Give me examples of video games that add extra content depending on the date you play them as. I have only played two games that do this (well 2 that I accidently figured out that have this at least) and it intrigued me greatly.Those games are Cave Story and Simpsons Road Rage.

Now that Christmas is almost here (well it's on 7th of January where I live) I think it's prime time to discuss this.
>>
The extra content I mentioned can be anything, even just little things as new skins and sprites for characters.
>>
CoC, Animal Crossing, I honestly can't remember any more off the top of my head
Inb4 fucking furry game
>>
Not only Road Rage, but Simpson's Hit & Run had special menus in Xmas, Thanksgiving, and Halloween
>>
Terraria

>CoC
You're probably not talking about Call of Cthulhu, but that's the only CoC I know of.

Heh, Call of Cthulhu Christmas mode would be amusing.
>>
one of the PS2 ninja turtles games based off of the 03 show had the turtles put on Christmas hats at that time of year

Corruption of Champions.

Furry porn game.

Pokemon congratulate you on your Birthday. And 4th gen had some special weather effect on some special date. Fuck it, I forgot.

>fire up coc on thanksgiving day so I can best my dick because no gf
>sleeping at camp, turkey lady shows up to fuck me

Well then
>>
Not a holiday really, but a certain character in Undertale is locked away if your computer's clock isn't on a specific day in any year.

>>319763051
Corruption of Champions, interactive text game that would have screamed /d/ if it weren't for the fact that the game got incredibly furry as development continued.

>>319763157
Diamond Dust in the northen snowy part of DPP was the special weather effect, I believe it's activated on Masuda's birthday or something. Not sure if it applies to HGSS.
>>
I just remembered that loads of online games have stuff like this, especially MMOs, WoW has big events for several holidays, Killing Floor reskins all the enemies and sometimes adds new maps.
>>
TF2 has had winter updates for the past 5 years. However no word on if they're doing anything this year.
>>
Borderlands 2 has a Crimbo DLC, but DLCs don't really count.
>>
Nintendogs I think would give special gifts during dog walks on Christmas.
>>
Sonic Adventure 2 had christmas stuff.

You guys remember free Christmas versions of games from the 90s? They would be like festive demos made to promote the game in question.

Image sorta related, I don't think this was free
>>
I remember Lego Loco would have Christmas-themed buildings and snow if you played it in December. There was some other seasonal stuff but I don't remember it exactly.

I remember Jazz Jackrabbit: Holiday Hare. I don't think I even owned the base game.
>>
>>319768742
shame really, I played all of the Jazz Jackrabbit campaigns and that one was by far the worst in level design.
>>
>>319768815
As if 9-year-old me could tell if level design was bad!

In November and January it's just a "winter" nights, and during the rest of the year it's basically just a demo of the normal game (though it has a mode where you play as reala on april fools day) but in december Christmas Nights is, well, christmas themed.

It actually isn't hard to play the game without interacting with furry characters and shit, just don't eat stuff like "whisker fruit" or "canine peppers" because it is obviously furry shot

FUCKING DISGUSTING

I've never actually seen it, but I heard the Japanese demo version or something like that of Jet Set Radio had some Christmas stuff.

That console version of You Don't Know Jack. Cookie Masterson would mention something humorous about the holiday before you start the round. I can't find a clip of it, but I know it's there.
