It's, uhm, interesting. You play Laurie Strode and have to save kids from getting slaughtered by Michael Myers during Halloween night. There are safe rooms on the utmost left and right sides of each level, bringing kids there will save them and give you points, as does stabbing Michael with a knife that can be found on random locations in a level. Rescuing 5 kids or stabbing Michael twice will take you to the next level with a faster Michael chasing you around.
There's gore in the game, Laurie's head is getting chopped off if she collides with Michael and blood is pumping out. The well-known Halloween title theme is playing throughout the game which can get slightly annoying after a while. In attract mode, the music is a bit more elaborated with a second voice which is hilariously out of tune.
Neither Laurie's nor Michael's names get mentioned in the game, Laurie is called "the babysitter", that prolly was to avoid legal problems. The makers of the game didn't even have enough cash to commission printing proper labels, the labels of the og carts were white with "Halloween" written on it with an orange marker pen.
The game has a certain quirky history and makes a great conversation piece on Halloween so I'm very happy with my purchase.
Now I want the same cool pcb shape release of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, another one of those obscure 2600 games.....

I like the Halloween game actually. I bought repros of that one and Texas Chainsaw Massacre on 2600 a few years back. They're not great games or anything, but not bad either, and pretty fun. Mine are just standard Atari carts with custom labels though. That custom pcb is sweet, tak.

Well, the Portal sucked ass, turns out they’re going for stupid money, sold it instead of returning it. Got the slim for free from my profits. Much smaller and lighter and more importantly doesn’t heat my office up like a furnace like my phat one.

yeah, I’m a scalper. I especially love to open my items so I can tempt fate and devalue what I’m about to explode in value on the marketplace. I preorder by the single unit to make sure I get as little profit as possible because preordering on multiple sites is gay, then put the item up at list hoping people will be stupid and bid up the price.
It’s foolproof. I live in a 1 million dollar mansion with eight lambos now cause I is genius.

I’ve been a fan of Crisis Force for a while but finally decided to get a cart. The seller was fairly local and it was cheaper than Japanese sellers/ listings. He even threw in the extra cart to my surprise.

Ebay seller: https://www.ebay.de/usr/bytes_and_bobs .
He also offers Texas Chainsaw Massacre shape for 2600 (yay!), as well as several others for 2600, C64, etc. Nice little gimmicks and prices are decent.
