12 Retro Games Before Christmas - Part 2/4

gamingverdict | December 18, 2008 | Blog | Misc 
Seemed like an easy task - looking for 12 top Christmas games from yesteryear and linking them to the '12 Days of Christmas'. With 6 to go, suggestions on a postcard please.
Ah Christmas. The lights, the presents, the tree, the presents, the carol singers, the presents. Oh those joyous presents. ItÂ’s a time to revel in all that you have and sneer at the have-nots. But despite the corrupting influence that capitalism and materialism has fostered in our cynical view of the holy holiday, there was a time before the magic had been cruelly shattered, when Christmas meant something different. It was a time for putting aside our narcissistic dreams of world domination and thinking of those less fortunate than ourselves (Amstrad owners for instance). Special Delivery is a game that takes that ethos and puts you in the big red pants depositing packages of happiness down the chimneys of the world.

    Pretty nice, but personally i'm not usually one for Retro games. There's only a select few I can truly say I've actually enjoyed playing.

    Man, this list is taking forever. Wish they had clumped all 12 titles together and not spread them out 3 games per week for 4 weeks or so.
