Xmas coming - Suggest Xmas games!

[Deleted]

Christmas is coming and I'm in a mood for some fun Christmas themed video games. Taking suggestions. They can be for any platform. I currently only have Jazz Jackrabbit Holiday Hare games for PC in my playing list. I've already finished Daze Before Christmas (SNES), which wasn't so special.

Thanks in advance.

Jetpak Christmas is a DOS game that's basically like Lode Runner with a well... jetpack. If you enjoy that, you might want to grab the regular version of Jetpak. It's been free for like the past 10 years.

If you've got a Saturn or your computer can handle Saturn emulation, Christmas Nights is pretty much a no-brainer. It's only got one level, but there's a lot of little unlockables, including a fun little mode where you play as Sonic.

Christmast NiGHTS is pretty much the only correct answer.

Actually, I think Christmas Nights had two levels... either way...

There is a Christmas tree in Sean's New Generation stage. Do versus matches with a friend, selecting only that backdrop.

If Japanese games are OK, Lindacube (a.k.a. Linda3, a.k.a. Linda^3) is Christmas-themed.

Though I can't say it's very... er... "Christmasy."

Don't play Elf Bowling. Please.

Does Santageddon ring any bells?

For serious recommendation: Lemmings Holiday Edition.

Are there Doom mods where you're supposed to be Santa and you're shooting up the toy factory with all the elves in it?

Playing Christmas Nights now, thankfully this year I actually remembered to play it around christmas thanks to my girlfriend reminding me. It's pretty strange but good fun since you can turn it on for 15-30 minutes everyday and get more unlockables.

Banjo-Kazooie's ice world Freezeezy Peak leaps to mind with its Christmas motifs. I'd go as far as recommending the NES Home Alone, too, which is a better game than you might think it would be (avoid the sequel like the plague, though - it's god-awful).

Doesn't Croc have a Christmas stage or something? Or am I remembering wrong?

Also Secret of Mana as that winter world where you have to rescue Santa or something in the Ice Country? I don't remember exactly how he was involved.

Donkey Kong Country 3 takes place in the wintery Northern Kremisphere, and there's a cheat code (At the Select Game menu, highlight a saved game and press L, R, R, L, R, R, L, R, L, R then enter MERRY) which makes the bonus-games Christmas-themed.

Thanks everyone. Keep the suggestions coming.

I've added Christmas NiGHTS, all 4 Holiday Lemmings games, and James Pond 2: Codename RoboCod to my Christmas gaming list.

Pretty sure Santa Claus is hidden in the first stage of Soviet Strike.
