♦ Episode description: see below↓
This special Appendix to Codename Iceman compiles most, if not all the possible ways to die in the game. Admittedly, this is a fairly daunting task, since Codename Iceman arguably holds the absolute record in this respect among all Sierra On-Line games: the absolute majority of commands received in the game lead to a death screen unless executed rapidly and efficiently. Some of the most repetitive sequences (e.g. getting a slightly different death message depending on the exact time period of execution of exactly the same submarine command) have been omitted, but overall, this looks like a reasonably complete list to me, with no major misses.
Episode Content:
00:00 - Deaths on the Tahiti beach (drowning or letting the volleyball-playing girl drown).
02:45 - Deaths in the bar (getting drunk; flirting with the wrong girl).
04:15 - Deaths on the way to Pentagon (missing the plane; losing your Washington ride).
05:35 - Deaths in the Pentagon and on the way out (lost ID; misplaced orders).
06:40 - Deaths on the submarine's first run (incorrect execution of various orders).
12:10 - Deaths inside the cabin (failure to respond to Captain's orders).
13:55 - Cheating at the dice game (technically not a death, but a bad outcome).
