Fire 'n Ice is a puzzle game seen from a side-view perspective.
The goal in each level is to extinguish all flames by pushing or dropping blocks onto them.
The player takes control of Dana who can create or destroy ice blocks, climb blocks and push loose blocks.
Ice is created diagonally below Dana in the direction that he is facing, if there is already an ice block there, it will be destroyed.
However, ice blocks cannot be created on a spot that is already occupied by a flame, so that the player will often have to find a way to create ice blocks next to or above a flame so that they can be pushed or dropped onto it.
If an ice block is created next to another object or wall it will stick to it, meaning it can't be moved and won't fall down.
It is therefor also possible to create ice bridges to get over chasms.
When a loose ice block is pushed, it slides above the ground until it hits another object.
Rocks can also be used to extinguish flames, but they are indestructible and only move one space when pushed (unless they are on an icy surface).
Some levels contain pipes through which Dana can go, burning jars that melt ice or moving monsters instead of flames.
There are ten worlds plus five secret worlds that contain ten levels.
The first nine worlds can be played in any order.
The tenth level of a world usually features a special challenge like moving flames or monsters and lava that is slowly rising from the bottom.
The game also features an edit mode in which players can create their own levels.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Fire 'n Ice for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Fire 'n Ice to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1992.

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Fire 'n Ice, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
