Christmas is on the way! It’s time to adorn the tree with
dazzling lights, bust out the obligatory TV specials, and gobble festive treats
faster than the chef in your family can put them down. More importantly, it’s a
precious opportunity to ditch your routine and bask in the company of those you
hold dearest.
There might not be snow banks to leap into depending on your
geographic coordinates, but video games under a blanket can provide fun with
100 per cent less mess (barring severe eggnog mishaps). It wouldn’t be
Christmas at DDNet without our requisite list of games to keep you warm and
cozy for the holidays. Each day until Christmas, we’ll highlight a title that’s
perfect for passing the time, bonding with friends, or stuffing in your buddy’s
stocking.
Join us on this 24 day adventure as we count down to the
most wonderful time of the year. Merry Christmas!
Game #16: SEGA Mega Drive Classics Collection
A compilation of 50+ games in a list of 24 might be
cheating a little, but you’ll doubtlessly find a sleigh load of Christmas
treasures here. Co-op Gunstar Heroes alone has enough co-op multiplayer
shenanigans to keep two pals entertained until Christmas morn. Puzzle game Dr.
Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine was a title I’d pull out around Christmas Eve and it
managed to suck in everyone in the room as we took turns competing for chocolaty
treats. When your friends and family go home, you can snuggle under a blanket
and get lost in the many JRPG worlds of Phantasy Star. In any case, the sheer
novelty of so many retro games of different genres to swap between will keep anyone in the room engaged for hours.
