Mean Santa is a Homebrew Video Game by 2600 Connection.
The unthinkable has happened. Santa Claus has decided not to give toys to children anymore. He's decided he's through being a jolly old elf. In fact, he's decided he's going to take back everyone's Christmas presents, ending Christmas for the whole world.
And that's what the game's all about. As Santa, you'll be flying from house to house, going down chimneys and stripping the interiors of all things Christmasy, before going back up the chimney and moving on.
The game was released in 2020 for the Atari 2600. It's also available for the Colecovision and Intellivision.
Mean Santa contains examples of:
- Angry Guard Dog: Later houses contain a sleeping dog that will wake up and start chasing Santa.
- Bad Santa: You play as a Santa Claus who's out to steal everyone's presents.
- Cumulonemesis: There are angry-eyed clouds outside that will shoot lightening downwards. Try to make sure Santa's not under them.
- Shout-Out: Of the toys Santa can steal, there are toy-sized AT-AT Walkers and Virtual Boys.
- Three-Quarters View: How the house interiors are viewed.
- Villain Protagonist: You play as Santa Claus stealing Christmas presents from the whole world.
