I have noticed this game in that unofficial price guide for homebrews 'n' such. Does anyone have a legitimate copy of "Hot Dog Eating Champion"? I would love to see a copy, as I have only heard of it in said thread. Does it exist? You tell me, people.

I don't know but in Googling it, I came across a video of a japanese dude against a Kodiak bear in a hot dog eating contest, and it was some of the most entertaining shit I've ever witnessed.

This is not the game, but can you post a link? I would love to see this.
 

The commentary is great. "But see, the bear is looking away and taking breaks, because he doesn't know it's a competition, he's just a natural..."

Sir, you have given a new meaning to Kobayashi Maru
 

I wonder what that guys bathroom break is like the next morning?

I hadn't even heard of this game until like a week ago, now I'm seeing it discussed everywhere.

I think some guy named Jerbimmy made it, try PM'ing him.

Mofasa is clearly "the" Hot Dog Eating Champ.

Wait a second, 44 midgets versus a elephant in plane pulling?! I think the rest of this video is much more important.

Hot Dog Eating Champions? I don't think they exist.

(said in the cadence of Wesley from Princess Bride)

Good example of the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.

I think it's actually an example of a joke starting to gain steam and to actually be repeated more frequently, rather than something that was being talked about suddenly SEEMING to appear more frequently.

Considering that a few months ago, the game/joke/cartridge didn't even exist, it's sort of a demonstration of how things spread by word-of-mouth and how long it takes to get everybody talking about it.
 

Yeah, I was kind of joking about it being an example of Baader-Meinhof.

It's been around for a little longer then a few months, just recently started getting some recognition.

I think there is 18 carts? Too lazy to grab mine but I feel like mine is #12? Mofasa has 3 lol

Sure.  But it's not like it's been underground for years, or something.  It's a recent thing on the timescale of the hobby.

Oh, I'm well aware of the B-M phenomenon, mbd39 lol.

I have to agree with arch_8ngel on this one, though; I'm pretty sure it's just building steam.

Only the hot-dogglers know for sure.

That's for Hot Dog Champ!
 

Am I doing this wearing one of them onesies like Andre wore in the ring?!
