"Probably the only Amiga LightGun game worth playing!"

Santa's Present Drop 5!

Poor Santa, at the end of part 4 last year, Santa managed to rescue his Elfs(TM) from the Grunch(TM), but on return to the north pole found his work shop overrun with zombie rabbits!

Playing as Santa or his head Elf, you must destroy all rabbit zombies so that toy production can continue.

The latest version now allows you to start the game with the mouse button or light gun trigger. It also includes the AMOS Source Code!

Nice idea. Could you please, compile a version that just starts with a mouseclick…so we could play it on a stock cd32 without a keyboard? Thank you very, very much. Btw. here is your game runnin on a real A500+:

Great game and fun to play, I added it to the video of other Amiga games released in December. Happy New Year!

Hi!

Did you know that there is a disease that I didn't make up called leporiphobia/logophobia?

I like these crazy ideas, but I feel a little bit lacking because of the lack of innocent victims... could it be Santa's elves, who can easily be mistaken for rabbits because of their long ears?

Would it be possible to access the original (24bit) background animation? With respect, but I have the feeling that more detail could be brought out.

hi the game is limited based on an upper Ram limit. I did want more attacking rabbits but they all take up ram.

If I wanted to support 24-bit graphics then it would need a very powerful machine to run, which again isn’t the point. The 32-colour palette is very optimised for both the background and rabbits, and on a CRT looks great

very enjoyable game! Can I somehow shoot the carrots? Feels like not... And how the heck can I plug a light gun?

No you cant shoot the carrots. To use a light gun you need a proper Amiga light gun which connects to the second port.  

Very cool and technically impressive parody of the arcade original. Our German-language review can be found at 04:41:28. English subtitles are also available. Subscribing to our YouTube and Twitch channels is welcome. 🙂

Thanks

very good

thanks

Will it work on the A500mini? I think that accepts hdf, I don't know about hda.

I don’t have one to test but just rename the file, it’s the same thing. Please report back how you get on

I had a go and the mini didn't show the file, even though I had put it into the folder. I did a bit of looking around and it looks like you have to hack the mini to make it run hdf, and I don't quite feel like taking the risk. 

 

Very nice game!

Thank you
