Eleventh entry in the 8-BIT XMAS series. From the publisher's site: "There's nothing more emblematic of the Holiday seasons than the cozy feeling you get waking to a fire and conifer brimming under with presents. That feeling of togetherness and warmth and holiday spirit shared while singing songs of the season with friends and family. That feeling of wonder as you lay in bed and hope you are not getting sick! Got a case of the holiday blues? Dr. Covio has the cure! Line up pills horizontally or vertically to kill viruses. That might sound easy but don't take too long or the viruses will start to multiply! If you're feeling lonely invite some friends (or family is ok too), there's enough room for up to 4 doctors in this office! Game Features: 1-4 players Multiple playfield widths Player speed setting 20 virus levels xmas music! This original game cartridge is built using all new parts. No donor carts were harmed in the making of this game." -Boxes are not included from RetroUSB, however they were available from NES-CITY ( @fsped09 )

From the NES publisher: "A mysterious small-town mine is beset by some evil creatures. Elena Stone and her trusty Gunride have been enlisted to help get it back... and line her pockets! Speed through the mine and kill the bad guys within to get the gold back! Brought to the NES for the first time by Neodolphino Productions, this release is the second US localization of an amazing new Japanese homebrew!" This homebrew was originally released in Japan on the famicom. It was subsequently localized and released for the NES for international release by Neodolphino Productions for sale on VGS. Both versions are almost identical for game content minus title screen and a grammar correction at the ending. The physical components are different. Famicom (12/24/2020): Released as a CIB on Booth with paper box, instruction card, and black FC cart. Note: The pictures attached to this entry show a taller cart along with the standard release. This was self made by someone and not official. NES (5/29/2021): Released as a CIB on VGS with clam shell box, manual, instruction card, offer card, two tone cart (random pairing of translucent pink / translucent charcoal) Famicom release is expected to continued to be restock and the NES release had a limited release in batches.

This music cart for the NES was released in 2016 on Nintendoage with profits donated to the website. There were (40) CIB and (29) loose carts produced. From the publisher: "The cart itself contains 20 public domain Christmas songs, reimagined and done to perfection by humanthomas. I think you'll all really enjoy what he's done. There is an image on the screen just for something to look at while you listen, and it changes every other song. Sorry, no real "game" involved here. Just music! Track list below: 1. Jingle Bells 2. O Come All Ye Faithful 3. Deck The Halls 4. We Three Kings 5. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing 6. Away In A Manger 7. O Little Town Of Bethlehem 8. Up On The Housetop 9. Joy To The World 10. Angels We Have Heard On High 11. First Noel 12. What Child Is This? 13. O Holy Night 14. God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen 15. Silent Night 16. Wassail Song 17. I Saw Three Ships 18. It Came Upon The Midnight Clear 19. Jolly Old Saint Nicholas 20. We Wish You A Merry Christmas" More Detail: Christmas themed art is displayed on the screen while the music plays with a track time. Left and right on the d-pad changes the track being played. The cart shell is two colors, one for the front and one for the rear. These were assembled at random between translucent red and translucent green. At least one has been modified with internal blinky lights by the end user.
