'Boogiewings' eh? Did a reverse image lookup... looks interesting so thanks for that.

Holiday editions of: Nights into Dreams obviously, Jazz Jackrabbit "Holiday Hare", Fire & Ice Christmas special edition (http://hol.abime.net/549), uh and now I'm drawing a blank in terms of 'good' Christmas-themed games.

There's a lot of holiday-themed sections in games that isn't the WHOLE game that I can think of though.

A lot of recent games have some Christmas themes.

Ratchet & Clank Into the Nexus has a cool weapon called the "Winterizer". It can turn enemies into snowmen that explode into Christmas gifts, all while playing a cheerful Christmas jingle.

Also, Puppeteer has a snow level where you can find a little cabin with a Christmas tree and hear one of the characters talk about Santa.

Then you have Batman Arkham Origins, which all takes place during Christmas time. Alfred at one point even wishes Batman a Merry Christmas.

I've only played the base game (which is Halloween-central) but Costume Quest has some Christmasy/wintry DLC called "Grubbins on Ice."

(Man I'm going to have to GET MY STUFF TOGETHER AND PLAY IT this year.)

Well, except for the levels where you're "snow"boarding on a friggin' beach or on a grassy hillside or in OUTER SPACE.

Or, in the sequel, a bedroom after being shrunk down, a medieval castle, UNDER THE OCEAN, etc etc etc

But yeah I'd say the games are plenty wintery outside of that. :lol:

Great series btw. Some of my favorite n64 games.

Retro DOS time!

Jetpack had a Christmas update that was awesome.

Jazz Jackrabbit made a Holiday Hare Edition in 1994.

Brainchild Design of Jump'n'Bump and Quadnet fame made a game called "Santa's back get broken". No link available so: here.

And here's the most Christmas-y Demoscene demo I ever watched: Iguana's Blastersound BBS into 2. Never knew 640x480 had that many pixels - nice song too
