If you like the game, respectively if you like to play "Voochko on Ice" without to break your fingerbones here's the link to it.
The 7zip contains all i've collected for "Duncan's Thin Ice":
Duncan's Thin Ice - original unreleased game containing "Voochko on Ice"
Thin Ice - later by INTV released game without "Voochko"
Voochko on Ice - my hack which exchanges "Duncan" and "Voochko", you start with "Voochko".
The manual to "Thin Ice"
The easter egg for "Duncan's Thin Ice" to reach "Voocko on Ice"
MAME versions of all three releases (split up into 8kb sections for internal use in MAME, plus the proper .xml to attach to the intv.xml in the dir "hash")
some box shots and icons

more even ;)
hacks of the original and hacked version, lethal (single life), arcade (3 lifes), trainer (255 lifes).
(no special MAME version of these hacks)

To play it you will need an Intellivision Emulator such as *jzIntv* or *MAME*, both (any) will need the proper exec and grom rom images, i'm not allowed to share them but it's quite easy to find them in the web. This game does not run with the in jzIntv included miniexec and minigrom.

Perhaps i can hack this? dunno i never tried this so far but i guess the main problem is in the way the title screen is displayed i you use a different routine as by Mattel Electronics intended the games will run as far as if there is not much used from the grom except for the alphabet and if even this could be hacked "soft" instead to be loaded from grom, means i can load a set of own carts (sprites) to the gram. An example for this is Activisions "Beam Rider" Activision had to use an own way to invoke the Inty because the code was not free (yet, later they had to make it free for developing). A couple Activision games can be played using miniexec and minigrom, i.e. "Beauty and the Beast" as well.

If you are interested in more "lethal, arcade, trainer":
