The Gay Gamer Giveaway™: Painter Momopie (GameBoy) Edition

So, I'm going to do something a little silly over the next few weeks--I'm going to publish a handful of posts (like this one) that will result in one of you fine folks walking away with a free Japanese GameBoy cartridge.

Sadly, none of these copies are "complete"--you're only going to get the cart, not the box, the manual or even the plastic case--and all of them are a bit beaten up, but on the other end of the spectrum, they work and they're free, so who really cares, right?


The only rule for this particular giveaway: leave some sort of comment below that indicates you'd like to throw your hat into the ring for the copy of Sigma's Painter Momopie, a cute Pac-Man clone that never saw the light of day outside of Japan, seen above and below. (And if you're commenting anonymously, please share some sort of username so I can properly and easily identify you if you're victorious.)

I'll ship to wherever the winner may reside and I honestly don't care what the winner dos (keep, sell, turn into a piece of nerdtastic jewelry) with the cartridge he or she receives--although of course I'd love it if some or all of them actually get played by recipients.


The winner of this particular Gay Gamer Giveaway™ will be determined first thing in the morning on Monday, June 19. Shortly afterward, I'll publish a post that reveals the winner, and then I'll follow that with yet another post about the next giveaway--assuming there's any interest whatsoever in this first one.

Finally, should you want to read up on Painter Momopie before deciding whether you even want the cart shown above, check out this introductory post, this "Great Gaymathon" review or this "Manual Stimulation" installment that's devoted to this adorable title.

You got it, Marcos. Good luck to you, too!

Charlie Finch said...

I played a version of this back in the 1980's when it was in the Arcades. Cool.

thegaygamer.com said...

So, that means you don't want to be included in the drawing/giveaway, Charlie?

Also, I'm guessing you're talking about Make Trax -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_Trax -- or something like that when you say you played a version of this game back in the '80s?



If so, this game is somewhat similar to that game, but also different. All of them are very Pac-Man-ish, though, so it makes sense.

I don't wear hats due to my head being too big for them, but I'll gladly enter the contest anyway. :)

thegaygamer.com said...

I can respect that, Will. Anyway, best of luck to you!

Justin Difazzio said...

*tosses hat in ring* I would LOVE to win this. Oh man.

thegaygamer.com said...

I've gotta say, I love how everyone is "tossing their hats into the ring." The power of persuasion, eh? Anyway, good luck, Justin!

Reynaldo Madrinan said...

I have no hat.
But I must throw.

thegaygamer.com said...

You got it, Reynaldo! Best of luck to everyone :)

*Throws hat with badass face expression.
"i'm in for that Painter Momopie."
*turns back and wind blows hair

thegaygamer.com said...

Ha ha! I love it, Joan. Consider your hat to be completely within the ring (or whatever one is supposed to say in response to someone throwing his/her hat into the ring)!

TheGameroomBlitz said...

Sure, I'll bite. I'm wondering if it improves at all when you run it through the color filters on the Game Boy Advance.

Ant Cooke said...

Throwin' a big ol' witch hat into the ring for this game. Your blog posts on it got my attention, so I'd love to play it for real~

thegaygamer.com said...

I'm going to doubt it, Jess, but you never know! (I've only played the game using my GB Pocket and via emulation so far.)

thegaygamer.com said...

You got it! Best of luck to you :)

Mahala said...

I would love to play this game on the big brick, I'm into puzzles big time and I love me some cute characters :D Please count me in!

thegaygamer.com said...

You're counted in, Mahala! Thanks, and good luck :)

A-Lx Playing said...

DOES SHE HAVE A ROLLER INSTEAD OF A BROOM??

Do not let someone turn this into jewelry. That would be sad. Please include me in the drawing.

thegaygamer.com said...

Yep, a paint roller, it seems! So, you're saying you won't make it into a piece of jewelry? Great! Oh, and you're included in the drawing :)

finchiekins said...

This game looks really cute! Please include me in the drawing too!

thegaygamer.com said...

You got it, finchiekins! And good luck to you :)

apricotsushi said...

Oh my, well I have to throw my hat in the proverbial ring for this one! More GameBoy games means more reasons to pick up another GameBoy to play them on, haha

thegaygamer.com said...

You got it, Anne -- and just in time!
