TELEGAMES USA GLACIER PATROL INSTRUCTIONS (For 1 or 2 Players) Using a joystick, you must maneuver and fire to melt the parachuting ice blocks. Watch out for the giant snowballs, which will knock you down. For Your Atari* 2600 Game System * ATARI is a trademark of ATARI INC. THE GAME Night has fallen over the North Pole and you are on guard duty. A mysterious Aquafreze craft glows in the sky and you realize the beings directing the craft are not friendly, when they begin dropping what appear to be large ice blocks, which in reality are semi-intelligent invasion devices. These devices are attempting to build a protective wall to shield the invaders' advance. You perceive the danger to the Earth if the wall is completed. You quickly draw your heat ray pistol and begin Earth's final defense. As you desperately melt the invasion devices, you realize that as you try to run under the ice wall, your bio-chemical reactions are inhibited, which causes you to slow down. When you were sent to polar station Freedom, you thought a cold war was propaganda; how wrong you were. Can you hold out till the sun comes up? SCORING Destroying ice block before the parachute has opened 90 points Destroying ice block while parachute is opening 70 points Destroying ice block with parachute 50 points The dawn appears every 10,000 points which melts the ice wall. Bonus points are awarded for every ice block that is not in the wall at this time.
