TOM Productions was a German shareware development team consisting of Christian Männchen (graphics and sound) and Andreas Tofahrn (programming and documentation).
The team was active from 1987 to 1996 and released 8 games in total, most popular among them the Game of ROBOT series of action puzzle games that were among the most popular German shareware games in the late 1980s to early 90s. Distributor Boeder Software nominated the original Game of ROBOT for its Game of the Year 1990 award, and awarded Tofahrn and Männchen the title of Public Domain Authors of the Year 1990 (despite their games not having been released into the public domain).
While 1994's FlipOut was the last game developed by TOM Productions, Andreas Tofahrn kept maintaining the official website, produced Windows ports, and, as of December 2016, registration codes for all TOM games can still be purchased.

Description
Nicolausi is an action and adventure game, designed to bring a little Christmas cheer into our dull lives at all times of the year.
The game was released worldwide in 1995 on the DOS platform.
The player assumes the role of Santa Claus, who has unfortunately lost his notes on the delivery of Christmas presents. He now has
a bunch of presents, but no clue which present goes to which house. To make matters worse, there is an Easter Bunny roaming the streets.
This Easter bunny is hell-bent on ruining the Christmas spirit by playing loud music and just waiting for his confrontation with Santa.
Once he encounters Santa, the Easter Bunny will beat him up, and shove him inside an easter egg, thus ending the level. Apart from
avoiding the Easter Bunny, Santa must deliver all the presents to the right houses. The hard part is, there is no way to tell which
house gets which present before delivering it. Once a present is delivered to the doorstep, if it is the correct house, the present
will get picked up by the occupants and a wreath would be put on the front door. If not, the occupants would rudely shut the door and
the snow from the roof would fall to the ground thus blocking the entrance for some time. To complete the level, Santa must successfully
deliver all the packages to the correct houses. The player must keep a note of all the wrong presents so they can be sent to their
correct recipients. Points are awarded for each correct present delivered. On his encounter with the Easter bunny, Santa can throw
snowballs at him which will significantly slow him down.
