LGR - Rudolph's Magical Sleigh Ride - PC Game Review
video description
My parents made their own variations of what Santa did and said he went through the door, ate the cookies, and put the presents down. So he's quite a slob in my parents' far more modernized versions of the stories. He also goes to the stores and buys the presents at those places and my grandma is one of his helpers. Somehow, I never questioned this until I got older.
My nephew, sadly, is getting the old school stuff that seems less plausible than a jolly fat guy breaking in through the door and buying everything at Wal-Mart. Santa also gets money donated to him by parents, who are also his helpers. My parents are kind of masters at making this seem plausible.
They really should remake the Santa stories and mention he breaks in through the door with magic door opening powers, now that I think about it. And, I think I've been inspired to do this now.

How hard is it to add a simple TIMER based limiter function? That just smacks of laziness when a machine that's too fast can't run the game properly: D
Basically, you sample the timer, and then count the frame refreshed until another specified point. If that point is OVER X frames per second, then you add delay based on a product of that number to get to a proper framerate. if it is under, it removes delay, and eventually settles in on the right FPS. Nowadays we can literally just use various limiter functions that do this automatically, by telling the main program loop to only run X times per second.

Not gonna lie, I have a lot of nostalgia for this game. I saw the movie when I was about three or four and absolutely loved it. I even had an official tie-in plush Rudolph whose nose would light up and sing the song. So of course my parents got me the game, too. The funny thing is I could never beat it, so I spent most my time using the print shop to create elaborate Rudolph-themed comics and I think that was utimately more enjoyable.

I actually love the animated musical as a kid and I still do. Probably because it's really freaky for nostalgic to me, as I watched it during Christmas (yes, I'm not religious, but I'm going to say Christmas anyway, so deal with it.
Although, I've never heard about the game. Probably because I didn't play games until I was 9-10 years old. I was born in 1995.

The box reminds me of a old VHS copy of -Shocker- I used to have, it featured a convict strapped in to an electric chair, being executed. The front was raised a little bit and where the eyes were supposed to be were tiny little yellow lights that flashed on and off. I bought it from a old video store we used to have in the area.

I never really got into PC games as a kid, since all we could afford were board games, but I did eventually save up for a SNES when they were about two years old and I enjoyed them to no end. Never got anything Christmas related on the system, but I did buy myself some games for Christmas a few times for the SNES!

hahaha lol my younger cousins had this game at their house and I think my grandpa had it too, on his computer, for the kids to play. Can't remember the last time I played it. I remember the bees and the oils. My favorite part were the random thunderstorms when Santa delivered the toys.

When i was a lad I had a book that had a little light up led on it. It may have been a Rudolph book, actually. I also had a couple books with a button on them that you pressed and it played. a sound. Music, probably. I don't remember. Pretty neat, though.

Holy hell, I totally forgot about this game! I used to play it back in the day when I had a very. limited. selection of games, but I loved every second of playing it anyway. Now I'll look for this game somewhere on the internet and experience some nostalgia.

Haha, wow. Based on the intro of the game I assumed it was going to be a point 'n click adventure in the style of the Sierra classics of the era. That could have been decent, but instead it's a compilation of weak mini games. That's kind of lame.
