Thoughts?

 

I tend to like mini arcades and Robotech, so this one might be nice.

I do wish they would make some based on arcade hits too, like the original Coleco did.

 

Update: A viewer pointed out that this appears to be a port of the GBA Robotech game.

I haven't played it so I can't say if the game is any good or not.

I think this was discussed in the Coleco Chameleon thread. chris cardillo is behind it, and nobody here is really interested because of the middle finger he gave the Coleco fan base.

 

Wow! That thread is still going! Crazy! I haven't checked that thread in a long time.

 

Anyway, from what I understand, he wasn't trying to insult fans, but rather trying to protect the brand, however it sounds like he went to far. I don't know all the details of that situation, but there may be other people behind the project as well that I would hate to see get thrown under the bus with Chris by association. Personally, I'm just happy to see these table tops come back and hope the make some based on classic arcade games.

It's funny that these retro-style mini arcade form factors that basically emulate single NES games (or similar platforms) are gaining traction. I have the recent Centipede (7800 Atari Flashback port to a NOAC) and Q*bert (NES version) tabletops and, while a fun novelty for a few minutes, really have little other redeeming value in my opinion. The controls are always compromised and it's just more stuff to clutter a room.
