Fire & Ice is a platform game initially released on the Amiga, but brought to the Sega Master System in 1995.

Gameplay

The game follows "Cool Coyote", who must travel across several levels constructing ice keys (whose pieces are found by defeating enemies). Once an ice key is completed, a door will open allowing him to progress. Enemies are defeated by freezing them with snowballs and then walking into them.

There are a few key changes from the original Amiga version to accommodate for the weaker hardware. Levels are shorter and are less detailed, there are fewer enemies on screen and Cool Coyote has been given green overalls, possibly to make him appear less like Sonic the Hedgehog.

History

The Master System version of the game was released exclusively in Brazil, but was based on a version due for release by Virgin Games in Europe in March[1], later May[2] then June 1994[3]. The European version of the game was cancelled, presumably due to slowing Master System sales, but the console was still very popular in Brazil at the time and so Tec Toy, Sega's Brazilian distributors, published it there.

Both European Master System and Game Gear versions were scheduled for release in February 1994[10], with the Game Gear version later being listed for May 1994.[11]
