INTRODUCTION/GENERAL INFORMATION

     Codename Iceman is a challenging game written by Sierra On-
Line, author Jim Walls. In the game, you are the executive
officer on the U.S.S BLACKHAWK SUBMARINE - a top secret nuclear
submarine. Security is tight, and there is an international
crisis taking place. You are sent out in this submarine to try
and put an end to this crisis..... and who knows what you may
encounter?


TECHNICAL STATISTICS

     This game, like most other Sierra games will support all
graphics cards up to EGA, and requires at least 512k... a hefty
portion of memory. Sierra recommends you run the game at least 8
megahertz on an 8086/286/ or 386 computer. The game supports a
wide variety of music cards too. It comes with both 5 1/4 disks
as well as 3 1/2. 


REVIEW OF GAME

     After playing this game, you look back and feel a sense of
accomplishment... and you deserve it! This game is a challenge
and nothing but a challenge! You have to work very hard in this
game, and it is almost inevitable that you will get very far and
find out you forgot something... then "Hey! Where's that saved
game..... uh oh...." and you'll have to start from the beginning.
I would advise you to save your game very often, and give good
descriptions. This is not an easy game, and it takes a while to
solve, because of the massive amounts of trial and error used to
figure out things. Luck also plays an important role in this
game, especially when you are attacking the Russian Submarine in
the Bering Strait. Well, I have to say that this game isn't for
everyone. You have to be determined, quite experienced in these
games, and you have to have the time to play the game. Unless you
meet these characteristics... the game is not for you!
