Ice themed levels on games suck. The control is poor, because you slip around everywhere.

Discuss.

Well Wonderboy (Arcade and Sega Master System) had slippery ice conditions.

You would run, try to stop, but just slide for a bit.

The FIA were planning a race in the dark but the idea is on hold at the moment.

What was the first game to have realistic (as in slipping etc) ice? Was it Mario 64?

To be honest, the only ice level I've done was on Spyro the Dragon. Quite easy really, although I did rush it.
