    This game was placed in the last Retro Junk box by Rowsdower70 (Thank you, sir!)
     
    I finally took the time to really play it, and thought I'd give my impression here.
     
    The game itself is labeled as #17 of 20, and signed by Joe Grisaffi (one of the designers and director of the film) and was made in 2013. I have not seen the film this game is based on, but it appears to be available for free on-line, and I'm going to check it out. I also don't know if only 20 copies of this cartridge were created. If so, that's a shame, as the game is really good. It came with a manual which is simple and well done.
     
    The game has a really nice opening screen with great music. You start as a naked guy who has to find his armor. Once you find it, you can use your sword to hack up 4 victims that you have to search for. Each time you kill a victim, a policeman is spawned. They shoot you, and you are unable to kill them. After the 4th victim is killed, the goal becomes to find a character named "Marla" and drag her into a castle. Once inside, you must defeat a Boss Queen by shooting away at her shields and then the queen herself.
     
    The game reminds me a lot of "Haunted House" -- lots of searching and exploring, while avoiding the bad guys as best you can. I think it's really a lot of fun. It makes you want to keep playing until you can defeat at least one boss. The graphics are great, and there's no flicker at all.
     
    RickR's final grade: A
     
    Anyone else have more info on this game, or an opinion on the gameplay?

    So I did another Mt. Rushmore video, this time covering the best pack-in video games of all time.
    Please note, these are not necessarily my favorites, but rather the games that I thought did the best job of selling their systems.
     
    So, what four pack-in games do you think did the best job of selling their systems?

    Finally received the box today, this is what I took out:
    Sega genesis 2 console-Now that's a surprise! I have the old genesis, but this one is nice too!
    Atlantis intellivision
    Pitfall intellivision
    Star trek LCD game- another one for my collection, never played this, but will try it out.
    Nintendo power magazine- I really like these, for the nostalgia, very good condition for almost a 30 year old magazine
    Last, I had to pull this out, wouldn't fit into the junk box, grand prix circuit for C64, I don't own one of these, so if anyone wants this let me know, I'll ship it free of charge to you.
    The junk box is headed today to Rick

    Nicely done.  It's kind of cool to be able to get brand new paddles, even if they are a little tiny bit different.

    Is it possible to make a second edition of the game via Atari Age or anyother producer?
    I bet, there are many grateful consumers.
