Snokie

The theme to this game is a familiar one. The hero is a character called Snokie, a cute looking pink penguin, who can jump pretty well but can't fly. Contact with water usually proves fatal.

Snokie's most immediate concern is that his girlfriend Cara has been abducted by the evil Grodies (boo hiss).

You have to guide Snokie through seven screens to reunite him with Cara. There are hazardous glaciers with deadly boulders to be negotiated, moving ice floes to be hopped across, and falling icicles which threaten to spear you at every move.

The graphics are imaginative and well done. When Snokie cops it, a skull appears in his place accompanied by a catchy little tune. On the whole, the game is very enjoyable and highly addictive.
