Christmas Carol

vs.

The Ghost Of Christmas Presents


'Twas the night before Christmas...

While Santa and his elves were busy getting ready for their most important night of the year, an Evil Snowman broke into Santa's Workshop and stole some of the presents! With no time to lose, Santa has sent his most trusted and resourceful elf, Carol Greenleaf, to confront the Evil Snowman and bring back the stolen gifts.

Meanwhile, the Evil Snowman has hidden the loot deep in the Frozen Ice Cube Caverns on top of the Himalayan Peaks. The caves are haunted by the Ghost Of Christmas Presents, who is very fond of wrapped packages and will not easily part from his newly acquired treasure.

You must guide Carol through the dark and frozen cave and help her retrieve all the presents before the Evil Snowman returns, and without attracting too much attention from the Ghost Of Christmas Presents.

Looks cool.  I see that it can be downloaded. Are there plans for a release in cart?

Yes, it is a bit early but the page for this game is up.  Ordering details will be given after this weekend as the game is being shown at CGE.

Search function, not manual search.  The search function should have been able to find it.

Where did you hear that?  Nothing had been posted on AA when I last checked or on the Inty sites I visit!  I want to get this and Space Patrol...they are going to sell them both!

EDIT:  I just checked the official page and it still says "coming soon."
