1-4 players

players start at the bottom and run to the top to get a present and bring it back to the bottom- most presents at the end wins.

single screen, you can move anywhere on the screen, punch fellow gift grabbers and make them drop their gift when you don't have a present.

simple. violent. xmas.

edit: you can add a layer of complexity with a power up, but really, all i want to do is grab presents or slap my brother's and sister's presents out of their hands to stop them from getting more presents than me. that's what it's about! PRESENTS!!!!

If anyone is LOOKING for certain repro/homebrews, I have a running repro company thread going as well as a lot of extras myself which include Limited Editions as well.  I'm also free to help answer questions and point people in the right direction so never hesitate to ask!  Here is the current list of repro companies.  Please let me know if I need to update it:

The secret to testing games for bunnyboy is knowing that once you're in the club, you don't talk about what he's working on until he gives permission. 

Sorry guys.

 actually I'll be beta testing the XMAS 2011 game tonight, and I'll bug Bunny to see if I can spill the beans.

NOOO!!!! Don't spill the beans...I want to be surprised when I get the cart. Everything from Game play, to opening screenshot, to Label design, to the Card Model.
Don't leak anything!!!

Santa boxing, like the old retro boxing games. Elves can be the refs. Something like Ring King, but maybe a little less ridiculous (and minus the between rounds fellatio). Dunno, the idea just screams awesome in my head.

Battle for the title of "World Heavyweight Santa"

I had a couple of ideas recently I know it's way too late for the 2011 but maybe the 2012 cart could use these..


first one is a pretty simple d-pad hero clone. Beatbox baby Jesus. (there's a horrible 'Hark, the herald angels sing' remix that plays on some stores intercom that I swear has someone beatboxing in it and I picture it in my warped head that it's a baby Jesus. )



the second is a canyon bomber/defender multiplayer game Santa Vs. the Missiletoads. player 1 controls santa as he flies at a constant speed but you can turn him left or right he has 3 reindeer and when he's hit he looses a reindeer no reindeer left he crashes into the ground.. the computer or other 3 players control the missiletoads they have an angle (adjusted with up/down)and can hop left or right with the d-pad. firing a missile by holding down the a or b button to charge for a few seconds and launching on release. Santa's mission is to deliver presents to all the houses.. he can press A for a present or B for a bomb, but he's gotta be careful not to blow up any houses. so the game is 3 missiletoads Vs. Santa or have a second mode with just 4 missiletoads against each other.


-------------------------
If you have any GBA signage or kiosk I would be interested. Please send me a PM because I'm only here about once a month now but I'm still VERY interested in large system signage or small playable kiosks related to the GBA.
