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 there's a short looping ingame tune if pressing F1. By default it's 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.")

Great use of Amiga 500s 32 colors (can have more, but 32 is standard) and a few 880K floppy disks. Just like the Dragons Lair ones. Sure, nothing like the arcade of course LOL, but still good for what it is.
I didnt read the whole manual, so dunno if its mentioned there, but probably. The computer during the auto-play mode got higher score than me, so I assume the closer to the last moment you press, the more score you get. I just pressed whenever I could sometimes super early.
03:16 - Deaths (hopefully I didnt miss any)
04:29 - Heres another thing I decided to include as it doesnt contain all the beeps. The game can auto-play by itself if you press P to pause gameplay as Borf is attacking Dexter. Type dodemodexter on the menu part and start the game. Might need an enter press after typing it, forgot.")

A pretty decent text adventure game with pictures. Atmospheric graphics and sound, nice and smooth text parser. Nice touch with the Amiga stuff at the end.
6.5 out of 10 claws.")
