Episode Originally Released: November 6th, 2010 ------------------------------------------ The first CGA-only game to show up on ADG! :D This is actually a sequel to another game by the name of Pharaoh's Tomb with virtually identical gameplay, though there are a few differences which made me want to cover this game instead. Typically I try to cover original games first, then their sequels, but it doesn't always work out this way. :P ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * Here's a quick link for the game's page on the 3D Realms website where you can find the full version download: https://3drealms.com/catalog/arctic-adventure_41/ * The whole naming thing regarding Apogee and 3D Realms is actually more complex than I've let on and I didn't want to go into it in the episode itself. Apogee Software Ltd. came first, then they adopted the trade name 3D Realms in 1994 for handling all their 3D stuff, but since 3D seemed to be the way everything was going, in 1996 they decided to operate solely under the 3D Realms name, though even for well into the 2000s, the legal name of 3D Realms was still Apogee Software Ltd. This is made even more confusing because in 2008 they spun off a separate company called Apogee Software LLC, which was dedicated to reviving the Apogee brand, mostly in the form of portable games and direct pay downloads of older titles on download services like GOG. * For those who don't understand why "Nevada Smith" is a clever name, it's very similar to "Indiana Jones". Both have first names which are states of the USA and both have last names that are extremely common. ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: http://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: http://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html
