    If it was 1990 and I was running Windows 3.1 this would be a cool program, but it's 2001 and running this on Windows XP seems a bit cheesy. Sorry guys, it just looks outdated.

    Holiday Lights 5.2 - Navidad en Mejico (Christmas in Mexico) is the latest in a long line of Holiday Lights titles. So what new does this have to offer? Well, it's intuative "pick up and play" system means you'll have the lights running in 5 seconds, compared with the sluggish 8 seconds on previous versions. A lot of work has gone into ironing out the snowman problems that had users of 4.3 cursing and the finished result is polished and realistic. The chillis are a welcome addition to the gameplay and the realm of options (flashing or not flashing, random or sequenced) should keep you entertained a good three minutes after downloading it. The only question left is - how much further can the developers take this ageing franchise. I guess we'll find out next year.
