Fourth entry in the 8-BIT XMAS series. Defend your fire in this multi-player arcade game. This entry is a fan favorite.
From the publisher's site:
"It's that special time of year we spend with family and friends, a time of rejoice and generosity, a time for sipping eggnog whilst warming our socks in front of a toasty fire, and time once again for the holiday cart you waited all year for! Defend your fireplace!
Gather up all of your best friends for the newest game by RetroZone, Fireplace Bash!!. A four-player brick breaking party game that doubles as a lovely musical 8-bit fireplace background for your xmas parties, or it can also be enjoyed alone! While everyone is drunk on egg nog trip out to the colorful blinky lights that surround the edge of the cart. Top loader recommended to see the pretty colors, but front loader looks cool too. When you defend your fireplace the blinky lights changes to your player color. This year the blinky lights are even more blindingly bright!
Much more than a reproduction, this original game cartridge is built using all new parts. No donor carts were harmed in the making of this game.
