    It's not as polished. I'm pretty sure it's a mobile port, though there don't appear to be microtransactions (I just checked, since you spend coins to unlock new hats, cars, etc, but I don't think you can buy coins with real money—you have to earn them).

     

    As for the partial controller support mentioned earlier, the menus have to be navigated using your mouse, but you can use the controller during each race.

     

    I tried playing the game again on 50 cc, and I did much, much better. On 150 cc, all of the other karts are faster than your base kart, so it's hard to win (or not to come in last, for some of us).

    I have the following up for offer for the price of shipping. Starting from the upper left:

     

    1. Video game tie in question mark block box. I received this in a subscription box, and it turns out I really don't need a tie. If anyone is interested, I can post another pic of what the actual tie looks like. Gone!

     

    2. Castlevania: Rondo of Blood for the PC Engine CD. This is a freebie I got from PCE Works. It is the translated version of this game on a pressed disc (not a CD-R). Gone!

     

    3. VIC-20 Cassette Six Pack. Includes word processing and personal finance software. Who needs Microsoft Word or Quicken when you can do it all on your VIC-20? Gone!

     

    4. Fellowship of the Ring for Xbox. This is not in its original case. It's also not a very good game, from what I remember. Gone!

     

    5. The Legend of Zelda DVD. Includes three classic episodes."Classic" meaning that they're from the '80s—not that they're good. Gone!

     

    6. Assassin's Creed Lineage Blu-ray. If I remember correctly, this tells the story of Ezio's father and leads up to the events of Assassin's Creed II. Not bad. Gone!

     

    7. The Sixth Sense DVD. I see dead people ... and a twist! Gone!

     

    8. Sega Genesis Flashback. I got this in a lot of free items from Grig. The system works (in that it turns on and plays games), as do both controllers, though the controllers do not have battery covers (batteries seem to stay in without them, though). I decided that this would not, in fact, replace my childhood model 1 Genesis, so it's up for grabs. Gone!

    You gave six hours to this game? Good god.

     

    I tried playing this a couple of times, I think. The first time, I realized it was terribly broken and stopped within a minute or two. The second time was to make sure that I was remembering my first experience correctly. I was. :)

    So, since we've started sharing ...

     

    My Secret Santa contacted me via the forum and recommended that I go ahead and open my package if I had free time ahead of Christmas. That was all the nudging I needed to give in and open my package.

     

    Here is a picture of my wrapped packages:

    And here they are opened:

    Kinda feels like I hit the Secret Santa jackpot!

    I recorded some gameplay. No comments on how much I suck at this game! I think there's a whole drift/boost mechanic I didn't know how to use.

     

    Edit:

     

    I didn't realize my mic was picking up while playing this. I'll record a new version and upload. Ugh.

    I bought it on sale for a dollar a while back. I'm not sure why it says it only has partial controller support, as I don't recall any issues using my Xbox 360 controller with it.

     

    I don't think it can compete with Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed or Mario Kart 8, but it's an okay kart racer.

    First time doing this on AA, so what is the protocol for this?

     

    Don't open till xmas?

    Open and post pics?

    Open and take pics, but dont post them until xmas?

     

    :D

     

    My package came from Australia (really excited to see what's inside!), so I think I'm going to open mine on Christmas Eve and post pics. That way, they should be up for my Secret Santa to see on Christmas day.

    Of course if you haven't revealed your real name or location on AtariAge, the recipient won't know that you are you anyway.

    Going to be pretty obvious to whomever gets my package, I think. :)

     

    What bothers me more for international recipients is the customs form. They give away the contents to the recipient.

    No, you vacuum ghosts while riding to the destination in order to have them start from the outer edges again, and not get all the way to Zuul or form the Marshmallow Man (which they eventually do anyway, at least in the C64 version, can't tell exactly how the Intellivision port will work out). So no money gained, but you prevent the game from getting harder at the end.

     

    Okay, thanks! That differs from the SMS version that I'm used to playing. In it, you move the Ghostbuster icon over the ghosts on the map to stop them from moving, and each ghost you capture using the vacuum gains you $200.
