![[Xonox] Double-Ender Cartridge Chuck Norris Superkicks/Artillery Duel (December 1983](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yx2mTMHP7Yg/mqdefault.jpg "[Xonox] Double-Ender Cartridge Chuck Norris Superkicks/Artillery Duel (December 1983
Aired during The Smurfs on KMTV, an NBC Omaha affiliate sometime around December 1983
Based in Minnesota, Xonox was the video game division K-Tel International of Veg-O-Matic fame. Xonox is well known by retro gamers for capitalizing on the novelty and perceived value of double-ender cartridges. These could be inserted into the console on one of the two ends, each end offering a different game.
They made games for the Atari 2600, ColecoVision & Commodores C64 & Vic-20 micro computers for a short time before they closed due to the effect of the infamous 1983 North American Video Game Crash. Games included in this ad are Artillery Duel & Chuck Norris Superkicks
Originally published by Bally for their short-lived Astrocade console, Artillery Duel consists of dueling cannons on either side of a hill or mountain of varying height and shape. Each player has control of the incline and force behind the shell launched, the objective being to score a direct hit on the opposing target. Where many versions gave the player a few tries on the same course, Artillery Duel switches to a new mountain after each turn. When the player does manage to hit the opposing cannon, the reward is a brief animation of comically marching soldiers at the bottom of the screen.
Chuck Norris Superkicks, is a 1983 video game produced by Xonox where the player takes control of Chuck Norris trying to reach an ancient monastery to rescue a famous leader being held hostage. Dangerous warriors lie in waiting to stop you. It was later sold as Kung Fu Superkicks when the license for the use of the name Chuck Norris expired.
