Sanity Clause

Author:Mike McCauley
Genre:Seasonal
Released:1991
License:Shareware
Review:

You're Santa Claus, and you have the impossible task of delivering toys all over the world in one night. You accomplish this by means of "Christmas magic", which only operates for an hour around midnight on Christmas eve. A clever idea, but not well-executed - death is unreasonably frequent, and progress is frequently blocked by obscure puzzles and "guess-the-verb" situations.

Rating: ***
