STIL comment"We had this coin op in the office at Elite and we spent many an hour 'researching' it. The music however used many channels and didn't have a particularly catchy theme so I did an original composition. The tune is a bit on the weird side but I thought that it went quite well with the fairly slow pace of the cycling round the streets bit of the game. On the coin op there were a number of speech samples and some of these were put into the Amiga version of the game which did have the original music." (MC)

knotti:
Toll gemacht haette nur noch etwas länger ausfallen können 😊 Very nice
Melaure:
Nice and good in december!
nicodaemus:
Nice. One question: this santa of yours, does he do wrestling or build motorbikes when he's not busy on the north pole? And he must be suffering from chronic back-pains since his ho ho ho sounds very forced.: P Good one, though.
Metal:
Nice and cute - almost too cute, but nice.
NecroPolo:
Haha, nice 😊 Not exactly my kind of stuff but kudos for the idea behind - and have a merry X-mas, too! 😊 Absolutely it's among your better releases.
bizarro:
This was one of my favourite melodies on the c64. Thank you for this interpretation! (There are two harmony-errors in the remix though…)
C64ever:
A nice slower version of paperboy, works well!
Mordi:
Outstanding intro. Nice and cozy mix. A very christmas-y tune!😃
omoroca:
I assume this tune is meant to be funny. But I find it too cheesy. Technically Ok, though!
komet:
I like the christmas theme, and the melody is as emotional as in the original. What I don't really care for is that the chord changes seem to jumpy.
condor:
Heh, I like it really, but it's not everyday listen material.
vurtx:
Its like a well made Christmas Pudding - its got all the right ingredients 😊 the pads seem too loud to me, but everything else is excellent.
