Ice Climber is one of the earliest releases for the NES and is a fun and interesting climbing game. I've always enjoyed the early NES games for their simplicity. We're going with a mellow game during our site upgrade to keep things easy. Enjoy!

greenween Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I've never played this one. Hooking up the Wii right now. RickR 1 "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosweargamer Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 TIME TO BREAK THE ICE (Get it? Waka Waka!) I've been pretty busy lately, which is why I never got around to the previous challenge, but since I already got this on my 3DS (thanks to the Ambassador Program), I was able to give it a go. 34,250 I like the characters, but the game itself is not really my cup 'o joe. Still, I may give this another go later on.

RickR Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I've never played this one. Hooking up the Wii right now. Same here. The wii is great for NES emulation, isn't it? SNES too, but you need a gamecube controller for that. greenween 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenween Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) The only thing I use the wii for is emulation. I use this controller for everything. I do use a Gamecube controller when I want to emulate N64 games. Edited May 5, 2018 by greenween Kid A 1 "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime."

Kid A Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 The only thing I use the wii for is emulation. I use this controller for everything. You should pick up an SNES classic controller meant for the SNES mini. They work on a modded Wii also I believe. greenween 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starbuck66 Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I might submit a score for this... if my daughter forces me to play it. I HATE this game... the jumping mechanics and where/how the characters land drives me nuts! Its like they have boat anchors in their asses! For whatever reason though, my daughter loves this game! I think partly because she thinks its fun, but the other part is probably how frustrated I get whenever I play this game :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starbuck66 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Submitting my score before I forget, and it probably will be my final score for the contest. I tried putting together another run this past Sunday, and I ended up rage quitting. I understand this game a bit better now, but I still hate it! My daughter's HS is below; she is going to keep trying to improve :-) RickR and nosweargamer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
