Christmas Crisis (CD-i)

If we had a nickel for every time the CD-i had a Christmas-themed, DVC-requiring platformer, we'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

To do: secret1.rtf to secret9.rtf are the game's hidden bonus levels. However, the box-art only mentions eight out of the nine levels; see if one of them is unused or not. There is also credits2.rtf, a copy of the credits with the developers' nicknames and an earlier game name ("The X-Mas Files", used as the disc's title in the prototype). Speaking of, cover the September 25, 1995 prototype.

Cheat Mode and Level Skip#

Enter the password 25, 20, 21, 21, 20, 20 on the main menu. While there's no audiovisual indication of its activation, starting a new game will give Santa infinite lives and ammo, as well as make him invincible. These can be toggled through a now-unlocked cheat menu, which is accessed by clicking Santa's face on the main menu.

In addition, the code also activates a standalone level skip: Pausing the game and pressing Button 2 will instantly complete the level the player is in, and move on to the next one.
