Codename: ICEMAN 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. 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.
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.
