+DZ-Jay Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) AtariAge and that dude who made a game some time ago invite you to another very special edition of the High Score Championship. Presenting... Carol vs. The WORLD! (Carol's Super-Duper Christmas Championship Extravaganza) Play the game Christmas Carol vs. The Ghost Of Christmas Presents and help Carol Greenleaf save Christmas from the Evil Snowman. Rise to the top of the ranks of Santa's Elite Elf Squad and submit your top score to the judges. The person with the highest score received by the deadline of December 31st, 2014, wins a very special gift from Santa Claus himself! Everyone's A Winner Santa Claus always acknowledges hard work and effort, and although there can be only one Grand Prize winner, Santa will award various other prizes to the top players on each rank, in recognition of their high status among Santa's Elite Elf Squad. Plus, all scores submitted will be published on the Carol vs. Ghost web site as well as in a soon to be announced forum thread in AtariAge, so even if you're not in the highest rank, you still get to brag about your score. There will be prizes awarded for every skill level--plus a few surprises--and everyone is invited, so there's just no excuse not to participate! A Present Under Every Tree As if bragging rights and great prizes were not enough, Santa has decided to give away the game to everyone! That's right, Christmas Carol vs. The Ghost Of Christmas Presents is now available in ROM format as a free download. So start practicing and head on now to the official Carol vs. The World! web site for more information about the championship,: http://www.CarolVsGhost.com/cvw/pg_contest.html Spread the joy. Spread the word. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

LidLikesIntellivision Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'm very happy to see another Carol vs. the World edition. Carol vs. the World is the most exciting and fun gaming contest I've ever played, not to mention the game is so good it was voted by AtariAge community as the best Intellivision home brew game! And the Grand Prize is the most incredible prize you could wish for: a customized edition of the game. I'm very curious to know who will be the third lucky winner and what edition will come after the Elf-Knight and my Scary-Ghost edition. Let's save the Christmas from the Evil Snowman once again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DZ-Jay Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 As has been the tradition in the past CvW contests, I present you with four riddles as a prelude to the championship. Guess the answers correctly and you shall earn your first achievement. A correct guess will include two items: The missing words to each riddle The character or item that is the subject of each riddle For an extra-special bonus you may also include a one-sentence short story using all the words guessed in those two items. The best story we receive by the end of the contest earns extra bragging rights with an exclusive achievement! Make sure to send your answers via PM or e-mail at <cvw@CarolVsGhost.com>. Please, do not spoil it for others by posting your guesses here. Santa Claus will not approve. The Riddles: Riddle #1: Her hair is fair and of golden colour And her threads are just as dandy, She can sprint very fast through a corridor Except when she stops to ___ ____. Riddle #2: He has no legs, no feet, and no toes He has no arms, no hands, and no paws Though he may seem spooky, He's just sort of loopy, And he's friends with good old _____ _____. Riddle #3: Programmed and trained to attack her, Its buzzing and whirling can't faze her, With mechanical aim it will track her Then shoot and zap her with its _____. Riddle #4: Twiggy arms and eyes of black coal That stare fiendishly with a scowl Fear is instilled in everyone's soul At the sound of his bloodcurdling ____! Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roryjr Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 So the windows version will just play on my PC, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 So the windows version will just play on my PC, right? Right. It is a self-contained package, that includes the emulator and the game. All you need to do is run the "installer," which does nothing more than copy all the necessary files into a folder. Likewise for the Mac version on Macintosh computers. Should you have any problems, feel free to PM me. -dz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
