Did "Santa Clause Saves the Earth" get a real US r

I was in my local Game Stop the other day and I just happened to glance at the used GBA rack and I ended up finding a Santa Clause STE game. I picked it up only to find out after peeling off the sale stickers that it was indeed the European cart! Now I know it had a small run around the holidays of 03' out here in the states, but to this day I have yet to find a US cart, has anyone else?

I only think it is sold in USA by Telegames and was by Toys R US with a Euro box.

I saw it only in TRU's as well. By the time I realised I should snag a copy they didnt have any anymore. The game was also slated for a US release on the Playstation. The reps I talked to at Telegames a while back said it and Soccer Kid were complete and ready to go, however they wern't sure if they were gonna bite the bullet and release the games since the system was dying. It looks like they never did.

That is 100% correct. There was no US box or cart label.

Shouldn't that be "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians?"

Nope, you're thinking of one a movie that was featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

God I love making fun of movies.

If I'd known Santa Claus Saves The Earth was going to be a limited release and be collectible-like, I would've snatched one up when we had TONS in my store 2 years ago. I think it was only $10 or $15. Those sold phenomenally well when we had them. Which goes to show, parents will buy anything for their kids if the price is right (and it's all that's left after raveonous holiday shoppers)

Telegames? GOOD RIDDANCE. I hated those a-holes when they were still doing retail for classic systems from their website. Bunch of liars and thieves. I wouldn't order anything from then if you paid me.

Conversely, their website says this concerning Santa for PSone...

MSRP: $14.99
Available in U.K. and Europe
(Will not release in U.S.A.)

I did order a Ultimate Card Games off Ebay for my Dad's GBA. I wouldn't order it directly from them even though they developed it and sell it online.

Did they go somewhere?

Well they shut down their online sales portion of the site back in 2004. Not a big loss in my mind.
