Game: James Pond II - Codename Robocod (USA, Europe)

James Pond 2: Codename Robocod is a platform game, based on jumping and beating all the enemies on your way to rescue Santa. It's simple, yes, but fun. As far as our main character can do, he can jump, run, and go to really high heights, useful for reaching items and other stuff. And also, in mid-air and by pressing down, he can smash his enemies for some extra damage per hit. The health/lives system is a bit confusing at first, but once you get or lose some health and lives it becomes simple: one hand is showing the remaining lives, and the other one is holding the health bars. It can be difficult at times, and it's very easy to notice that if you keep getting hit. Maybe it's a challenge, maybe not, only your skills will give you the answer. Even if it's not Christmas, it's worth a try, and it can be one of your favorites.
