My wife asked if there are any other Christmas themed NES games and I couldn't think of any. Interesting premise and I liked the theme to this. I did run out of gumdrops but was playing with save states so managed to backtrack.

Thanks for giving the game a try! I am glad to hear that you like the theme. Much like your wife, I too had wondered if there were any other Christmas themed NES games. I did some research and could not really find any, so decided to see if I could make one myself.
The enemies should drop gumdrops often enough to replenish your supply. Did you find the staff?
