Do They Know it's Christmas? Do they Frickin' know it's Christmas?! I certainly do, I've heard the song enough bloody times.

Available for both Commodore 64 and Sinclair Spectrum, the premise was to make a compilation of games, sell it for each system and pass the proceeds to charity. Want to know more?
