December 2: Christmas Poem
Twas the night before launch, and all through the shop,
Not a fan was left waiting, not even a stop.
The shelves were all stocked with such care and delight,
In hopes that new games would arrive on that night.
The team at Strictly Limited, busy and bright,
Were working so hard, bringing joy to the light.
With Limited Editions and Collectors galore,
Exciting new treasures for fans to adore.
The fans were all buzzing, eager to play,
As pre-orders arrived, just as we'd hoped they would stay.
The community cheered, their voices so strong,
As the new releases kept coming along.
With excitement abounding, the team moved with glee,
Shipping out orders, as happy as can be.
New projects were launched, all shiny and new,
With games full of magic and stories to pursue.
The holidays came, and with it the cheer,
For Strictly Limited’s promise was crystal clear:
To bring joy with editions so special and bright,
Making collectors’ hearts soar with pure delight.
They worked through the season, the joy never ceased,
Delivering wonders from west to the east.
For their love of games, and all things unique,
Is what makes them stand out, so rare and so sleek.
So this holiday season, as packages arrive,
Know Strictly Limited is here, keeping dreams alive.
With each new release and each thoughtful design,
They’re making memories that stand the test of time.
December 3: Nick and David D's SLG Favorites
David's Pick: Clockwork Aquario
"Choosing between Clockwork Aquario and Drainus was tough—two amazing games from different genres! But Clockwork Aquario wins for me. Professionally, I love the story behind its creation and Strictly Limited's role in reviving it. Personally, playing it with my son was such a joy—we had so much fun together!"
Nick's Pick: Ultracore
"The story of Ultracore's comeback is why it’s my favorite. Once a forgotten relic lost to time, Ultracore was nearly left unfinished as 3D gaming rose in popularity. Strictly Limited’s dedication to preserving gaming history gave it a second life, collaborating with industry veterans to finally bring this hidden gem to players. It’s incredible to see its legacy continue!"
December 4: Ric Ornament
Today, Ric joins your Christmas tree! Download our DIY Ornament PDF, print, cut, and hang Strictly Limited's Ric on your tree to celebrate the season with us. Take some photos of your Ric Christmas Tree and share it with us!

December 16: Sascha and David L's SLG Favorites
Today, Sascha and David L. share their favorite Strictly Limited releases!
Sascha: Jet Kave Adventure! Love how it combines classic side-scrolling action with that out-of-this-world twist on the Stone Age. I mean, come on—it's a caveman with a jetpack! A quirky story that keeps you smiling, a fun mix of platforming challenges and boss fights, all tied together with gorgeous, colorful visuals.
David L.: As a big Strider fan, Cannon Dancer immediately stands out as my favorite SLG release because it’s an evolution of everything Strider was. Its stunning pixel art, fluid animations, and fast-paced gameplay perfectly capture the 16-bit era of the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and the Super Nintendo, which I hold so near and dear to my heart. If you love Strider, go play Cannon Dancer!
