Play Daze Before Christmas (australia) Online

Daze Before Christmas came out for the Sega Genesis in 1994, developed by Funcom and published by Sunsoft. It was a side scrolling platformer from that era, a time when many games were built around simple, direct concepts. You don't see many Christmas themed action games, so it always stood out on the shelf for that reason alone.

You control Santa Claus, who has to rescue his reindeer and presents after they've been stolen. The gameplay involves moving screen by screen, jumping across platforms and avoiding enemies like mischievous elves and snowmen. Your main weapon is a bag of toys you throw at them; you can also collect candy canes for a screen clearing special attack. The pacing is fast, and the levels can get quite difficult with tricky jumps and enemy placements. It feels frantic and a little chaotic, like you're constantly trying to stay one step ahead of the holiday mischief.
