Atari 2600's Frostbite from Activision: Break Out that Winter Coat!
435Frostbite is a 1983 action game designed by Steve Cartwright for the Atari 2600, and published by Activision in 1983. The game has a player control Frostbite Bailey, who must hop across several ice floes to collect ice while avoiding falling in the water and avoiding the hazardous natural elements such polar bears and snow geese.
Cartwright developed the game for Activision after making several other games for the company since 1982. It would be his last game he made for the Atari 2600. While critics had often compared the game to the arcade games Frogger and Q*bert, Cartwright said he based it only on Frogger and had not played Q*bert until completing the game.
Upon its release, some critics complimented the game's arcade-like action as being a novel twist on Frogger and Q*bert, while others lamented that the game seemed out-of-date with its simple gameplay and was not as visually appealing as other Activision titles. Retro Gamer would include the game in their list of the top 25 games for the Atari 2600 in 2008.
