Arctic Rush

The Arctic is one of the most inaccessible and mysterious places on Earth. And where there are mysteries, the tireless Dr. Scott appears. During the night, Dr. Scott's Arctic expedition is thrown into extreme danger. The ice shelf, where Dr. Scott lay sleeping in his tent, breaks away from the continent and drifts out into the high seas. Fortunately, Dr. Scott remembers to phone the Emergency Service Number and soon, valiant rescuers - on helicopters and planes - begin to drop the needed supplies. Unfortunately, Dr. Scott's troubles are not over. The rescuers have tried too hard. They have almost overwhelmed the great scientist/researcher with emergency supplies and now he must escape from the dropping boxes!

In Arctic Rush, you play the part of the scientist/researcher Dr. Scott. Your task is to survive the relentless cascade of boxes and score points by exploding them. You are assisted by your faithful dog, Sheriff, who will drive off the marauding polar bears who are trying to take the most important supplies. Directions: Move Dr. Scott to stack three identical boxes together to gain points. Explode boxes for points. Reward Sheriff with a bone for chasing the polar bears away. Have fun!

The Arctic is the area around the Earth's North Pole. The Arctic includes parts of Russia, Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Lapland, and Norway (including Svalbard), as well as the Arctic Ocean. The 10°C (50°F) July isotherm is commonly used to define the border of the Arctic region. The Arctic is also known as the Land of the Midnight Sun as it is within the Arctic Circle. The name Arctic comes from ancient Greek, meaning 'bear,' and is a reference to the constellations of the Great Bear and Little Bear, which are located near the North Star (which is actually part of the Little Bear). The Arctic has never been under the political control of any nation, although some nations' militaries have attached a strategic importance to the region. In the 1950s and 1960s, the arctic was often used by submarines to test new weapons, sonar equipment, and depth. During the Cold War, the Arctic region was extensively monitored by the United States military, since it was the opinion of the said military that the first warnings of a Soviet Union nuclear strike would have been indicated by ICBMs launched over the North Pole towards the United States. The United States placed such importance on the region that two military decorations, the Arctic Service Ribbon and Coast Guard Arctic Service Medal, were established for military duty performed within the arctic circle.
