Codename: ICEMAN is a classic graphic adventure game developed and published by Sierra On-Line in 1989. Designed by Jim Walls, the game blends traditional point-and-click gameplay with realistic naval simulation elements. Players take on the role of Commander Johnny Westland, a naval officer assigned to covert intelligence missions during a tense geopolitical crisis. The story unfolds across multiple locations, including military bases, exotic ports, and a fully operational nuclear submarine.
Unlike many adventure games of its era, Codename: ICEMAN emphasizes realism, requiring players to follow authentic naval procedures and protocols. Submarine navigation, sonar tracking, and torpedo targeting are integral parts of the gameplay, adding depth and complexity. The game features detailed EGA/VGA graphics, immersive sound effects, and a gripping narrative filled with espionage and military strategy.
Players must solve puzzles, interact with characters, and make critical decisions that influence mission outcomes. Its blend of adventure storytelling and submarine simulation makes it stand out among Sierra’s catalog. Challenging yet rewarding, Codename: ICEMAN remains a cult favorite for fans of retro adventure games and military-themed interactive fiction.
