Mind you, last year&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=A9l8eJbs3us\">Christmas level update<\/a> for <strong>Astro Bot<\/strong> sure does come a close second.\n<\/p>\n<p>Sega threw Chrissy NiGHTS in with my purchase of a select Sega Saturn game, and it was basically a little advent calendar whose content shifted in sync with my console&#8217;s internal clock. Beating a level (reskinned in a wintry and\/or outright Christmas theme) earned you limited chances to solve a tile-matching puzzle to unlock 25 &#8220;Presents.&#8221; The best of the bunch? A mini-sandbox level starring Sonic the Hedgehog that ends with a satisfying Eggman scrambling. I adore this demo disc and replay it every year without fail.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"slideshow\" data-slug=\"happy-bday-christmas-nights\" data-value=\"happy-bday-christmas-nights\"
