Christmas is here once more and Santa is getting ready to deliver all his presents. The sleigh is waiting and all he needs to do is load up the goodies.
Rudolf has been put out to pasture and the sleigh is now gas-powered. It's a bit of a fuel guzzler so take it easy and keep an eye on the fuel gauge.
The presents have been stolen and scattered throughout a warehouse, so you guide Santa round on his sleigh and pick them all up.
When you have collected all the presents in one room you can move on to the next through the exit at the bottom of the screen.
This is by no means an easy task since many dangers lurk deep within the warehouse.
Watch out for the large spider descending on its thread and dodge the Christmas crackers bouncing up and down.

Yippee! It's Christmas morning and Santa has left lots of presents for you hanging on the tree. But before you can have them you must guess a hidden word.
At the bottom of the screen you'll see a row of dots, one for each letter in the word. Press a letter to make a guess and if you are right it will be entered into the correct position.
However, if you are wrong one of your presents will be taken off the tree.
Can you guess the word or will you lose all your presents? It's up to you.
YULE SPELL is a seasonal variation on that old classic Hangman and is great fun for all the family.
There are about 160 words and I have included as many seasonal ones as I can. You can easily add your own by tagging them on to the end of one of the data statements starting at line 800.
There is a short delay when the program is run as it draws the title page.
Plus 3 users should save the program before running it since it switches off the ADFS and downloads to &E00.

ARM wins hands down over others - at £14.94 it represents amazing value for money.
The AP5 interface opens up the Electron for a whole new type of computing... and you thought you were just getting your Electron mastered!
Thunderstruck is one of the best arcade adventures that I have played on the Electron.
The game may only cost £1.99 but I can't help feeling Mastertronic will receive a few letters of complaint about this one.
Micro Power Magic (Micro Power)
For less than 80 pence per program, this must be the bargain of the year!
Galadriel In Distress (Potter Programs)
Galadriel had the makings of a super little adventure but remains under-developed.
