Summer Santa

Summer Santa is a 1986 platform game developed by John Hopper and published by Alpha-Omega Software exclusively for the ZX Spectrum.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) False advertising: despite the title and cover art, the game has nothing to do with summer.
 * 2) The game is a bad Jet Set Willy clone. All you do is deliver toys from your grotto to a house.
 * 3) Lack of variety, as there are only 7 screens and one house.
 * 4) Santa's hitbox is so big that he dies if a single pixel of his sprite touches a dog or a person.
 * 5) The graphics are horrible, and are prone to corruption. There are also lots of color clashing, with some sprites appearing to glow in the dark.
 * 6) No replay value of any kind due to lack of level variety.

Reception
Summer Santa received generally negative reviews from the various magazines of the time. Crash gave the game a score of 31%, citing it as "well below average, even for a budget game". Your Sinclair gave Summer Santa a score of 4 out of 10.
