Although I never had the chance to play this fine looking game even though I did have an Atari 2600. According to the wikipedia for Frostbite. The game combines elements of Frogger and Q*bert in an arctic setting. The object of Frostbite is to help Frostbite Bailey build igloos by jumping on floating blocks of ice, while trying to avoid deadly clams, snow geese, Alaskan king crabs, polar bears, and the rapidly dropping temperature.
