Bowled over with Snowed Under!
"So I pre-ordered "Snowed Under" back in October/November 2021 looking for something to play over the Christmas period on my ZX Spectrums. As a buyer, I was included in the beta releases and had my first go at the game under emulation during that period and provided some feedback at the time. I was happy to see the game released in time for Christmas and a week or so before Christmas, my tape arrived through the post which was a bonus as we were advised this might not happen. The game comes in a standard Cassette, inlay and case. Inlay design was a little disappointing as most of the text was dark blue on black and very difficult to read with first taking a photo on your phone and zooming in (you could use a Magnifying class of course!!!) . The game is great though. A typical platformer with 25 levels (each day of advent) and a different object presented in your calendar on completion of each level. For most ZX Spectrum veterans like myself, you will find completion of all 25 levels fairly easy with a bit of care. I think this is intentional however as the game is aim for a Christmas break and it's about exploring the levels over a few days of Christmas week rather than a 3-month endeavour. My kids however (aged just-10 and nearly-12) could manage up to level 8 or so (on real hardware) which is admirable and the game has provided a good few hours entertainment over the last few days - including introducing them to tape loading etc. Great game. Well worth the money!" Chris Walsh - 01 January 2022

A charity Christmas release in support of CRISIS at Christmas,
from Allan Turvey & Andy Johns.
It's November 30th, and young Tim has made a terrible mistake. Tricked into opening a window on his advent calendar a day early by Santa's evil brother, Krampus, he triggers an extra-dimensional portal and is pulled inside. He now finds himself trapped in a Christmas nightmare. His only hope of escape is to make his way through each day of the calendar, collecting the stars that will unlock the window that leads to the next one. If he can reach December 25th and unlock it, he will be free of the spell, and his Christmas will be saved. However, he is not alone - the Krampus minions are determined to freeze him out, and if they succeed, Tim will find himself Snowed Under, destined to become one of them forever. So grab that snowball Tim, you have 25 days to save!
