Project SANTAThis game wasted a good two hours at work yesterday. It's a flash game, but with 70's gaming appeal. I played it so much I finally found the easter egg, supposedly the site of its "creator." It's on level three, click the moon. A Christmas game with an Easter egg, I dunno.

If you like that game, you'll love Atari's Lunar Lander arcade game from 1979, which the play control for Project Santa was lifted from (which was in turn inspired by 1973's Moonlander for the DEC GT40). Play a simulation online, or download the real thing and play it with MAME.

I loved that game, it was a great sendup of Defender (place to download the ROM after you have MAME installed).
