Holiday 2003 Icy Tower Contest

Win a copy of Call of Duty

By , About.com Guide

This holiday season I will be offering everyone with a PC and an Internet connection the chance to win a copy of the new hit computer game, Call of Duty. A first-person, action game for the PC, developed by Infinity Ward--a newly formed studio including 22 of the individuals, and all of the production leads, who developed the PC title Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.

How will the winner be determined you ask? Well, it’s easy; all you have to do is download and play the free game Icy Tower and submit your high score, along with you saved replay by 11:59pm U.S. Central Standard Time on December 17th. If your score is the highest then you’ve won the copy of Call Of Duty.

All one has to do is visit the free game page for Icy Tower and follow the download link in the right hand corner menu box. Once the 3MB installation file is downloaded and installed to your PC all you have to do is start playing. The winner is determined by submitting saved replay files from the Icy Tower game via email to the About.com Computer Action Games email.

Saving a replay of Icy Tower:
After your game of Icy Tower is over you will be given the option to save the just completed game as a replay .itr file. This file can be named whatever you like and is located in the sub directory called “Replays” which is in the directory that Icy Tower was installed to on your hard drive. The file is basically a replay of your game with your score and all of your moves recorded. All .itr files submitted must be dated between November 30th - December 17th 2003.

Upon review of this file, your score will be ranked among all of the entries and the person with the highest score will be awarded the game Call of Duty. In the instance of a tie for the top score, the top scorer’s names will be drawn randomly to decide who wins. Players can submit replay files as many times as they like up until December 17th(11:59pm US Central Standard Time). Any entries after this date/time will not be reviewed. The winner will be announced by Saturday December 20th A winner residing in the 48 states will have the game sent via US Priority Mail. Any shipping outside of the United States will be sent regular mail.
