This TAITO conversion is based on the 1986 TAITO coin-op. Released for the commodore Amiga in 1989.
The Streets aren't safe! . . . Night falls swiftly as you make your way through the most sinister part of town to collect your girl. So far so good . . . your train pulls into the subway station, alighting you realise you are not alone!
The station, and the streets above are infested with thugs and villains . . . time is short so you must negotiate these areas to meet your girl as arranged. Quick thinking and martial art skills are the only abilities you have to depend upon and you disembark knowing that this is going to be the most dangerous walk of your life!
There are five stages to negotiate, first the tube station, where you will meet a gang of muggers intent on terminating your journey right there. The next stage takes you through the pier area, known to be a popular meeting place for motorcycle gangs. The third area is the sleezy back streets of town; female gangs stalk the streets in search of any unwitting male who may try and infringe their territory. Next, is the street leading up to your meeting place; a vicious gang of razor-wielding thugs have been known to taunt any innocent passer by just for kicks.
Finally you enter your arranged meeting place, but beware—the last gang you have subdued had called reinforcements who will be lying in wait, together with their leaderarmed with a gun! Prove that love can overcome all by conquering these villains in time for your date!

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.

Made for the commodore amiga in 1989, by 4 Danish guys.
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.
