About this game

Solomon's Key 2, known as Fire 'n Ice in North America, is a puzzle video game released by Tecmo for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is a prequel to 1986's Solomon's Key, and was released in Japan in January 1992, followed by North America and Europe in March 1993. The game was re-released as part of the Nintendo Classics service for the Nintendo Switch in February 2021.

The aim of the game involves players extinguishing all fires in a level in order to proceed. They do this by creating and melting ice (in a Lode Runner style) or kicking ice onto the fires. This game also has a level editor (which may expose some bugs that substantially affect the game mechanics).

Storyline

On a snowy night by the fireplace, a grandmother tells an old story to her children. The island of Coolmint, an icy island far to the north where winter fairies live in peace. One day, however, an evil wizard appears on the island and unleashes a fire monster. Oh, no. If nothing is done, the island will melt. The Fairy Queen called Dana, who was still a novice wizard at the time, Dana's wisdom and courage brought peace to the island. Hoping that Dana's wisdom and courage would restore peace...
