Christmas Card 1992 is the name to which Sierra's fourth Christmas Card program is most commonly referred. Like the other christmas cards, it was distributed to stores by Sierra and was intended to showcase the color and sound capabilities of the computer for sale, as well as showcase the capabilities of Sierra's SCI engine.
This card was intended to show off the animation capabilities of the SCI engine, as well as it's color capabilities. It returns to Sierra's Christmas card roots of showing animated Christmas scenery while Christmas music plays in the background.

For more information on how ScummVM uses game data files, see the user documentation.
WARNING: Unlike other games, SCI games have significant variation in the naming of required files.
They also can load supplementary files by resource maps, so it is recommended to keep all files in the game data directory from the CD.
Unless otherwise specified, do NOT remove any file from the directory, even if it does not appear on the following list, since this will likely cause weird bugs.
Copy all files to the game directory. Some games need additional work:
Floppy games with RESOURCE.p01, p02, etc. and/or RESOURCE.a01, a02, etc. files
- Concatenate all RESOURCE.p0* files to RESOURCE.000 (e.g.
copy /b RESOURCE.p0* RESOURCE.000on Windows, orcat RESOURCE.p0* > RESOURCE.000on *nix). - Concatenate all RESOURCE.a0* files to RESOURCE.AUD (e.g.
copy /b RESOURCE.a0* RESOURCE.AUDon Windows, orcat RESOURCE.a0* > RESOURCE.AUDon *nix).
