AtariAge and that dude who made a game some time ago present...
Carol vs. The World![/font:2faebk63]
2015 Championship[/font:2faebk63][/align:2faebk63]

Get Ready... Go![/font:2faebk63]
It is Christmas time once again and the third annual Carol vs. The World! Championship is upon us.  Throughout the entire month of December, all boys and girls -- naughty or nice -- will have the opportunity not only to earn bragging rights, but to win actual prizes!

This year, in an effort to encourage novices and newcomers to play, we are changing things a bit. We will separate the veteran players in their own category, so that they will not compete with newer players for prizes. We hope that this will balance the contest better and make it more fair to newcomers.

There will be two categories:  The regular players and the special "Elite Knight Elf" for veterans players, each with their own rankings and prizes.  Veterans are those who have won awards or have submitted scores higher than 1,000 points in previous competitions.  Please visit the Contest Rules and FAQ pages for more details on contest rankings.

All that said, there are prizes for players of all skill levels, veterans and novices alike, and many other surprises!  We encourage everyone to participate, submit their score, and join in the fun!

Once again, we've partnered with AtariAge to include some more great prizes!  The Top Players on each rank will receive a $25.00[/font:2faebk63] gift certificate for the AtariAge Store, and the Grand Prize winner will be awarded a $50.00[/font:2faebk63] gift certificateHow's that for a stocking stuffer?

We've also changed the top prize!  At stake this year is a custom-designed, one-of-a-kind Ultimate Video Arcade Marquee.  Made with the same process and materials that classic arcade cabinets use, it will look just as great on your MAME cabinet or wall.  Plus, the winner gets to help design his own Christmas Carol themed artwork!

Like every year before, the championship starts at Midnight (EST) on December 1st, and goes all the way until Midnight (EST) on January 1st of the new year.

The rules are simple:

  • Play the Christmas Carol game on your Intellivision® console or PC.
  • At the end of the game, record your final score by taking a photograph or screen-shot of the game screen. This will serve as proof of your score.
  • Announce your points to the judges by posting the image right here or sending it via e-mail to the judges at: .  Be sure to include the name you want to have displayed on the leaderboard.
  • Wash, rinse, repeat as many times as you'd like, until the contest deadline of December 31st, 2015.

That's it! There's nothing to buy and no registration required.  Whether you play the game cartridge on an Intellivision® console, or the ROM edition on a PC or Mac, it's all the same.  Just send us a photo or screen-grab of your score and you're in!

We'll post all entries to the Official CvW Leaderboard as they come in, where they forever will remain immortalized on the Internet.

Will you save Christmas from the twiggy arms of the Evil Snowman?
Is the Ghost Of Christmas Presents your friend or foe?
