Anyone know of any festive or christmas themed games for the Amstrad or any other retro machine for that matter?

Two games that come to mind are:
- The Official Father Christmas
- Santa's Xmas Caper
Both of them are rubbish!
There's also a collection of four games called
Compendium, which has a Christmas theme - but it's not very good either!
Donno if this counts, but im pretty sure there is a few CWTA Type-in games that are Christmas-y. I recall playing at least one where you moved santa around a maze thingy.

Probably Save Santa (http://tacgr.emuunlim.com/downloads/filedetail.php?recid=3099)?
A Rick dangerous special christmas was done, I don't remember on which computer...let me check :

Oh, not that Christmas themed, but the Rick 128+...will be released on Xmas too... ;)
Another simili Xmas theme :
Night shift !
you have to manage a toy factory...
Not for a retro machine, but a retro game.
Anyone who hasn't tried Jardinains (http://jardinains.com/) (arkanoid clone with a twist) should definitely try it out and have lots of fun!
Okay just played Santa's Christmas Capers and boy is it awful!!
Few things wrong with it.
1) There is no Santa in it!!! Reindeer and your sled but nobody in it!!!
2) Way too hard
3) Graphics are pretty appalling. block and chunky doesnt describe it enough!
Well just finished the official father christmas and at least that had some variety!!! not exactly fun in any way but at least it was playable !
I thought Dizzy was released with a xmas theme?
I recall a chrismas Amiga cover disc with a short "Cannon Soccer" game on it (Cannon Fodder and Sensible Soccer kinda mix).
Also recall there being a lot of "christmas" easter eggs in Saturn & Dreamcast games. Like if you set you console to christmas date you get different "christmas" graphics in Nights.
