Pirate Showcase #46: Ice Age (GBC)

One of the very early additions for Pirate ROM Hunt where I originally had no idea what to do in it until I found out that you can jump higher when you do a double-jump while carrying an enemy (that turns into a blue block with a face on it).

It's an okay game I have to say, although it looks nothing like the movie, especially when Sid was situated in the Arctic rather than an island with purple ground and palm trees.

I actually beat this a while back. The ending was glitched; it faded in to a picture of a poorly drawn Stitch (no idea why he's there as he wasn't in Ice Age :P) and then it suddenly went back to the title screen.

[CrashManEXE]

Have you got a video of it's ending though?

[cheetahmen92]

No, I didn't really see the point in recording it. Also, I'd have to play the whole game again to beat it. 14 levels long if I remember correctly, although I'm just going by the map screen. BTW, didn't Ice Age come out before Lilo and Stitch?

[CrashManEXE]

Yeah, Ice Age did release before Lilo and Stitch. And I think showing its ending would be worth doing, so that many people can laugh at the poorly-drawn Stitch :P

Maybe that's something SpaceNinja can do.

And I get stuck... in... the FIRST LEVEL!!! D:

(or is it Ice Age 2?)

[CrashManEXE]

There are small differences between the two versions of this game. This is "Ice Age 2" that you're seeing here. In "Ice Age 1", there's different music, hardly any sounds and you can't complete the first level, because the enemy at 2:47 isn't there for you to do a double-jump with.

And just in case you don't know to do it, grab the enemy, then jump twice.

Ever played any of the Klonoa platformers? There are your games.

[RABBIDGamfan]

@ 1:30: Apparently, Sid's Klonoa-fu doesn't work against the frog.

@SuperMegamario64 - I get all ROMs from Rombay, so go there (but it requires an account). I don't trust Romnation anyway.

[FullmetalJimmy]

also... Why are there guys with rifles in the ice age!?

[FullmetalJimmy]

Sid: Bitch, gimme that nut! *yoink*

Nutty: O:<

[SatoshiMatrix1]

Hm, at the least the graphics look unusually good for a pirate.

[AndCool1111]

Sid in the pirated gameboy game looks like a deformed beaver.

[theretrogamer14]

why does he air hump when jumping???

[tailsncream]

Musics are from the game Kandume Monsters if you are wondering

[Redhotsmasher]

Mediocre game, however you have to admit the gimmick of having to pick up an enemy and use it to do a double jump is probably more original and more clever than anything any the official Ice Age games came up with.

WHAT KIND OF PIECE OF !$#^ IS THIS. FIRST I SAW THE WHORL ICE AGE SERIES AND NOW This. At lease I Hope they don't put Rio From the creators of Ice Age on this. And also I apologizes to TheEsccapedBalloon on how It Iooked fun .
