Elf (and Other Christmas) Games
by Mike Durrett

Elf Bowling
It's easy to see how this wacky holiday game became the runaway Internet hit of 1999's Christmas season. NStorm, the creator, made the cartoonish graphics and mechanics top notch, laced with brash touches in the silly scenario of a gang of striking toy factory elves bowled down (strike!) by Santa Claus.

Players are encouraged to freely download personal copies of the game.

The bad news is "Elf Bowling" is not available to play online, nor is there a download version for Mac users. If you have a PC, you're in luck.
