    Default Games with Snow, Ice or Winter Levels

    One thing I really liked about early console games is that they usually had an Ice / snow level. I was thinking which games had some of the coolest effects and came up with. Crude buster for the arcade, had a very cool snow level. Donkey kong country had a blizzard on a couple scenes, the ice level on blaster master was pretty cool. What games do you guys think had some nice snow / ice effects.

    The Goonies II on the NES. Crazy slippery ice level complete with falling stalactites.

    It's an easy choice but Sonic 3's Ice Cap zone. Not only did it have the high-speed intro on the snowboard, but I also loved the part where you can see the pieces of ice sheet line-scrolling by in the ocean background (at Robotnik).

    Duck Tales had a nice snow stage. I prefer the Gameboy version but the NES version is also good.

    Great list of games, keep um coming. There was a game that the snow actually accumulated while you were playing, not sure if it was Super ghouls and ghosts for the Snes.

    Will never forget the Icy Lake level in Mr. Bones for the Sega Saturn...easily the most frustrating level in the game.

    If you're going to bother playing NES World Cup soccer, it better be on the ice field.
