Codename ICEMAN help

[Rakeesh]

Sorry if this is not the proper place for this, but I found no suitable section for this game

Although I have played and finished the game a couple of times before (with a walkthrough of course!) this last time I am stuck

I am struggling with the second time I get to the control panel, that means right after I plot a course.

I have the order to turn to degrees 330 and I do so. Then I have a notification for sonar contact and I comply. Then I get a warning "Watch your heading". No matter what I do afterwards, I die.

I have found only two walkthroughs on the whole internet. One of them has no piloting hints. The other (which is found all over the net) had piloting hints; it says that when I get the warning I am supposed to turn heading to 0 degrees, but even then, it makes no difference; I still die.

I've never played the game myself, so I can't help you, and I don't know what walkthroughs you've checked, but is this one among them? If not, maybe it can help

Yea guys, these walkthroughs/hints are found in many pages. The hint page doesn't include guidance for the simulation sequences.

However I found out that the problem was because of a common misunderstanding, which is mistakenly reproduced in this walkthrough.

The walkthrough says:
# Activate sonar : press shift-F3.
# Set course to 330. When ask watch where you are heading, set course to 0.

The messages indeed say about a sonar and "330 degrees" however these are NOT commands, but reports. You are not supposed to comply to these. So what I did was turning to 330 which the game got as a wrong move and led me to death.

The solution is simple: don't do anything, maintain the same course to 0

The best walkthrough I know of is found at http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Codename:_ICEMAN

PS. Iceman has too few fans I guess

YPS. Iceman has too few fans I guess

Unfortunately, so. It is really one of Sierra's under dogs.

I've finished the game and if anybody needs any help with it, feel free to ask.

Hey everyone.

I'm having a load of trouble in Tunisia. Right after i get the map from the fisherman, I try to go directly to where the disguise is hidden. Every time I get caught by a guard on the screen with the two doorways. I have checked all the walkthrough/solutions but no help is given on this. I almost think there is a bug in the version im using on "Boxer" dos emulator.

Any help would be huge.
Thanks

Hi there. There is not a particular puzzle here. Just try to avoid him. If he is there, just wait until he leaves. Walk when he is absent.
