Sure, it is a little after Christmas but that doesn’t mean we can’t still talk about some of the more interesting games that use that holiday as a theme. One of those titles is Atomic Santa Christmas Omega by Jay Tholen for Windows computers. The story for Atomic Santa is pretty basic if you just gloss over it- the North Pole has been nuked by the Illuminati. The reason the Illuminati tried to end Santa and the cheer he brings is because he stood fast and would not partner with them. What a stand up guy.
Santa’s helpers, the elves that make the toys, or at least the ones that survive the initial blast, find Santa and Rudolph in the remains. The elves take the unconscious toy delivering duo to their underground facility where they are given the best available health care possible (no word if this is a part of the Affordable Care Act or not). Elf magic and a voodoo magic called science helps bring Santa and Rudolph heal up to something resembling a normal state of health. Along the way, some 6 Million Dollar Man magic was performed on Rudolph and Santa. Rudolph is a more equipped cyborg than RoboCop and Santa has tuned into underlying atomic powers.
The Illuminati are not done though, a second attack occurs on the North Pole and this is just not something Santa and Rudolph are ready to allow to happen without some payback. That is when things get interesting.
Atomic Santa is a side scrolling action platform title when you are controlling Santa but when Rudolph comes on the scene you are treated to a shooter, similar to Santlantean on the Turbo Grafx-16. If you are interested in throwing around more than just Santa’s big red belly, check out Atomic Santa: Christmas Omega for Windows.
Grab Atomic Santa: Christmas Omega from Jay’s website.
