In other words, DOS was on old machines, but in a different form. Everything the Windows OS did with file IO was through DOS (therefore everything, since graphics and sound and everything else are treated as files, don't ask. This DOS was different from old DOS, but still basically the same. A new DOS was made, that is not actually DOS but still uses the same commands and looks exactly the same and performs the same functions. Then there's Powershell, which is just a program which is awesome.

DOS is the basis for pretty much all Windows operating systems. Technically DOS (as known as a sole-OS) was included as the command prompt for all OS's (up to, I think ME, whatever, it was some time around there. DOS was since updated to something else entirely, though sometimes still called DOS, all the same commands exist, it is simply the background work that changed. The change from old DOS to Windows DOS was pretty big as well, though actually less so from compared to the recent change.

I remember playing this game a bit when I was 11 or so. Not going to lie - wasn't much of a fan, despite playing way too many DOS games. Also, I didn't have the historical background to understand why Saint Nicholas went from Spain to the Netherlands. Years later, I learned of the loving relationship between the two countries, particularly in the 16th century, and the tradition makes a bit more sense. I guess.

Hi phreakindee, I know you by your famous sims 3 review I always watch, but after watching this, I think you're awesome.
I'm Dutch, so it's kinda funny you make a review. Chocolate letters are a tradition with Sinterklaas too, just like -pepernoten- with means -peppernuts- < some sweet little cookies.
I understand you found this weird, I will too, but it's not. =)

I must say, a common misconception outside the Netherlands and Belgium is that the St. Nicolas feast is connected to Christmas. It was in the USA that Sinterklaas morphed into Santa Claus (get the etymology) and became associated with Christmas. As you can see from this game, the feast of St. Nicolas is celebrated at december 5th, quite some days away from Christmas.

Sinterklaas (or Saint Nicolas) was a saint somewhere in the middelages. He profided food and stuff for poor kids. Eventually in the 1800's it got it's form as it is now, that children get presents on his birthday december 5th. Your santa claus is based off of him since, you know, we celebrate this holiday for longer then America has exicted.

I remember in school one or two of the computers that had Windows 98 had this game, we all fought to use this computer just to play this game, when we played this game by turns I died either because I sucked a lot or because my classmates put their hands on the keyboard to make Santa fall. Now I can play this game in peace: )

Santa Claus IS Sinterklaas/Sint Nicolaas. Dutch immigrants brought their holiday to America and thanks to confusion, time and Coca Cola it somehow turned into Santa Claus for American Christmas. Technically the Americans stole our Sint Nicolaas, and the Dutch stole the mutated Santa back. We live in a strange world.

It's actually kind of funny. Saint Nicholas (Sint Nicolaas / Sinterklaas as we call him) and Santa Claus have the same origin. But somehow we Dutch people managed to get both Sint Nicolaas and Santa Claus (or as wel call him, -Kerstman-, translated as -Christmas man-! Presents galore: )
