    Default Best Christmas/Holiday games....

    I just picked up Christmas Nights for the Saturn.... Great game to play Christmas Eve with the kids.... Great music, etc..

    Any other Christmas themed games out there?

    Any of you have Christmas gaming traditions?

    I, too, enjoy playing Christmas Nights around the holidays. I also like to play a bit of Snatcher on my trusty ol' Sega CD since one of the areas in the game (Alton Plaza) has a nice rendition of Jingle Bells ...
    Mika: Where are you taking me, Gillian?
    Gillian: To look at videos on YouTube...
    Mika: *sigh* No more videos of a drunk Harry dancing with a dead Snatcher...
    Giliian: Nope, it's better...Its LiquidPolicenauts YouTube Videos!
    Gillian: And after that, you should also visit
    The Policenauts Paradise and Snatcher Shrine

    Bust-A-Move 2 for the Saturn changes to a Christmas and New Years theme with the Saturn's internal clock. I don't believe the changes effect in-game play or graphics, but the opening cinematic switches to a festive, cheery holiday theme.

    While they aren't really Christmas themed, I tend to play games with winter elements during holiday season. Games like Penguin Land, Ice Climber, Snow Brothers, and the original Silent Hill (and now Shattered Memories)...not that you'd play SH with the children.

    Blue Stinger.

    I usually play through Actraiser around this time of year because it was a childhood Christmas present.

    Super Mario 64.

    For me, this title holds some magical memories of probably the best Christmas of mine. I tend to play through some or most of the game around this time of year.

    I actually play through that one at least once a year during christmas. From what I know the Mega Drive version was only released in Australia and the SNES version wasn't release at all, not even in Europe.

    I'm also another Christmas Nights fan, probably the best christmas themed game ever.

    Practically all of Donkey Kong Country but that's because it was released before then and I remember playing it every chance I got at Toys R us and Walmart. Got it for Christmas and proceeded to get 101% racing with my friends (they got it too.)

    DAZE BEFORE CHRISTMAS on the SNES.

    I play through this game at least once before Christmas every year. Platforming perfection!

    you have a SNES version?

    as Todesengel has previously mentioned, this has only been released on the Megadrive and exclusive to Australia.......maybe?

    I even tried looking for a R0M of the snes version (even a proto) with no luck...I dont even think there is a Super Famicom version....

    There's a ROM out there, there's plenty of youtube videos of the SNES version out there.

    On Racketboy someone says that it's been dumped and he has the ROM, the post is about halfway down the page.

    ROM... I've looked for a cart of this and never fully understood what the situation was; whether it was released or not. Been in talks with sellers who bailed out last minute, etc.
