Christmas in May! Christmas all year round! "Down The Chimney" puts you in the Santa seat for like 30 seconds. This is perhaps the shortest game of all time, when you complete it, that's it it's over. There are two skill levels fast and slow, all you can do is play fast after slow or slow after fast. You are Santa, and you have to navigate down a sort of twisty chimney without hitting the sides. Yes, that is all, and yes, only two levels of play. So, no, it's not a crazy good or even a good game, but it has a lot of heart, and it is Christmas (in the game). I find this game hilarious on so many levels that I played it like forty times already. My very favorite parts are the short intro where Santa jumps into the chimney, and the end (if you finish) where a totally tiny Santa exits the fireplace and goes over to the awesome 8 bit tree. If you play this game make sure to play both levels, "Slow" is painfully slow, and "Fast" is painfully slow. According to the Gambase 64 this game was created by The Compucats. No further explanation is offered about this enigmatic group The Compucats, so I'm left to wonder and imagine who they might have been... Are they still around? Will they make a new Chimney game? Let me know if you know, and play this game because it's funny.
