The Grinch on the Sega Dreamcast was developed by Artificial Mind & Movement and published by Konami in 2000 – to coincide with the film “How The Grinch Stole Christmas“, starring Jim Carrey, which was released the same year.

Santa Claus Saves The Earth, Game Boy Advance
Created by Lithuanian developer Ivolgamus and released for the PlayStation and Game Boy Advance by Telegames in 2002, Santa Claus Saves The Earth is a Christmas-themed platform game that plays better than it looks.

Ghosts ‘N Goblins, PC
The 1987 PC MS-DOS version of Ghosts ‘N Goblins, I’m sorry to say, is a bit of a travesty. It looks terrible, and also plays like a lame duck. In fact, unless you can get the game set up properly in DOSBox (which took me some time to do), then it’s pretty much unplayable*.
Ghosts ‘N Goblins, Amstrad CPC
The Amstrad CPC version of Ghosts ‘N Goblins was developed and published by Elite Systems in 1986, and it looks pretty rough, and seems to be missing a good chunk of the original game.
Rainbow Islands, Commodore 64
The Commodore 64 port of Taito‘s classic Rainbow Islands was developed by Graftgold and first released by Ocean Software in 1990, and – gosh-darn it – it is a fantastic port of the arcade game!
Ghosts ‘N Goblins, Amiga
It has to be said that the Amiga port of Capcom‘s classic Ghosts ‘N Goblins is a damn sight better than the Atari ST version, or any of the other conversions from the 16-bit era. It was developed and published by Elite Systems in 1990 and is as close to the arcade parent as is possible on the Amiga.
Ghosts ‘N Goblins, Atari ST
The Atari ST version of Ghosts ‘N Goblins was programmed by Michael Delves, with graphics by Zippo Games, and was published by Elite Systems in 1990. It is a somewhat ‘funky’ port, with cartoony graphics and gameplay that is easier than the arcade parent.
Ghosts ‘N Goblins, Game Boy Color
The Game Boy Color version of Ghosts ‘N Goblins was developed by Digital Eclipse Software and is very similar to – if not a direct port of – the NES/Famicom version. It was first released in 1999 by Capcom, and it looks like it might only have been released in North America.
Croc 2, PlayStation
First released for the Sony PlayStation in 1999, and is the sequel to the smash hit Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, Croc 2 is a 3D platform game developed by Argonaut Software and published by Fox Interactive.
