The same can't be said of video games however, and those that DO exist are all too often absolute disasters. From movie tie-ins like The Grinch and Elf: The Movie to Worst Games Ever classics like Santa Claus Saves The Earth and Daze Before Christmas, here are the 10 Worst Christmas Video Games Of All Time!

That is why Elf Bowling is on the list. It was fine for a flash game but expect better for Nintendo's hardware.

It was a decent few flash games and the third one was... alright as a low budget low effort 3d sequel for the pc but... they milked it so hard.

This whole video I was crossing my fingers you guys would include Elf Bowling. I first heard about it in college on a Top 10 Worst Video Games of All Time List from Cracked, and then I happened to work for the studio that made the game lol. When I asked how that travesty happened, one of the artists laughed and said it was handed to them at the last minute by another studio with only six weeks to get it out the door, but admitted that the premise of making it in the first place was a mistake.

There were quite a few Doom ripoffs back in the day. There was a chex game and a Christian game company called Wisdom Tree made an FPS version of Noah's Ark. That's right. There was once a Christian game company that made Bible themed video games. They branded themselves as Christians to avoid legal trouble because their games weren't exactly licensed by Nintendo.

Santa *_Clause_* is supposed to be a pun, as a clause is "a particular and separate article, stipulation, or proviso in a treaty, bill, or contract" [Oxford Dictionary], with the title referring to the part of the previous Santa's business card (written in microscopic print, so this series predicted video game EULA's) that whomever puts on his coat becomes the new Santa.

@cheapshotninja 2 года назад

Funny, I was just thinking yesterday how much I'd like to play that Grinch game. It's not good and I didn't particularly enjoy it when I played it, but it would really scratch a certain nostalgic itch.

@juliaboon9741 2 года назад

We only had three games for the PS1 back in the day and one of them was The Grinch. We played it over and over again. I have such great memories of it but parts were frustrating but that kind of went with the territory I guess. We went out of our way to get it back a few years ago and I'm proud to own a copy today! It's nostalgia fuel.

Kinda interesting to see the Grinch on this list. I probably shouldn't be too surprised, it didn't exactly earn crazy scores either at the time, nore now. It's definingly not the worst game ever made though. I would ultimately say it has a place here, but am also glad it's the least of the naughty set.

@JojenReed 2 года назад

Holy shit! I played Elf Bowling on PC like mad as a wee lad, must have been in 1998! My grandparents had it for some reason hahaha 😅 when you missed, sometimes the elves would turn around and moon you, and slap their buttcheeks and say, "Who's your daddy?" And no I'm not joking. I remember it vividly, my poor 6 year old mind

@MoltoRubato88 2 года назад

I am surprised that none of the Home Alone games made it on this list, which are notoriously bad. I am equally surprised that the movie license game based on TOYS (that weird 90s film with Robin Williams) also didn't rank. I had a copy of that game, and it was really frustrating. You end up going around the ZEVO toy factory and destroying weapons with toys that have little to no impact (except for a "Peanut Gun"). The game also changes perspective when players also have to take out elephant-shaped security cameras with a water gun before getting zapped by lasers.

There are also Santa Claus 1 dvd games where you need to get past obstacles using erro keys and answer questions and then after you win you get the prize of watching a little 5 minute Christmas cartoon and then the 2nd Santa Claus you have these missions you need to get by and then last level you have to memorize the colors of which you see I was never able to memorize them all

I knew Elf Bowling was gonna top the list, but I was surprised to see The Grinch on this list. Pretty sure being made by pre-pachinko obsession Konami saved it from being worse. It was probably just a little throwaway side project they did to get some extra cash to finish development on Metal Gear Solid 2, but it's one of my favorite platformers for the PS1. The mistake most people make is expecting it to be like the movie.

Jim Carrey the Grinch is not a classic. It’s just that people of a certain age grew up on it and therefore because of nostalgia they think it is one. It’s a terrible movie purple
