Xmas Games

Hardly seasonal but its been bugging me for a while. I vaguely remember a game that was kinda christmassy from years back, except I cant remember anything about it other than that. The main character might have been santa but I cant be sure of that, it might have been a commercial release or it might just have been on a covertape. Can folks post a list of such games, I have had a trawl through the archive and I cant find anything that looks right. There arent that many games so it shouldnt be a long list.

    The only game that springs to mind as being "christmassy" was Moley Christmas, the YS covertape game with Monty Mole.

    "Special Delivery" was a game released for the Xmas 84 market (I think) in which you played Santa delivering presents and going down chimneys etc. Wasn't that bad actually.

    Santa's Xmas Caper and The Official Father Christmas Game are the only ones that I can think of.

    Here's some more.

    Computer Christmas Card (Virgin)
    Plum Duff (Bug Byte)
    Santa (Artic) - I just got this as a freebie with an ebay auction I won. It's crap (in the actual sense of the word :)).

    Necros.

    X-Maze seems to me to be Christmas-themed (the player UDG looks like Santa, and he wields a sack and collects presents)...

    By an odd coincidence, I first came across this game yesterday, before seeing this thread.
    I never make misteaks mistrakes misyales errurs — oh, sod it.

    Wow! I haven't played or thought about that game for 20 years! Damn, does that bring back some memories... I was just about to reply and say how crap it was, but then I downloaded it and gave it another go, for old times sake.

    It's really rather good, apart from the one-pixel-out-and-you're-fkd vertical movement (yeah, that annoyed me 20 years ago too).

    Cheers! :D
