a decent amount of reasoning and even a little research give Codename: ICEMAN a try.
