Christmas'98 is the sixth annual release of Ingemar Ragnemalm's editable jigsaw puzzle and Christmas card game for the Macintosh. The 1998 edition is freeware, ships as the application alone, and runs on any Mac, with QuickTime recommended so the bundled image displays correctly.
Annual Tradition
Ragnemalm started the series in 1993 with what he believes was the first colour jigsaw on the Mac, predating Apple's own puzzle. Each December he ships a fresh edition; 1998 is largely the same engine as previous years dressed in new graphics.
Customise and Pass It On
Players are explicitly encouraged to swap in their own art, puzzle piece shapes, background patterns and music, then pass the result to friends as a personalised holiday card. The on-line documentation spells out the (lightweight) terms.
Sample Files
The Info-Mac upload contains only the application. A larger package of sample art and music for editing was kept off the archive due to its size and was offered separately from www.lysator.liu.se/~ingemar/games.html.
Archive Provenance
This entry corresponds to info-mac/game/christmas-98.hqx. The 1997 edition (Christmas'97) is catalogued separately and uses the same author's earlier jigsaw engine.
