Points awarded for being called a stupid lummock by this game when I fell down an eskimo hole.
Bear Island sees black, yes black, polar bears chasing you around their compact island and you'll need to 'go with the ice flow' until the pursuant bears fall into the holes.
Cursor keys to run away one lump of screen at a time.
Further plus points for a scoring system that seems to reward early death.
Still not enough for more than 1/5 though for this Quill predecessor from Gilsoft.

A fun little 16K game, completely written in Basic, but good enough to keep me entertained at least until I passed level 1. In the end there is a surprise from above, worth checking out for any 1982 kid who got this as a first game. Beware the last bear, he moves fast!

Not bad for 1982 but this is primitive and dull ... 1,5 / 5 .
