Games with a Christmas or Winter theme?

8-bit Xmas

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.

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.

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?

The Abominable Snow Monster discovers a new lonliness in his heart, as well as a new passion...

Seriously?

There is also fanfiction for Tetris and pro wrestling.

HA! That looks awesome, I'm gonna have to try and give that a shot this season.

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.
