'Twas the night before Christmas...

While Santa and his elves were busy getting ready for their most important night of the year, an Evil Snowman broke into Santa's Workshop and stole some of the presents! With no time to lose, Santa has sent his most trusted and resourceful elf, Carol Greenleaf, to confront the Evil Snowman and bring back the stolen gifts.

Meanwhile, the Evil Snowman has hidden the loot deep in the Frozen Ice Cube Caverns on top of the Himalayan Peaks. The caves are haunted by the Ghost Of Christmas Presents, who is very fond of wrapped packages and will not easily part from his newly acquired treasure.

You must guide Carol through the dark and frozen cave and help her retrieve all the presents before the Evil Snowman returns, and without attracting too much attention from the Ghost Of Christmas Presents.

The Characters


Carol Greenleaf, A.K.A. Christmas Carol

Christmas Carol's skills and smarts are very highly regarded around the North Pole. You must guide Carol through the cave and help her pick up all the packages.

The Ghost Of Christmas Presents

The Ghost Of Christmas Presents likes to walk around his cave tending his packages. He is hard of hearing and won't notice Carol rummaging about. However, he is very keen on protecting his presents, and may be alerted if someone tries to take them. Don't let Carol get too close to the Ghost, or else he will take all her presents!

The Evil Snowman

The Evil Snowman is busy plotting his next caper, so Carol has not much to worry for the moment. However, she would be wise to not spend too much time looking around, for the Evil Snowman may return at any time. Heed the Snowman's howl, for it warns you of his impending attack!

The Items


Ice Cube

What can be said about an ice cube? It's made of water, and it is very cold. And hard.

Christmas Present

There are eight of these presents scattered around the cave, and Carol will not leave the cave before retrieving every single one of them. Picking up a package will alert the Ghost to Carol's presence. But don't fret, he is forgetful and will soon resume his stroll around the cave.

Candy

Being an elf, Carol loves candy, and will eat as much of it as she can find. The Ghost left some of his own Halloween loot lying around the floor of his cave. But be careful, Carol has a tendency to slow down while eating candy on the run!

Magical Snowflake

Deep within the Frozen Ice Cube Caverns, there are some very peculiar Snowflakes enchanted with the magic of yore. It is said that eating a Magical Snowflake stuns the feeble minded and dulls the senses of everyone around but the consumer. Carol will be wise to respect the ancient magic of these Snowflakes and only use them when absolutely necessary.
