Only German and French versions exist (AFAIK), no English one. Did the German version prior to this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgyrQ7BA4qI).
00:22 -
Who do you want to be?
- A turtle
- A rabbit
- A bird
I chose the turtle speed as its the more natural/realistic movement speed. In the German version I picked the bird, which was very fast. I didnt know at first these were the game speeds, or I would have picked turtle in that version as well
00:30 - Once upon a time in London...
00:37 - Weird he says one of the things twice. I dont know French, so maybe its supposed to be like that.
01:26 - Its always in the middle drawer, but clicked on all other things first that had a reaction.
03:23 - They can be clicked on in any order.
05:93 - This loops 6 times for some reason (wasnt loading). Was thinking of editing out 4 of them or something, but kept it as maybe it has some sort of significance to the movie. I know Hook is afraid of clocks, maybe 6 oclock is extra bad or something, dunno.
Losing all lives on any level just resets it so you get all lives back, but only once. Next time you lose all lives, its the same as if you completed them normally, except on the last one (the ship) where the girl is crying instead (same screen as 05:27), then the flying boat and Fin (The End, ofc... or more literally Finished) as normal.
Some screens with the green border/frame has an empty vertical line of pixels on the left side of the screen for some reason. Not a cropping error.
The differences between the German and French versions are the languages (ofc) and the title tunes. Also, the one and only French version I could find had a crack intro thingy and stuff. Couldnt find a clean version like the German one (.ipf, unmodified). The cursor in the French version was a weird looking red arrow, which looks the same in-game as in AmigaDOS, so I replaced it with the one from the German version.")

Just to briefly sum up what the story is about, I found this somewhere, probably accurate and good enough:
The story is a classical mystery setting: two friends go hitchhiking, and since its raining so bad, they rest in a small hotel. One of the two starts to drink till hes totally out of control. He stumbles into the wrong room, gets knocked out and wakes up next to a corpse. Now, you have to prove you didnt do anything.")

Weee! Fun game :)
I didnt plan on uploading this, as I just randomly picked this game to test a new way to do save states, so theres like 3 tiny sound hiccups within the first 3 mins, after that I had the kinks mostly ironed out. As I still had the avi/ss source files, I just went back and finished the rest of the game (was too lazy to play from the start to get rid of the hiccups) and edited/encoded/uploaded it anyway.")

Yeah, nothing special. Decent title tune tho.
The ingame title says X-masTime, but I wrote X-Mas Time instead as it looks better :)
I noticed theres a short looping ingame tune if pressing F1. By default its only sound effects. So, turned on music on level 1, and off for the rest of the levels.
The game seems to only have 7 levels, and repeats from level 1 every 7 levels. Played to level 15 anyway and then killed myself. Yeah, had 3 lives and got game over immediately because I cut the rest of the deaths.")

Back in the day when I was a kid (30+ years ago), this was one of my favorite puzzler games (+ the other two games in the series as well). Was so much fun figuring out how to advance to the next level, and seeing all the ways you can hurt your buddies when you do something wrong. I mostly just went straight from A to B in this playthrough as there would be too many funny fail-animations to show + cant do too many or its game over as you have an energy bar, and some funny fails kills you so its game over immedately. So, if youve not played this game before, I highly recommend doing so, so you can experience all those funny things. But I do not recommend running the Amiga version on a stock Amiga 500 (but with 1mb memory ofc, 512kb/512kb) as most levels ran soooo slow. I first longplayed it on an A500, edited, encoded, all done, but man, so slow, and on an Amiga 1200 sound often didnt play when queued because the 1200 has different speeds/timings. If the 1200 was slowed down, more sounds would play, but not every time. Theres the WHDLoad version, but I always try to avoid doing any longplay with a WHDLoad version of a game as it doesnt like savestates, but had no choice, so redid the longplay with WHDLoad and all in one go without states. Was kinda fun to put my memory to the test :)
Not only do WHDLoad games not like savestates, but it sometimes skip stuff, like images or whatever because it loads too fast, and sometimes things just doesnt... seem right compared to running it off a floppy disk. But whats good about the WHDLoad version of games (besides mainly loading faster and no disk swapping because it runs off a harddrive) is games runs fine on an Amiga 1200, so no timing/speed issues. Thus I could run this game in way faster/smoother speeds as it would run fine on A1200 speeds compared to running it off floppy disks on the same machine/system. This second longplay attempt became 13 mins shorter because of how much faster they were walking and doing things.
I look forward to doing the other two games in the series as well. They are longer and even have music.")
