Your Cessna light aircraft crash lands near the Himalayas, and after managing to free yourself, you struggle across the frozen waste in search of help.

Your mission had been to meet a Professor of Archeology, who sought your opinion on evidence he had discovered of a lost Tibetan civilisation. Before long, in your efforts to help and shelter, you stumble across it.

This is the setting for a seasonal piece of rather contrived puzzles, set amidst ice and snow. As you walk about the paths in the town, an attempt to convey the atmosphere is made by apparently random messages like: "A kid throws a snowball at you," and "Some skiers walk by." But if you try any form of interaction with them, it falls flat.

Visiting the different shops, you notice items for sale which could prove very useful later on, but it is apparent that you have no money.

Being in possession of a rare egg, and bumping into a Professor of Ornithology, I felt it worth trying for some cash. Unfortunately, every way I tried to interest the Prof in the egg, showed him to be a very wooden figure indeed.

This is the second game in Incentive's Medallion series, and has plenty of nice snowy graphics, although many of them are very similar to each other.

Not a bad game overall, but I found it difficult to get on the same wavelength, and reached a personal maximum of 14 per cent.
