Click, Click, Click #4: A Video Game Christmas

Mr. C has decided to grace us with 30 festive frames per second of animated (and puppetized) Christmas cheer.

Who doesn’t want video games for Christmas?

Who doesn’t want video games in their Christmas specials?

You see, sometimes a princess needs saving. Sometimes it’s poor children. And sometimes it’s Santa Claus.

Superheroes and electronic saviors are a nice counterpoint to the EVIL ROBOT SANTA or those working for similar aims. Remember the time Santa crash-landed in Pac-Land, and had to explain who the hell he was to the freaked-out citizens of that particular video game village?

Or that time when Dr. Robotnik kidnapped Santa and replaced him? And demanded the kids give him presents? And Sonic had to save him?


Yeah, maybe this is why Sega went under as a console maker.

Of course you don’t. That’s stupid. Why all the tie-ins to franchises that just DON’T MAKE SENSE?!

Oh, right, money. Sales. Video games are huge Christmas gifts.

Let the video game festivities continue:


Donkey Kong Jr.: A Christmas Story (1982) (1 of 2)


Earthworm Jim: For Whom the Jingle Bell Tolls (1 of 3) (sorry, crunched video)


And, last, but not least, Mario and Luigi try to teach cave people the meaning of Christmas. In the middle of August.


“These my toys, Koopa dude!”
