Never played it, but Retro Zone has it every year.

There's a link to download the ROM for free, but you're apparently missing out on "extra animations" and high score saving.

Re: Games with a Christmas or Winter theme?
I haven't thought of this game in years. After I saw your post, I googled "Ski Free" and found that the original 16-bit game has been updated to run on 32 bit systems. I just played it. It's still as much fun as I remember.BurningDoom wrote:
Googling has also shown that there is such a thing as Ski Free fan fiction. Yes, you read that right. Not just one person, but a whole community of "writers" have written fan fiction about the nameless guy from Ski Free who gets eaten by the abominable snow monster.

Who thought up this stuff?
Seriously?The Abominable Snow Monster discovers a new lonliness in his heart, as well as a new passion...

Does the snow animate in the background (I'm guessing not)?
Would be more awesomer if some of the music was hacked into holiday music, but it still looks great as-is.

Batman Returns on the SNES has snow falling and Christmas trees throughout the levels it you want to check that out. 2D sidescrolling beat em up from Konami.
