The WORST Christmas Game I've ever Played | Santa (ZX Spectrum) Review

[@arostwocents]

Epic video. That was brilliant 😂🎉

[@Quimbyrbg]

I loved the part where you were joking about playing 'burst the balloons' each Xmas, but your little miss was having none of it. Good on her for calling out your BS gaslighting, she's far less gullible than my kids. I bought a book by a man with the same name as my son (which is a fairly unique name); When it arrived I showed him and he asked why his name was on it. So obviously I told him it was because he wrote it and he furrowed his brow and started intently thumbing through it like he may have published this novel in a fugue state. Being a Dad has its perks. It's frowned upon to tease children unless you made them yourself.

I like this game a lot it has good graphics but the controls are hard to get used to I'd definetely buy it if I had the money. Four Stars.

LEAVE THE TAPE ON

[@PooperScooperTrooper]

Arghh! Totally missed this during xmas!

[@ctrlaltrees]

Your daughter should definitely have her own RTS-style game review channel.

[@RoseTintedSpectrum]

RTS Mini. Does not come with USB cable.

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Agreed. A block off the old chip.

[@BinnisRetro]

Your daughters deadpan delivery of “We don´t burst the balloons” was the best part

[@RoseTintedSpectrum]

We do, every year, it's a Christmas tradition. She's just forgetful.

[@CountDrunkula]

I like that the reindeer looks like the xenomorph in Alien 3. Also. BLOONS.

[@arostwocents]

Isn't there a gba game about Bloons? 😂

[@RetrogradeScene]

Love that your got your Daughter involved! I think Rudolph goes racing looks pretty good!

[@FireButtonGaming]

Not gonna lie that Santa loading screen looks like something out of a modern day creepypasta.

[@RoseTintedSpectrum]

Well it does preclude a portal into hell, so you might be on to something!

[@matslarsson5988]

Thumbs up for the video and extra thumbs for your daughter's singing in the end!

[@B3tanTyronne]

Worryingly the Santa sprite reminds me more of a low poly goatse, which more than likely says more about me than anything else.

[@RoseTintedSpectrum]

That's what I mean, it looks a bit like Santa

[@PaulGrahamRetroPaul]

That was so funny. Your chuckling at the balloon game made my day. Hope you and yours have a fab Xmas 🎄

[@RoseTintedSpectrum]

She's used to me winding her up. I just get "the glare".

[@swevicus]

It's that time of year again - Merry Christmas, everyone. :)

[@Vakantscull]

those wot faces broke me 😂😂😂😂

[@RoseTintedSpectrum]

wat

[@Vakantscull]

@@RoseTintedSpectrum Did you like it? Yeah Would you like it as a present? No :|

[@RetroSteveUK]

Getting your daughter to comment on it was genius! That's pretty much the reaction I would have had back in the day to this pile of shinola. 🤣

[@ironmanTetsuoTV]

Brilliant! The video, not the game. Have a great Christmas!

[@arostwocents]

A Very Sheepy Xmas, i tried the other day, its very nice actually.

[@michael.almond]

Here he is. Merry Christmas to you and yours mate.

[@stewsretroreviews]

Thats one bad stocking, what a stinker of a game, thanks for showing, not!!😂. Nice song at the end👍🏻

[@ChrisFranklyn]

The worm on the menu I thought was something COMPLETELY different. A word that might get the video flagged so I won't say.

[@RoseTintedSpectrum]

Yeah, it certainly had a very... Spunky attitude.

[@BloggosPow]

F*ck! IVE FORGOTTEN TO BUY BALLOONS FOR CHRISTMAS DAY BURSTING!!!!!

[@arostwocents]

I hope at least one person who saw this video actually played the game and brought back that lost 80s classic of family entertainment

[@Dino83]

This is what you love to see!

[@taxalot]

You have a lovely channel and an adorable daughter. Unless you prefer it the other way around.

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

Those ARE crappy. But the scrolling on Rudolph? Does? Dallas? was VERY nicely done. Especially if it's just in BASIC. It's not character based! Balloons are a sexy part of Christmas... at least mine are. 12 for a pound! The snow level slowing rising in Catch the Snowflakes was nice. Ho ho ho!

[@consty715]

You should be reported to child services for making her play that

[@Orosian5]

[@TYNEPUNK]

loved this when i was like 5.

[@dreadhead170]

You will be horrified by the fact I bought this game and still have it.

[@RoseTintedSpectrum]

The most cursed ownership of all time

[@mamehaze]

I owned this one, although I don't remember it having a main menu, and for some reason thought each game loaded individually, but I was a kid, and spent more time changing the code than playing the 'games'

[@mysterycrumble]

was 25 pence a lot then? YES! YES IT WAS!

[@Vakantscull]

If something was made for children, that doesn't let it off the hook... *Lan Jam intensifies*

[@E-MIK]

You really must review "the black planet" by Phipps associates, It is an atrocious mixture of about 100 machine code bytes, compiled BASIC and stolen ideas from "the adventure game" It is really dire.

[@primokarma9841]

If your kids don''t burst the balloons this Christmas, I'm calling child care!! ...would your daughter review Runescape if you won't?

[@RoseTintedSpectrum]

Only if it features blocks she can punch.

[@primokarma9841]

@@RoseTintedSpectrum you can punch pretty much anything to be honest… except blocks

[@RoseTintedSpectrum]

@@primokarma9841 She'll hate that. She only punches blocks. That was an O, just to clarify.
