BDW Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) New bin at the bottom. Every Who Down in Who-ville Liked Christmas a lot... But the Grinch, Who lived just North of Who-ville, Did NOT! The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be that his head wasn't screwed on quite right. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. But I think that the most likely reason of all May have been that his heart was two sizes too small. But, Whatever the reason, His heart or his shoes, He stood there on Christmas Eve, hating the Whos, Staring down from his cave with a sour, Grinchy frown At the warm lighted windows below in their town. For he knew every Who down in Who-ville beneath Was busy now, hanging a mistleoe wreath. "And they're hanging their stockings!" he snarled with a sneer. "Tomorrow is Christmas! It's practically here!" Then he growled, with his grinch fingers nervously drumming, "I MUST find a way to keep Christmas from coming!" For, tomorrow, he knew... ...All the Who girls and boys Would wake up bright and early. They'd rush for their toys! And then! Oh, the noise! Oh, the noise! Noise! Noise! Noise! That's one thing he hated! The NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! Then the Whos, young and old, would sit down to a feast. And they'd feast! And they'd feast! And they'd FEAST! FEAST! FEAST! FEAST! They would start on Who-pudding, and rare Who-roast-beast Which was something the Grinch couldn't stand in the least! And THEN They'd do something he liked least of all! Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small, Would stand close together, with Christmas bells ringing. They'd stand hand-in-hand. And the Whos would start singing! They'd sing! And they'd sing! AND they'd SING! SING! SING! SING! And the more the Grinch thought of the Who-Christmas-Sing The more the Grinch thought, "I must stop this whole thing! "Why for fifty-three years I've put up with it now! I MUST stop Christmas from coming! ...But HOW?" Then he got an idea! An awful idea! THE GRINCH GOT A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA! He would DESTROY those nasty Whos! "I've now had enough! I'll destroy their entire villlage, If they dont like it, that's tough!" He loaded up his weapons, with sparkling glee, Each weapon nastier than the last, "I'll show them who's boss, NOT ONE WILL FLEE!" He launched into the night, In his armament filled sleigh, "I HATE CHRISTMAS! I HATE WHOS! EVERYONE WILL PAY!" The first house exploded, The Grinch was so proud, But the Grinch had a realization: "Why do they not fight?", he wondered aloud. The first laser was fired, He dodged it with ease, He shouted out below, "You thought that would stop me?! BITCH PLEASE!" The Whos were in their bouncy Zigglyzoos! This battle will be full of strife, little did the Grinch know, It would be a battle for his life! How the grinch destroyed Christmas.bin Edited December 23, 2009 by brandondwright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applying debug colors in Stella reveals that the score is actually still present: You must have changed the color to black Thanks Wiki! School is out tomorrow, so I'll try to get that fixed No problem! I assume you were trying to get rid of the Activision logo? It looks as if the score color is controlled by the same instruction as the logo color, so in order to easily get rid of the logo, you must simply fill it's graphics with zeros.

Right now I'm working on changing the various colors, so I'll change the score color back. Yes, I did try to get rid of the activision logo, I intend on replacing it later with different text.

DarthDuke Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I love it! Love the Grinch stories and the game Laser Blast. Clever idea to combine them. I was wondering if anyone had thought to hack that fantastic game. Seems it would lend itself to all sorts of themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
