I like the original Intellivision-like box. The evil snowmen remind me of Snowmageddon!

That makes two of us! I also found out they may be selling some more boxed copies of Space Patrol for the Intellivision. Something else to watch closely.

Just wanted to offer a brief update. This game will be released next month. They found a glitch in the version sold during CGE that they've had to fix and has delayed the launch.

I received this game a couple of week ago. I haven't played it yet, so I can't report on the gameplay yet. The packaging, however, is superb. One would have a difficult time telling that this was a homebrew release from looking at the box.

Hello all! I'm "DZ," the programmer of the Christmas Carol game. I just discovered this forum and joined (I have a Vectrex as well). I wanted to make a couple of points about my game: - The Evil Snowman game concept was inspired by the "pterodactyl" in Joust, that comes in when you take too long to finish a level and attacks you incessantly.
- The Evil Snowman artwork itself was inspired by the snowman sculptures that Calvin makes in the excellent comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes."
- The game is a lot of fun, inspired by maze-style games from the 1980s like Pac-Man. (Well, specifically Pac-Man.)
- We are starting a new Christmas Season competition, and with that are giving the ROM away for free. (YES! FREE!) It's the same ROM used in the game, not a "demo" or watered-down version.
I hope you guys enjoy the game, I think it's very good. You can visit the official web page here: www.CarolVsGhost.com/Thanks for the interest! -dZ.

Welcome to the forum, DZ! Your work on the game looks fantastic, and it's very generous for you to make the ROM downloadable. I'm looking forward to hearing the reviews!
