LOL, Brian is backlogged with all the orders he's recieving! 8-bit Xmas carts will suddenly not be that rare anymore. Can we confirm that it won't become "discontinued" until January 1st, regardless of how far into 2014 it takes to ship the remaining orders?

It isn't being discontinued early, and there isn't a backlog. Remainder of the boards hasn't left china yet so there is a chance they will not arrive until after I leave for xmas vacation. Any orders will still ship, but not until after new years.

I noticed 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 are all NROM, whereas 2012 2013 are both UNROM so I guess they could share the same boards. My 2013 Xmas cart PCB has a 2012 date stamp on it, but it has high score saves. Did Xmas 2012 support this?

Last bump! Any orders now won't ship this year, but only around 2 more weeks until the cart goes into the disney vault.

Frankly, I'd rather have no 16-bit Xmas than a buggy repeat like last years. 2011 was a good year though.

I did, for prolly about six hours. The only thing I noticed was as it snowed, mountains started to form until the entire screen eventually filled in solid white with snow. Maybe I'll put the ROM in an emulator and disable throttling so that it runs at max CPU (like 2000% speed) for a while.

Also once I start a game it never returns back to the title screen.

Does anybody know what the flying present does, or if you are supposed to shoot it or get hit by it? My wife is dying to know, and in order to restore peace in the house I need some answers Also, why is it that at times the sleigh's speed increases and shots fire faster? Any help would be great!

Get it by whatever means you can; the game is awesome. Best Xmas cart ever made IMO.

December was so crazy for me I never even had the chance to play this one. In fact, it's still in the box it was mailed to me in, never opened it. It's packed away with the Christmas stuff now.
