STATUS: In my feeble attempt to find my old posts praising Karnov (NES), I stumbled upon this thread which is 110% appropriate for me since:

(1) It is snowing in N.J. Big, fluffy solid flakes. Awesome. (Not awesome to shovel, but, damn, it is beautiful).

(2) I gotta drag the whole family to an XMAS party tonight when I'd rather be watching a claymation XMAS special with kids

(3) I was inspired to listen to an certain episode of PC ENGINE CITY.

(4) WTFFFFF. How is that episode 7 years old? Seriously. Time flies. I'm still working on things from my "to do" list that PRE-DATE that friggin' episode. Holy Lord.

YOUR MISSION: Enjoy life before another 7 years zip by and all you've done, concretely, is clip a few toenails in the shower.

I played the heck out of that on the C64 when I was in grammar school. IT WAS THE ONLY FUN GAME at school. I would have much preferred something else.

It is snowing here right now as we speak in Massachusetts. BAH!!! I might be one of the few people who feel this way, but I HATE SNOW!!! I HATE IT!!! GAH! We are expected to get at least a foot of snow here by the time it ends so I am not looking forward to that at all -_-.

Anyway, as far snow in games...I can say for certain at the very least, at or near the beginning of Tales of Destiny Directors Cut remake for PS2 there is a mountain area you must traverse that is covered in that white stuff(snow).

And I believe from when I played Tales of Eternia on PSP back in the day there was a level where it was constantly snowing. I could be wrong but I seem to remember this being true.

Finally, In Kingdom Hearts II for PS2 when you visit the world of "The land of Dragons" Mulan's world, you have to travel to a campsite on a mountain which has snow all over the ground, and as you travel up the mountain, it is covered with snow. In-fact, you eventually do something which causes a snow avalanche which causes the snow to come flying/crashing down and covering a lot of area.

That is all I can think of/remember regarding snow in games up to this point. I am sure there are more and I wish I could have thought of some OBEY/PC-FX games w/ snow but alas I cant think of any so if there are any the titles are eluding me at this point. Ah well!

no snow in rhode island right now, but it's certainly coming.  That calm, cold air is just permeating.

the one winter themed video game that always comes to mind is the hillside run in Strider.  one of gamings best moments of the 16-bit era.

You DO NOT prefer something else.  Winter Games (and the whole series of "Games" games) were amazing.  I would be hot dogging and bobsledding for hours BITD and I would be sad when sleep/school/eating/breathing would become needed.

For some reason this thread made me first think of the icy levels in Yo Noid, Matterhorn Screamer for Apple II, and Duck Tales Himalayas.

Penguin Land!


Karnov NES is a great game staring an underappreciated character.
