    Question can anybody help me figure out this game?

    It's some game I read about, oh, maybe 12 years ago when I was really really little, in a gaming magazine.

    I don't know what system it was on, or even if it was a real game.

    All I remember is this:

    You could play as either Santa Claus, One of the Reindeer, or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

    And you would go around beating up/killing little kids. Santa could hit the kids with his bag, the other reindeer was very strong and could beat the kids up, and Rudolph shot lasers from his nose causing the kids to explode.

    Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Was it just some kind of joke, or is it an actual game?

    haha, man, I'm starting to think maybe it's not real.

    I just remember reading it as a little kid, and it was probably one of the most insane things I had ever come across at that point in my life. It's stuck with me until now, obviously, and I've been wanting to play it all these years.

    How long has that stuff been around?

    I read about this in the very early 90s.

    Maybe the magazine was just being funny, and as a kid I took it seriously.

    Still, would be nice if it existed.

    Do you know what magazine it was? 1996 give or take a year. I have tons of magazines from then. Was it around X-mas? Any help?

    oh man, I REALLY wish I could remember. It could well have been 96. And I'm pretty sure it wasn't Nintendo Power.

    That's about all I got, sorry.

    I can just imagine this game being made, probably from Japan.

    Almost sounds like Bad Santa years before it came out in theaters.

    It probably does exist, but for PC or Mac (I would've said Amiga but I don't think it had many games released in the mid 90's.) There's an awful lot of games out there.

    I was thinking the same thing, that maybe it was just some whacked-out computer game. There's plenty of those.
