Source-derived summary

Arctic Moves is a run and gun video game developed by Dinamic Software for the Atari ST, but this version was not released due to Dinamic's Software bankruptcy (1992). The game was ported to MS-DOS compatible operating systems and published in 1995 by Dinamic Multimedia. The Atari ST version was finally developed by Luis Mariano Garcia (an ex member of Dinamic Software and later, Dinamic Multimedia). An Amiga conversion of the Atari ST version was released in February 2017 by Meynaf. It is the third installment in the Moves Trilogy and preceded by Army Moves in 1986 as well as Navy Moves in 1987.

Plot

After being successful on his previous missions in Army Moves and Navy Moves, Derdhal must now travel to the Arctic and infiltrate a base held by aliens who want to use future human technology for their causes. A U-92 submarine takes Derdhal outside the arctic base and he must use his weapons and skills to finally find out what is going on. The game follows the issues of the previous ones, especially in difficulty levels.

Gameplay

The game is split into two parts. In the first part (Mission 1), the player starts on the frozen surface of the Arctic.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “1995 video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2877664. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1992, 1995, 2017 and 1986.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
