Description

A Freaky Fake Xmas Trees truck is going about it's deliveries. Suddenly, one of Santa's elves opens the rear doors and pushes crates out the back. The artificial trees have mutated and are sucking the spirit out of Christmas. You've got to stop them!

Attack of the Mutant Artificial Trees is a Whack-A-Mole-like game. When a mutant tree pops up from behind or within a crate, you place your mouse cursor on it and press the button to throw a snowball to kill it. Each tree you smack nets you two-hundred points. If you get all the trees in a round, you get a five-thousand point bonus. Be careful not to hit Santa's helper, if he pops up. Each round lasts thirty seconds.

At the bottom of the screen, you have your Xmas Spirit Meter, represented by twelve Christmas lights. Each time a tree gets away or you hit an elf, you lose a light. When all lights are out, the game is over.
