Recommend Some Good Festive Games

[dosteridge]

Well its that time of year (nearly) and I was just wondering what christmas games you like play?

I really like Daze before Christmas on Squidgesnes - a good platformer, Icicle Works on Vice and that homebrew game, (I think its called 2xmas or something like that) where you have to save the 2x's droping out of santa's sleigh.

Anybody know of some other good ones?

There was a great snow fight game on c64 given away with Zzap magazine, IIRC. Anyone remember the name? I think it was by Apex.

How about Icicle Works on the Commodore Plus 4, this can be run using Vice. Its a very fun Christmas type game.

It's called Snowball Sunday, and it's available at www.c64.com under the name Snowball Fight

There's also a C64 game which I did some music for (well, a Vince Clarke/ Erasure cover ) called 'Ferris Christmas Caper which makes me feel all Xmassy whenever I play it:

Christmas Nights (Saturn) and Dungeon Keeper 2 (PC) belive it or not. DK2 has such a "warm" feeling to it ; )

It's not on the GP2X but I love to play Elf Bowling and Elf Bowling 2 .

Beat me to it lol.
Elf Bowling 3's out now too

Wonder if we can get the developer to port these, as they're free games anyway?

I tried Elf Bowl 3 but never really got into it. My favourite is Elf Bowl 2, especially when the little elf sings "Tiny bubbles, yeah!" :lol:

Dungeon Keeper 2 is excellent, but it's very unstable. I tried soo much to get it to run and I never had it totally solid. I even tried Windows 98, it still crashed..... After trawling the bullfrog forums, I kinda guessed that most people have problems with it, which is a shame as it's a superb game .
