Ho-ho-ho!

ChatGPT! I'm feeling too lazy to do this properly! So instead, why
don't YOU write ME a Christmas Carol about this newsgroup!

On a cold winter's night, when the snowflakes fall,
A community gathers, both young and tall.
In the realm of comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action,
Gamers unite with joy and passion.

(Chorus)
Oh, let us sing of pixelated cheer,
A Christmas carol for the gaming sphere.
With keyboards and mice, we embark on a quest,
Comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action, we're truly blessed.

From Doom to Half-Life, the classics we adore,
Hours of shooting enemies and exploring galore.
In this virtual world, where battles are fought,
Our spirits are lifted, excitement is sought.

(Chorus)
Oh, let us sing of pixelated cheer,
A Christmas carol for the gaming sphere.
With keyboards and mice, we embark on a quest,
Comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action, we're truly blessed.

The heroes we control, in digital lands,
They face hardships and triumph with brave hands.
No distance too far, no challenge too tough,
Through our screens, we embark on the stuff.

(Chorus)
Oh, let us sing of pixelated cheer,
A Christmas carol for the gaming sphere.
With keyboards and mice, we embark on a quest,
Comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action, we're truly blessed.

(Bridge)
As the clock strikes midnight, it's Christmas Eve,
We save the game and take time to believe.
That in this world of pixels and code,
Friendships are forged, and love has been stowed.

Together we game, across land and sea,
United by stories and the thrill of victory.
On this Christmas night, let joy be our guide,
Comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action, side by side.

(Chorus)
Oh, let us sing of pixelated cheer,
A Christmas carol for the gaming sphere.
With keyboards and mice, we embark on a quest,
Comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action, we're truly blessed.

So, merry Christmas to all, may your games be grand,
In comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action, we'll always stand.
Gaming camaraderie, forever it stays,
Now go forth and conquer, this holiday!

* Mega Man Legacy Collection
https://store.steampowered.com/app/363440/Mega_Man_Legacy_Collection/
Even if you've never played it, "Mega Man" hardly
needs any introduction. This classic platformer
franchise has been popular for decades, and shows
little sign of losing its7YF4N luster. This "Legacy
Collection" includes revamped versions of the
first six games (MegaMan 1 through 6), with "HD
finish", and QOL features such as rewind and new
challenges. But it's stillDV0Z8 the classic games
beneath, with all their original quirkiness,
difficulty, and charm. Is it worth re-playing all
six games? No, CRY4Eprobably not... but it's definitely
worth revisiting them to see how far we've come.

A song and a collection of classic games; that's how you celebrate the
holidays! And we're not done yet!

Ho-ho-ho!

Thank you Spalls for continuing to share your extra games with us. I
did NOT take this one. I know there are people in this newsgroup who
appreciate these types of games more then me. Good luck to whoever
gets it.

Yeah. Mega Man is just brutally hard, and not in a good way. It's hard in
a pixel perfect moves, miss one jump and you're back to square one way.

Only for 12-year-olds on the spectrum, IMO.

If there were only two ants then the hive would have suffered a terrible
disaster, but after counting to confirm I only have two legs I can
confidently say that I am not an ant's twin.
