No, look at the face, blue hat, and red feather. That is clearly King Graham from the King's Quest series. Also, note the Sierra logo in the upper left corner.

Love this thing. The concept, the execution, how the original had cars from the 40s and the sequel had cars from 20 years later. Only thing I dislike about it was the race, the one not on the aqueduct. The game did well on the drags and aqueduct races but that one was a bit pant. Still, much fun messing around with engine parts.

Maddening.

Speaking of Code Name: Iceman, I found a copy of the game in a thrift store and it had this drawn on the bottom of the box. Can't do that with a cartridge box for non-PC games.

I never got very far in this game. Last time I played it was when I was first grade. I vaguely remember a beach and getting killed by some guy in a bar for talking with his girlfriend or something. Probably in the first five minutes of the game.

I had a pirate copy of this game that came with a savedgame which was past all the copy-protection and fiddly bits. Which means it was pretty far into the game, really, and required a lot of guesswork about what the plot was... which was, to my childish mind, tense and exciting. Result being that I loved this game a lot more than most people I've heard who tried to play it properly.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 2 12:12:30 2014 No.1664292 >>1663903 It did take a while to get good, but once you got far it was much more rewarding. Especially back in the day when you weren't getting and guides or help and you just had to keep going at it.
