Winter Camp

Developed by Softeyes Design in 1993 for the commodore amiga by Thalamus.


Due to a heroic effort to win back the flag for the opening ceremony of the camp, Maximus Maus was offered the job as a rescue ranger in the nice Winter Camp "Nice 'n' Icy". A job which he took with pleasure.

Instantly after his start at the job Max notices a big ball at the top of a hill and a big bird that flies towards this ball. Max does not take long to recognize the peril. If this bird collides with the ball, a catastrophic snowslide will be triggered. The popular camp is in danger, so Max quickly makes his way to remove the snow ball.

Due to this important mission, that Max has to accomplish, you will be assigned as his assistant. This means, that you of course have bring in physical effort, if required. So roll up your sleeves and start.


LEVEL 1
Before Max is allowed to start his first patrol, he has to prove that he can fulfil his job. For this he has to earn the title "Master at Ice Skating". But he will only receive it, if he wins all three races against different opponents.

LEVEL 2
The first rescue mission by Max as a ranger. His mission is to rescue everyone who is in trouble. The type and number of rescues is shown at the upper right display. In this level, Max also recognizes the peril from the bird, that nears the snow ball. This task needs to be fulfilled before the camp gets buried beneath a snowslide. On his way he finds different things which will help him to accomplish his mission. Among them also the red-cross-flag, which gives him extra time. At the start of the level hints are shown to him at the lower right rim of the screen about the correct use of the tools.

LEVEL 3
After his successful ice patrol, Max is sent to the river to continue his surveillance. But before he can get to the river, he is held up by a horde of playing bears, which do not know the important mission of Max.

LEVEL 4
Back to main buisness: rescues within a time limit. Again helpful items can be found. This time in baskets that float along.

LEVEL 5
When Max gets out of his canoe, he falls through the snow into a crevasse. It is important that Max stops his fall to get not too deep into the glacier because then he would be lost forever. After that he has to find a way out. Fortunately, he meets an old friend that attends to his business in the glacier. It can happen that he helps you if you ask him.

LEVEL 6
Several rescues need to be done. Items are buried under the snow and need to be digged out.
Two items are essential to completing this staage. Stop at the occupied cabin and collect the climbing equipment. Be sure to be holding it when the trumpet comes into sight. Press fire and wiggle to play the trumpet.

LEVEL 7
The most simple task in this game. There are no rescues to be made to prove yourself or things to collect that you need. It just matters that you reach the foot of the hill before the music is over.

LEVEL 8
The aim is in sight. A short climbing tour to the snowball and his mission is accomplished.
