And like the reviewer below already stated (hey, I only just now got the game, but I thought the exact same thing when I saw it), this isn't really a "classic". Because of Smash Bros. Melee though, people started wondering about who the eskimos were. So Nintendo figured it'd get even more money from pretty much the only franchise other than Zelda that's keeping them alive, and put out re-releases of some older games. But they could've done a lot worse. Ice Climber, even today is a good game. It's not the best out there but it's fun, and that's all that matters with games. You play as one of the eskimos and hop around, climbing up the mountain while bashing seals and other animals over the head (screw you PETA members) with a hammer in order to get the sweet, precious vegetables at the top. It sounds easy, and it is...for the first 8 or so levels. Then you have to deal with obstacles like bumpers, platforms that move you in one direction if you stand still on them, and falling icicles. The game makes for a great challenge- try going through the whole thing starting at level 1 (you can pick which level you want to play at the title screen) without dying once. I doubt it's possible unless you put dozens of hours a week into this.
Oh, there's something funny that they mention in the instruction booklet. When you die and come back, you flash for a second to show that you're back. Well, it's just that- you flash. You're not invincible during that time, and if you die and come back on the spot where an enemy's at, you'll just die again. So you'll have to be quick with the jumps if you end up in a situation like that.
Again, if you have the E-Reader, pick this up for the freakishly low price. Though this version's cartridge resembles the NES cartridge (dispite the size difference) a little bit. It's all about the old days here. Go nuts getting those vegetables.
