Christmas themed titles?
ZXDB contains a list of Christmas themed titles:
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... up_id=5003
This list is probably incomplete. What other titles are missing?
Notice however that several titles include the word "Christmas" just because they were released at this time of year, but they don't have a Christmas theme. For instance Hewson's Christmas Collection and Codemasters' Christmas Megapack. These titles shouldn't be in the list!

Gremlins the Adventure, maybe? The story takes place in Christmas.

Re: Christmas themed titles?
Thanks but... It looks like a game merely associated with the Winter season, but not specifically about Christmas.

Thanks but... Christmas only seems to be a minor detail in the story. It's not one of the main themes of this game.Juan F. Ramirez wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2017 9:25 pmGremlins the Adventure, maybe? The story takes place in Christmas.

This one:

It's a Polish demo containing a collection of traditional Polish Christmas carols (load in 128 kB mode and press numbers to hear them)

Re: Christmas themed titles?
Also it seems that you miss 3 Reyes Magos:

I believe it's about these guys so it's definitely Christmas theme:

Re: Christmas themed titles?
Definitely Christmas, as the reyes magos (the magic kings) are very important in xmas in Spain and most central and south american countries (not sure if also in eastern europe) where children get their xmas gifts from them (not Santa) in the night of 5th january.
They're coming soon!

We know about them and celebrate their day on 6th January. It's even a day off work in Poland. But they don't bring us presents, usually Santa does.Definitely Christmas, as the reyes magos (the magic kings) are very important in xmas in Spain and most central and south american countries (not sure if also in eastern europe) where children get their xmas gifts from them (not Santa) in the night of 5th january.
