S.BAZ Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 You are straight in there I thought you might like to try this: The "ROM Edition." You can play Christmas Carol without having to mess with an Intellivision emulator: http://www.carolvsghost.com/pg_game.html A gift from the maker of the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I'm finding it hard to find the time to play at least one game at the moment. So busy on the build up to Christmas. I do my best, thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpisacane Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I could use some help with Christmas Carol as well. I've actually played that game quite a lot, and the best I have ever done is probably the fifth or sixth screen. I think it is a terrific game, but I also find it VERY difficult. Any and all advice is welcome. I have been eager to see all of the cutscenes for a long time, and I have only ever seen a few.

Intymike Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Frogger 12,130 played a bit of Christmas Carol too and was at about 500 points. But I missed to do a screenshot. Will play again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Are you kidding ? Are you pulling my legs ? ;) Is it the very first time you are playing Christmas Carol ? Noooooo... not my first time! I competed in Carol vs. the World 2013... played every day for a month and came up with a score of 3,716 by the end of it. I may have done a little better but that was my best posted score. It's just been a long time. I agree this game is amazing! Now I tried it and didn't even survive the first screen xD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Ok, I got 372 but missed the screenshot. Does anybody have a list of keyboard commands for this game? I don't know the button for screenshots. I figured out this much: Shift = Start 9 = Exit - = Go To Practice Mode F9 = Fullscreen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Carol: 1,100 After playing some more I realized, it was less important that I remembered my patterns, and more important that I got good at playing again! a couple tips... the escape tunnels work to evade the snowman, but only if he's not right on your heels. in an open space you can sometimes shake the snowman by zig-zagging. most important tip: play tons of times! Christmas Carol requires kung-fu training by massive repetition skill-building! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
