Atari ST A to Z: Beyond the Ice Palace

I never played this game back in the day, but it was one of those titles you saw all over the place in the early days of the ST.

Throughout the ST’s lifespan, it played host to a variety of different bundle packages, many of which were extremely generous in terms of the number of games and applications they included. Beyond the Ice Palace was a regular inclusion in such bundles, and as such became reasonably well-known.

Loosely inspired by action platformers such as Ghosts ‘n’ Goblins, Beyond the Ice Palace sees your green-booted, gender-ambiguous hero(ine?) battling their way through hordes of enemies and admiring how the ST’s lack of sound channels meant that a single sound effect could mess up an entire musical composition.

  1. I still have a bunch of my old Atari and intellevision games and systems!.. This one doesn’t look familiar, but along the lines of “Ghosts and Goblins” usually means a pretty good time! 💖💖

  2. I’d heard of the game (from many bundles like you said) but never seen it in action until now. I think I would have given up at the point of those three moving platforms. 😉
