comment |
Daze Before Christmas is a 1994 Platformer Game made by Funcom, a Norwegian company for the Mega Drive and SNES.Following the template of other arcade-based platformers popular at the time, you're Santa Claus, and you're on a mission to retrieve your presents after an evil mouse and his minions have stolen everything from your workshop, days before Christmas, besides abducting your reindeers and elves. Collecting presents across multiple levels, your Santa does battle against rats, hostile toys, evil snowmen and the like, and kicks ass with an array of spells Santa (apparently) has at his disposal, besides unleashing his superpowered side - a horned demon wearing Santa's robes called Anti-Claus. |
