Introduction
It's Christmas Eve, and Santa has flown into a severe weather system. The high winds have scattered his presents all over a small island, and now it's your job to help him find them all so he can get back to doing his job and save Christmas.
Explore Felliblanch Island, and search for the 80 Christmas Presents. Avoid the evil snowmen, and look out for Jack Frost - he's the smartest enemy of them all.
The game ends when you have found all of the scattered presents.

FAQs
Q: When was Christmas Gift Hunt written?
A: Autumn to Winter 2015.
Q: Who is Stephen Nichol?
A: A kid who got a ZX Spectrum + 48k in 1992,
which may not have been the best timing
ever given the collapse of the 8-bit industry,
that was by then in progress but, he didn't mind
too much as his first system was a wood panelled
console and didn't have a keyboard to program
with.
Q: Have I seen this game anywhere before?
A: From the start this has fully been intended to
be a new title, despite the vintage of the 8-bit
computers it is intended to run on.
Q: Which version of AGD was used to make Christmas Gift Hunt?
A: Version 4.6. It's quite stable and AGD and the
extra features of AGD 4.6 were appealing.
Q. What is different about the ULA Plus version
when compared to the standard ZX version?
A. The ULA Plus version uses a clever technique
developed by the ZX Spectrum community to
give more colours than were on the original
Spectrum hardware - up to 64 colours in total.
Q. I'm stuck, are there any cheats?
A. There are no built in cheats to find, sorry.
Someone might well find a POKE some day.
Q. Seeing as how Jonathan Cauldwell wrote AGD, any
favourite games by the man himself?
A. Haunted House - it was on one of the 1992 Your
Sinclair covertapes and the graphics were lush.
Also Albatrossity - it was the first game I ever
completed every level of on the ZX Spectrum
without pokes or a walkthrough.
