Aunt Arctic Adventure

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aunt Arctic Adventure was released in 1988 by Mindware, as an Amiga game. It's a platform game in which the player must guide Charlie the chimp through the various levels to rescue his aunt, who was kidnapped and taken to the Arctic to work as a circus performer.

The game can played by one or two players. If two, the second player controls Penguin Pete. Actual gameplay involves picking up bananas and treasures to earn extra points while avoiding enemies such as Eskimos, spiders, and penguins, as well as traps like pitfalls, flying daggers and axes, and burning floors.

Aunt Arctic Adventure has 50 levels, which are played with mouse, joystick, or keyboard, as you choose. The levels include things such as invisible walls, ropes to swing on, hurdles to jump, etc. Completing the game requires logic and puzzle-solving skills as well as fast reflexes.

Unfortunately for its devoted fans, it is difficult to impossible to find, as it was never released for any platform but the Commodore Amiga, which was not popular.
