We’re doing a review on the game because we have an Exclusive Santa Column we run every year at Christmas.It has a stupid name that isn’t funny and doesn’t make sense.Let’s just establish a few things about it:

There’s also a kind of Earthworm Jim (also released in 1994) style break between platforming levels, where Santa drops presents into chimneys.īut that’s about it from Daze Before Christmas. Once you do that, Santa becomes invincible and you can go on a rampage. You get to turn into Santa’s evil twin, who’s called Anti-Claus. However, there is one interesting thing going on. Not only that, he’s cursed the and put a spell on the presents! The evil bastard!Īnd with that mighty plot developed convincingly, as Santa you go out into levels and jump about a bit whilst listening to 16-bit renditions of Jingle Bells. It’s his mission to save Christmas! And he must do so from an evil mouse who’s stolen all the presents in the world. So, yes, in the game you take control of Santa Claus.
