Pharaoh's Tomb had a sequel? You bet it did! Though most gave it the cold shoulder, it's worth a look and is an enjoyable adventure of the arctic variety. Check it out in this review of Apogee's platformer: Arctic Adventure for MS-DOS Pharaoh's Tomb Review Part II The goal of these Lazy Game Reviews videos is to see how quick I can crank out a review after a day at work, with short reviews based on a game or theme of games (this one is a single game, Arctic Adventure for DOS

This game was great - and quite hard to play as a child. I remember there was a level which you could replay over and over, and leave the level with a surplus of pick axes allowing you to crack all the ice blocks in the map screen. All you had to do was play that level as many times as the amount of ice blocks you needed broken. I guess they didn't think about that bit. Also, I think that was a snowball rolling toward you, not a stone. It's a magic snowball, because it doesn't require a gradient

You should do a review of -Monuments of Mars- the third game with this sort of style, and it is just as evil as the rest of them, I had all 3 of them on a 1. 2MB pirated floppy as a kid and enjoyed them a lot, even though they are frustrating and almost sadistic in how often your character will get killed. Monuments of Mars was my favorite though, cool looking enemies and levels, and logic puzzles, one of the best CGA games in my opinion along with Mach 3 by Loriciels.

This game is much better than Pharaoh's Tomb. I mean not in terms of the hit detection obviously but in terms of the level design. I remember many hours spent dying on this one level because i couldn't make one jump and fell down a pit collecting many diamonds before I died. I actually went back and downloaded the freeware; it turns out you now get 4x the levels!

This game overall isn't as evil as its predecessor - ammo is considerably more plentiful, you don't have to be stingy. No more lives, so you can die as many times as you wish. but on the other hand, there are more gameplay mechanics, including ice, which can make for harder puzzles.

-SonataFanatica I'm aware of Monuments of Mars, but it's not in the Nevada Smith series by George Broussard. It's a game by Todd Replogle when he was with Scenario Software and it happens to use the same game engine as PT and AA, the FAST Engine. I do hope to review it at some point though.

You have no idea how happy I am. I was six playing this game at school. When it went away, all I could remember was the weapons and the layout and the purple blue background with artic in the name. I finally found this! I'm so drunken stoned and happy d(:

Love it how Clint is like -why do we say the name of the game I'm not doing that- YES! There are YT-ers I've unsubbed cos it's like they use the name of the thing they're reviewing to boost the word count and extend the video it's so annoying!

I like how in this classic intro there's a whole slew of controllers laid out for him to choose from but of those controllers, only 4 of those controllers' consoles have gotten game reviews

Great video! :) You do know by now that there's a third game in the Nevada Smith series called -Monuments Of Mars-, don't you? I'd love to see a review of that one, too! :)
