Top 5 Weirdest Christmas Video Games - Press Pause Daily

[LESS INFO] 21 VIEWS | ADDED 01:16:55 12/17/11
Jaime, the Press Pause Christmas Elf is here with a Top 5 list of some of the weirdest Christmas video games. SHOW NOTES: As we mentioned yesterday, this time of year can bring out Christmas themed games, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t a bit on the weird side. So here is our Top 5 Weirdest classic Christmas video games tabulated by classicgames.about.com http://classicgames.about.com/od/toppicks/ig/Weirdest-Christmas-Video-Games/ 5. Number 5 is Santa Clause Saves The Earth. This late PS 1 title was a super mario brother clone with Santa collecting the coins. Loose controls and a weak premise made this a forgettable game for sure, but hey it made THIS list didn’t it? Backstory? some weird fairy creature zaps Santa into a strange land filled with odd creatures all hell bent on ending jolly Ol’ St. Nick. 4. In at number 4 is Frosty The Snowman aka Frosty’s Busy Night. Gotta love a game that has it’s own aka. Also this game came out for the Commodore 64 so hard not to have a warm sense of nostalgia. However the game itself is another odd Christmas entry by putting Frosty back to work the second he got back to the North Pole. Your job is to bring presents from the elves back to Santa, avoiding obstacles and pitfalls along the way. The game was actually given away as a freebie in a Commodore 64 magazine. Can’t go wrong with free but in this case I might have just went back and watched Frosty The Snowman again instead. 3. Daze Before Christmas is our number 3 weirdest classic Christmas game and it has the most sinister plot twist on the list. The back story here is that while Santa was taking a milk induced nap a bunch of terrible people came in and stole some elves and presents. Santa wakes up and decides to take it upon himself to go rescue the lot. Fighting off giant mice, penguins, and headless snowmen along the way. The weird twist? When Santa finds a special elixir power-up he turns into the Anti-Claus and destroys everything in his path. He even has horns which is just messed up. Good news is .. with the help of your crazy alter ego you’ll probably get back most of those crappy gifts and unappreciative elves. Score! 2. Number 2 is Santa's Christmas Caper. Developer Zeppelin actually created two different titles for both the Commodore 64 and Amiga. The Commodore 64 version sees Santa as a lush too drunk to drive his sleigh and deliver gifts so you take it upon yourself to step up and fly his sleigh, tonight. The game quickly turns into a side scrolling shooter, because you know that’s what flying Santa’s sleigh is all about .. shooting shit. The Amiga version had Santa crash landing his sleigh and spilling out all the presents. The game turns into a Super Mario brothers style platformer having you platforming throughout Lapland to get back all the gifts. Yes, I said Lapland. The name of the place he crash lands is called Lapland. Man can’t Santa hold it together for one second? I mean really Santa. It’s embarrassing. 1. And in at number one is the ugliest looking Christmas game on the list. Special Delivery: Santa’s Christmas Chaos. Hard to even tell this is a Christmas game with the nonexistent graphics and low resolution. I mean is that Santa or a pink colored gorilla? Cant tell. In the game you land your sleigh on houses and descend a huge tower sized chimney complete with bad guys coming at you in all directions. You remember that from all the Christmas stories right? No? You don’t? Yeah neither do I. Once you get into each house you have to drop off a present and then grab a key to leave. Although couldn’t you just take that huge ass chimney with the ladder on the way out? Man .. these games make Christmas a lot more complicated then it should be, don't they? Oh well....Happy Holidays.
