+Andrew Davie Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 And though my games don't have any nudity they do have blood in the recent one and I ain't changing it to green blood either. That made me smile - I remember having to change the red pool of blood to green in one of my NES games. Eventually I had to take the green blood out too, as that was still to violent. I'd forgotten all about that until your comment! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 The Phoenix GameOn expo has grown immensely in the three (four?) years that it has been going on which shows that there is enough demand to put on these types of regional shows. Indeed, it's been 3 years now and each year the expo is bigger Heck, there was more people at CollectorVision panel last saturday than at the whole Coleco Expo itself O_o 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they made the blood gray in Mortal Kombat I and II on the SNES. So you're like punching the "sweat" out of your opponents, so to speak. Was MKIII on the SNES uncensored? I think Nintendo ditched their censorship laws after ESRB was established. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 With or without the homebrew community problems this Coleco Expo would have been just as poorly executed and poorly attended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enoofu Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Colecovision August 14 at 10:20am · The Coleco expoby the numbers. Anticipated Attendance ~ 2000Actual Attendance ~1200Staff - 15 % of Dealers reaching a profit:95% % of Dealers reporting that they would vend again:98% Most typical Dealer suggestion1. Choose a smaller space2. Increase attendee traffic What dealers liked the most1. Professionalism of the staff2. Balanced Mix of vendors ** Attendance numbers do not include show and expo center workersThank you for all who participated.

I even was able to read the comments! It wasn't their usual crap of Do you want to join facebook? no Do You want to join facebook? ummm, no Please join facebook? No!! We must mine your data... Join facebook or else! ***And then trying to see a facebook page covered by a giant banner taking up a third of the screen telling you to join if you want to see it.*** BTW No offense to you or your chosen platform, but I always figured if facebook was really so hot they'd let anyone see it and then people would join after seeing how much fun everyone else was having... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 The Coleco expo by the numbers. Anticipated Attendance ~ 2000 Actual Attendance ~1200 Fake News? Seriously, though, based on all the photos and videos we have seen coming from several different parties at different times of the day, including the content from Coleco themselves, I have a hard time believing there were 600 people there each day. But why would they lie about such a thing, right? They wouldn't have come up with a way to pad their numbers or make stuff up because they've been completely honest and upfront with everyone this whole time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuggerVideoGames Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Those numbers seem sketchy and fake to me. 98% said they would vend there again? 98% is 49 out of 50; I have a hard time believing that 49 out of 50 would gladly show up for them again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swami Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'm inclined to think used game vendors did okay because they didn't have much competition from homebrewers selling new games. If you are going there planning to buy some $50-$70 new homebrews and there aren't any, 2 for $10 games start looking pretty good. Were there any homebrewers for other systems there? Nintendo? Sega?

fiddlepaddle Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I didn't go, but from seeing the reports, videos, pics of the expo, it seems like I would rather just drive around town to 5 retro game stores instead: free parking, probably a bigger selection, and no cover charge. And a hundred sixty bucks plus overhead seems pretty high for a vendor, even if that really was 1200 attendees (which I don't believe). Not to mention, every time this promoter pretender posts or talks, I feel like I need to take a shower... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPR Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 So the unsold patches that they are trying to unload on eBay... Does this patch misrepresent the ColecoVision Expo because there was only *ONE* ColecoVision unit on display or does it perfectly represent the ColecoVision Expo because there was only *ONE* ColecoVision unit on display? Hmm.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StopDrop&Retro Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The Phoenix GameOn expo has grown immensely in the three (four?) years that it has been going on which shows that there is enough demand to put on these types of regional shows. The popularity of GameOn really took me by surprise. I regret not taking time off work to go there but I've definitely got my eye on next year, it's pretty much a done deal unless something big gets in the way.

mr_me Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I was fully interested in attending and or possibly getting a vendors table . I got 3 homebrews I've made I was going to put and maybe some comic books I've made. But when he started attacking the fan page, daniel, and others that was it. I was out. To me it was attacking freedom of speech. None of anyone's business about the subject of my homebrew games for a defunct system. And though my games don't have any nudity they do have blood in the recent one and I ain't changing it to green blood either. As long as you don't use other people's properties in your games. Realise that RWB has no power over censoring those old games. It's Facebook that has the nudity policy. Facebook would have done the same had anyone made the same complaint.

TPR Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 It's Facebook that has the nudity policy. Facebook would have done the same had anyone made the same complaint. We are all free not to use Facebook. Remember - Facebook did not actually have an issue with the images posted. The claims that were made to Facebook never mentioned anything about nudity, that was a made-up story by Cardillo after the fact to try to make his reasoning for his insanely stupid actions sound more justified. This was all because Cardillo is an egotistical control freak who wanted to control all the content being created on a system that he has zero rights to. The claims were completely erroneous and this goes all the way back to the first page of this thread where we can easily prove this was not about any "pornography" games that were made on the ColecoVision (because they aren't pornography to begin with, Cardillo keeps saying that for shock value, but really it's just #FakeNews) as this was about Cardillo wanting to get rid of homebrew publishers and fan sites that he couldn't control, or at least squash out the games he personally didn't like. There was no "nudity" or "pornography" in any way ever posted. DO NOT BE FOOLED! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enoofu Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Pretty sure Chris endorse's nudity since he is cross promoting Coleco with his music and video's Also Daniel Bienvenu released that game before RWB was involved with Coleco, and it looks like a homage to the ecchi Games that were in SE Asia and Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Pretty sure Chris endorse's nudity since he is cross promoting Coleco with his music and video's But of course he endorses it when it's convenient and profitable for him! DO NOT BE FOOLED! You can bet your hot naked ass that Cardillo would have been promoting those games if there were something in it for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol eBay Auction -- Item Number: 292220217172 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 292196012189 "100% of the profits of this listing go to FREE 2 LUV, and anti-bully charity" Pretty sure exposing the truth doesn't fit a bullying description. This guy would rob a bank and claim to be the victim...
