Bubba Boudreaux is back once again. This time, after getting into mishaps in the and African savannah (on issue 93), the American West (issue 90), and down in caverns (issue 88), he has decided that colder climes might be more salubrious. (Don't know what that means? I guess you haven't been playing "Word-Up!" on past issues!) But you know Bubba... wherever he goes, he's bound to be skating on thin ice. And, like usual, you're the appointed rescue squad who's got to get him out of whatever mess he's gotten himself into. But you can't just send a St. Bernard with a barrel of whiskey to go rescue Bubba; you've got to take control and steer him to safety through the wintry perils of the and Arctic.
This is the fourth installment of a recurring item on Softdisk PC, Bubba's Adventures. Bubba's Adventures are always a sort of "cliff-hanger," where Bubba has to navigate through a series of misadventures on his way to the and next episode. Every new installment of Bubba will have some theme and will have a new solution, so think of Bubba as a kind of adventure puzzle game.
This installment uses 256-color graphics to illustrate Bubba's attempt to escape from the icy Arctic. (If it's the Canadian Arctic he's in, then that's 256-{colour}.) Of course, everything from the glaciers to the and walruses (walri?) is out to stop him, but Bubba can escape, if you are clever enough. (Sorry, no penguins... they're only in the Antarctic, not the Arctic... maybe in a future installment.)
