Up to four players can take part in the five snowy events, the first of which is Operation Snowball. You use the mouse to move a cursor around the screen the snowballs you fire from a shoulder gun. Your targets are eskimos building a giant catapult; let too many wood-carrying men pass by and they build a giant catapult that lands a giant snowball right on top of you.
A mobile frame is rolled back and forth along the edge of a cliff in Eggsterminator so that the rope which hangs from it dangles in front of birds’ nests. You have to shin up and down the rope to collect the eggs they lay but avoid contact with the birds themselves: they make you slip into the water, wasting valuable time.
In Ice 'n’ igloos you stand in front of an ice wall and waggle the joystick to hack out a piece of ice with your pick-axe. It then has to be carried over to the partly built igloo, avoiding holes in the ice and Robbi the seal.
There are some very weird tourists in the artic: they like visiting ice cream bars! Masochists! Anyway, you're serving at the bar and must slide their ice creams down the bar to them, collecting the empty dishes which they slide back. Smash too many dishes or fail to serve too many customers
and a polar bear hits you over the head.
Finally, there's Barbearian (groan!). You have to knock out a big bear with a big stick but be careful of where you step — the ring rapidly melts and a cold dip in the water means instant defeat.
