Vic20 frogger development or prototype cart
MegaRecognizer replied to MegaRecognizer's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Ok thanks everyone. Seems reasonable it could have been used to preview (or review) before release. Or maybe playtesting though I don't know how much that was a part of development back then. -

It's been offered to me to buy. But ignore the price tag - asking price is significantly less. I have a hard time justifying value even at that. -
That link was posted in 2013. What is the real value of this disc? I see 2 listings on ebay that are quite pricey and not much else referring to it.

Is there anything special about the inty power cord? I thought it was just a 2 prong cable, which you could get from pretty much anything. At least wrap it in electrical tape, and if you are worried about the internal conductors shorting then replace the cable. Sent from my A1-840FHD using Tapatalk

Coleco Chameleon .... hardware speculations?
MegaRecognizer replied to phoenixdownita's topic in Modern Console Discussion
I don't know the details of kickstarter other than hearing second hand 'you need a prototype for a hardware project'. I have no idea how much, if any, due diligence they do on projects. They probably leave that to potential backers since they are really taking all of the risk. regardless, I can understand not having the project done, or a prototype polished, but rushing this for the toy fair and pushing this scam further really damages their/his reputation and makes it hard for me to believe in any effort made to salvage this. other than maybe selling custom color jaguar molds - I don't know if that would be profitable - but I think he has demonstrated he can do that -

must be tracking down the right resistor. Seriously, it's sad and disappointing how much this has become a disaster since the Toy Fair. If the claims leading up to the Toy Fair - some phantom deal with Toys R Us, real prototype - were true I would have been intrigued to follow. Toy Fair was a fixed deadline, but man how can you underestimate the amount of work left to get your prototype working by THAT much. It has to be almost certain that kickstarter isn't buying the prototype. It certainly wouldn't match the description of the proposed product.
