Atari A to Z (Pete Davison) — 3 Jul 2022
Beyond the Ice Palace is an early ST game with a touch of Ghosts and Goblins about it, and a game that was often included in system bundles. Its protagonist of indeterminate gender has extremely green boots and a penchant for dying repeatedly. Let's Play! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFI5OnZpwDg
