Sierra Saturday: Let's Play Codename: ICEMAN Episode 10 - If you want a job done right...
Codename: ICEMAN continues as commander John Westland finishes his codemongering duties and heads down to the lower levels of the Blackhawk to meddle in the work of his subordinates. It's routine inspection time! Commander Westland's first stop is the torpedo bay, where he meets Fatty Officer Jacob "Blowjob" Flanigan, who apparently can't be bothered to do his job as he pawns the task of fixing a faulty conveyor off on our all-too-accomodating commander. Then it's time to head to the drive shaft and inspect the diving vehicle he'll be using later on...

Codename: ICEMAN - What if James Bond was a by-the-book, straight laced career military man? That's Commander John Westland. ICEMAN tells the story of navy commander John Westland - an all-american soldier in the Cold War era, who is called out of shore leave on Tahiti to perform a rescue mission of an ambassador captured by a Russian-backed terrorist organization.
It was released by Sierra On-Line in 1989, designed by retired California Highway Patrol officer-come-video game designer Jim Walls, and is his lesser-known entry into the Sierra classic catalog, behind the much more well-known Police Quest series. The game is a technical advancement in Sierra games, released only shortly after King's Quest IV and utilizing the full power of the new SCI engine with advanced movement and a beautiful Roland MT-32 soundtrack by Sierra mainstay Mark Seibert. It made heavy use of "Arcade sequence" minigames where the player must navigate in a submarine, which was the source for a fair amount of criticism of the game's entertainment value. The player is expected to follow strict procedure out of a detailed manual, and frequently would be stuck in dead-end situations unless meticulously careful in their play.
The NPCs are playing Codename: ICEMAN on the GOG.com DOSbox version with Roland MT-32 soundtrack.
Sierra Saturday is a weekly series on the Level 0 NPCs channel, where Matt & Luke relive their childhoods playing classic adventure games of the '80s and '90s (and beyond?). Sierra adventure games were a special breed of dark humor, brutally unfair puzzles and unforgettable characters, and we hope you enjoy this walk down memory lane with us.
