Not going to lie, this game is tough. I could see where it wouldn't appeal to someone looking to unwind and relax for a few hours playing adventure games. There are lots of ways to die, and as with most Jim Walls games, procedure is paramount. Read the manual! That said, I have always felt there is a lot to like about Iceman. It's just a different experience. The game was pretty groundbreaking for its time - submarine simulator, receiving and decoding encoded communications, following Navy protocol, political tensions over control of oil. The game is a product of its time and as long as you enjoy Sierra games (death) and go into it with that understanding, it's an interesting product that mashes several different types of gameplay together. No Sierra collector should be without it in their collections, especially at this price.
