Sparky, this is refreshingly brisk (and nippy) topic :)

Off the top of my head:
Ice Climber


The Thing -- a bit of it, anyway ;)


Ice Hockey (for all the Canucks here!)



... and then we have "classic" winter-themed stages in (nearly every 8-bit/16-bit game created):

Last Alert -- I still get the chills! Guy Kazama doesn't need a parka... or does he?

Contra -- The bastards have shields now... tougher to kill 'em.

Monster Lair -- Slip-n-slide to your death... until you get the hang of it. YOU GOTTA LOVE THE BOSS! ICEMAN!


Karnov I guess Karnov is more masculine than Guy Kazama could ever hope to be...


I could go on, and on, and on, and on...

Of course! I grabbed it from sega-16. Can you find a screenshot of the ICEMAN boss? I really wanted to post it because I love how his heart beats through a pane of frozen ice window. LOVE THE CHARACTER DESIGNS of all the bosses.

:)

Are there any decent winter sports games for the latest consoles? They all seem to get rubbish reviews, but I really want one.

The first thing that came to my mind when I read this post was the winter stage in Battletoads the arcade game.  They had one of these rare beauties on the boardwalk in NJ when I went on vacation as a teen...  and I pretty much spent a week beating the game daily.

I will also bobsled the shit out of anyone on this planet in Winter Games...  and if you don't believe me, let's go!  Any time, any place!

Boss from the Genesis port. You can find more shots on page 47 of the screenshot comparison thread.

Thanks. The Genny boss is lackluster compared to the arcade/pce versions. But I still love 'im anyway, of course.
