Aunt Arctic AdventureFor this month's "Maps of the Month" featurette, I wish to draw your attention to Grizzly's Aunt Arctic Adventure (Amiga) maps.
Charlie the chimp's aunt has been kidnapped, and forced to work as a circus performer in the arctic. In this game, you will guide Charlie, as well as his friend Penguin Pete, through 50 levels of platforming action in order to rescue her.
Past Maps Of The Month have been for the more popular systems. We've honoured maps from games of the NES, the Super NES, the various Game Boys, the Genesis, and the PC. But just because you haven't played - or even heard of - a game on an obscure platform doesn't mean its maps can't be worthy!
Grizzly, who seems to like taking on the more obscure games, sent in these Aunt Arctic Adventure maps as one of his first submissions a couple years ago, which opened up the Amiga section, which today is still entirely his. The 39th level of this game was also the 2000th map to be hosted on VGMaps.com.
The game isn't a simple platform game. There are some puzzlish elements, bizarre stage layouts, and many bananas to collect, but if the game is too challenging, the maps will spell out what the entire levels look like. These maps could save you from trouble - and this game from obscurity. As of today, the game isn't even listed on GameFAQs!
So to recognize the effort put into making these obscure yet worthy maps, Grizzly's Aunt Arctic Adventure maps will be known as VGMaps.com's Maps of the Month for December 2006.
