Abandonware DOS title

Arctic Fox

Tank controls + polar bears + Cold War vibes = Arctic Fox. In this early vehicular combat sim, you're piloting a futuristic snow tank across an icy wasteland to stop some aliens or Russians or alien Russians. The plot is thin, the enemies sparse, and your tank controls like a drunk walrus on skis. But in 1987, this was high-tech stuff. There’s a weird, minimalist thrill to lining up that perfect shot and watching something explode in glorious 16-color fashion. If you’ve got a thing for snow and suffering, Arctic Fox delivers.

    Ahh one of my original favourites on the XT platform. Arctic Fox is trough to beat, but the game world is the same each time so you can get better as you learn to play. It is chock-full of strategic control that is not unlike mechwarrior. It can be a blast (pardon the pun) flying guided missiles, or roving on autopilot while dumping mines behind. But take care, resources are limited. Speed adjustment may be needed for your emulator (and your reflexes) as it runs fast under emulation.
