I really liked the special rules and crowd mechanics. Very thematic, yet easy to use.

I really appreciate the commitment to make this in the NES book format. The flow of the module is really good!

Interesting use of Cold as a replacement for a torch timer.  And effective use of the NES Module size.  Unfortunately the size format really left me wanting more.

The crowd mechanic seems veeeeery fun for a boss fight. As someone who also got ice climber I'm glad the polar bear got some love here!

Oh no! The Montreal Tower is a Glacier now! Fun imagery.  I love the rousing the crowd and angering the crowd tables.

Three Strikes, Out! is a clever mechanic to bring that retro game feel into play. Same with Gold for Life. Love it when the mechanics enhance the theme.
