+atari2600land Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Um, what is this? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 132609285529 Why is there a game based on the movie? How come I've never seen this before? Where's the Manos: Hands of Fate game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) One of my favorite movies of all time. I am very VERY curious what is in that game cartridge..... Edited May 10, 2018 by Opry99er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 My BS meter is going off... picture is cruddy and label on Santa looks too new to be real... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neotokeo2001 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 See this topic: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/273821-holiday-collections/ Atari Dogs said, "It's a hack of Asteroids. You are Santa's sleigh. And the asteroids are Christmas gifts." But in the EBAY listing it says, "A platformer game a Donkey Kong clone." So it is either an Asteroids hack or a Donkey Kong hack probably based on my Donkey Kong Christmas hack. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neotokeo2001 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 They should have listed them separately. I have no interest in Condor Attack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 They should have listed them separately. I have no interest in Condor Attack. Condor Attack is the value in the auction. The Santa cart would just a bonus curiosity IMO. If you had bought it I'm sure you could have got the $125 back out of the Condor Attack with some patience and then the Santa cart would have been free. I am also curious what game it actually is.

Shawn Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 The winning (and only) bid was $97.56 $97.56 USD = $125 CDN I asked the seller and he said it was a homebrew that only 100 copies where made of. I asked what kinda game it was,ect. and will report back with any other details if he has any to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Would be good to know when it was made, or even how old the sticker appears to be. For no one to know about it, I would think it would predate AA, and maybe even RGVC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 The link earlier in this thread shows this cartridge. According to AtariDogs it is a hack of Asteroids. He made up the carts and labels, and the label is identical in every way. He could probably give some additional info on the ROM origin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I was always disappointed that Telegames never came out with a 2600 version of Santa Claus Saves The Earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Dogs Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I just saw this. It is amazing how much you forget in 10 years. It was a hack i made or adjusted somewhere around 2009. If you do a search you ahould be able to find it in the Hack section along with the description. If it is mine, the lable is just a scan of the Santa Conquers the Martians movie poster i found on the internet. I used the precut lable paper you could buy and a regular printer. So nothing special. I released two. I still have mine and someone here wanted one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
