The Alpine Encounter is an espionage game in which the player must stop an evil plot at an alpine ski resort.[2] While primarily an adventure, it includes a skiing action game.[1]

Reception

[edit]

James A. McPherson reviewed the program for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "An intermediate level game, The Alpine Encounter has detailed graphics similar to other current graphic adventure games."[3]

Terry Rooker reviewed VODAC: The Alpine Encounter in Space Gamer No. 73.[2] Rooker commented that "For people who like espionage adventures, VODAC can be fun and exciting. First you have to figure out the correct commands to be used; then you have to solve the mystery and save the world. If you are willing to accept this dual challenge, VODAC: The Alpine Encounter is the game for you."[2]
