The Official Father Christmas Game is an OK game where you play as Santa, trying to book it and deliver the presents on time. It's a simple game and the coder was apparently pretty bored while making it.

Note: All the hex addresses seen below are based on the .tzx dump.

Unused Texts

Starting at 8EF2 are some extra names for items not seen in the game.

A Model Plane 
Some Skirt!!
cor mister!

Hidden after the normal location names is this slightly unusual place at 8F97.

Developer Messages

The developer noted how bored they were at 8AC8:

I am bored!!!

Another note of boredom is seen at 8DE8, after the normally seen menu text:

i am still bored!!

Still another is seen at 8F20, after the items text:

i think i'll nip off and shoot me-self....

One final message is seen after all of the rest of the text at 903E:

is this 'game?' really worth hacking?....  
try holding 'x,m,a,s' down on the title page....

If the player holds X, M, A and S together on the controls scheme screen, it stops the jingle on the title screen and the game goes really fast.
