Australia?! I knew a kid who had this one! Where the hell did he get it? Did I unknowingly live next to a family of game bootleggers?

Crap, now I can't stop imagining my old neighbors as sneaky mafia type criminals wearing dark shades and hanging around at the docks to pick up unlawful shipments of Cool Spot.

It's a shame that didn't come out here, Sunsoft made some pretty fun games.

For Anti-Claus I can only understand one thing:

Fat, godammned bastard who steals presents from all the kids' houses (non-Grinch related) and leaves them the corpses he carries in his huge bodybag instead.

The Australian gaming press weren't as kind as you about this game, Dr. Boogie.

One magazine said it was, and I quote, "Way too cutesy to be taken seriously, with a completion time measured in minutes. This game could be a challenge for anyone who has yet to attend school."

"You, as Santa, must get everything back, punish the offenders"


PUNISH!

Poor Aussies.

I've got this on my psp, it does have nice visuals, but I haven't played much.

If they really want a decent game about christmas to review, they should do james pond 2 for the genesis. I still play it every once in a while on my psp genesis emulator.

Way ahead of you.

Man, looking at that Anti-Claus picture I figured "for sure this must be a resprite-ed version of a Japanese game, like Decap Attack or Yo, Noid!, that originally starred a Tanooki." You know, the racoon thing Mario can turn into in Mario 3, oh, and it has a nutsack the size of mainland China that it uses to smack people? It's actually been done in games before, and look where that sack Anti-Claus is carrying in that screenshot is positioned and tell me I'm wrong (except, you know, for the fact that I am).
