Steven Tench: "When it comes to obscure and neglected Nintendo series, which have been rarely revisited since the NES days, few are as notable as Ice Climber. It was released in 1985, some months before Super Mario Bros, acting as a launch title for the system in North America, and focused on vertical platforming as opposed to the horizontal platforming, which would later become synonymous with Nintendos first proper foray into the home console market. Designed primarily as a co-operative game, the objective is to reach the top of each stage by making precision jumps and carving openings into otherwise impassable layers of ice. At the end of each stage is a bonus section for players to traverse in order to receive additional points at the end of each level."
