Recently, Jr. Pacman. (When did Atari start releasing the red label games?)

I played H.e.r.o on the emulator and thought it was ok, but seeing your playthrough makes me want to give it another try

Pressure Cooker Wizard of Wor Centipede (7800)

Its very plausible that Sean Robinson scammed Mike Kennedy, but then Mike payed it forward by trying to cover it up and take down the facebook photos. I agree Mike could have easily averted this crisis by opening up the toyfair unit, getting input from a knowledgeable 3rd party such as Piko, and coming clean right away. The only explanation that makes any sense for why he wouldn't do that is either a) he was in on it with Sean or b) he thought he could get away with it and then produce a REAL prototype down the road and then claim that's what they had been using all along. I think it was A & B. When the AtariAge sleuths proved to be far better at proving the SNES mini than he anticipated, he knew that option B was not going to work and asked Sean to give him pictures of a the prototype he claimed to have been working on from earlier [dramatization] Mike:"Well shit, they figured out that its a SNES mini inside. We need to do some damage control.. You know that prototype you had been working on earlier? The one from last January that you were going to run Neo-Geo games on? Just throw that in the clear shell.. oh and make sure there's an LED so people see it powers on. We got a lot of shit for that last fake photo that didn't have an LED" Sean: Um, yea I can do that.... but its not working anymore." Mike:"Don't worry, it doesn't have to be working yet because it'll just be a still photo, we just need them to see the board is not a SNES" Except that Sean had been bullshitting about having been working on a prototype and sent the CCTV pics... At that point he is in too deep to come clean. He missed his chance to come clean during Toyfair. And if he was in on it, as I suspect he was, he couldn't just throw Sean under the bus and get back on track because Sean would speak out to defend himself.

I would turn it into the feature film with the main character being the Jaguar shell itself... it would be sort of like that film The Red Violin. Follow its storyline from its time as the the Atari Jaguar, becoming a dental camera, Retro VGS, Coleco Chameleon, Albert's AtariAge store.... and who knows where it goes next.

I just have a 7800

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time was always one of my favorites. I just thought it got bogged down by the boring combat sections... I much preferred the puzzle/platforming

Just saw this. I'm blown away!

What Eli could do is listen to a podcast with Mark Kaminski on it such as this one: http://famicomdojo.tv/podcast/110 and see if Mark's voice sounds like "Mr. Lee"

I didn't intend for my comment to be taken as a critique on your language skills. (What I meant was how you would go onto different tangents and then say "I'll get back to that part later" and it was hard to keep track.) I was genuinely just interested in understanding the story. I apologize if I offended you.

Listened to the Piko interview on Retro Gaming Roundup: Some of the details about the Eli's interaction with Lee don't make much sense. 1) If Lee was merely an independent contractor (or an employee of a big contracting firm depending on which version you believe) why would he be acting as an agent of the CC on behalf of Mike Kennedy and trying to persuade Piko to stick with the project? That is not his job and didn't make sense. 2) Why is Lee sharing all this non-relevant information with Eli about how wonderful his engineering firm is? Out of the blue? Did it come up organically in the conversation? Was it relevant to questions or comments Eli had made? (Honestly I had a hard time following how the conversation between Lee and Eli developed, due in part to the disjointed way Eli retold it. I could tell that the Retro gaming roundup interviewers were having difficulty following him too when they asked for clarification on what he meant by "he kept saying he was part of a company".) 3) Eli theorized that the deceitfulness was perpetrated by Lee, and that Mike Kennedy may have been unknowingly duped, at least in regard to Toy Fair. I don't see how that could possibly be accurate based on how the CC team has handled everything subsequently. If they were the victim of some terrible engineering firm scamming them, they wouldn't have tried to take down facebook photos, coverup what had happened, and maintain radio silence... they would have been just as outraged as anyone and taking legal action.

He's an entrepreneur through and through.

nah, too many syllables... how about Colgate?

I hope StopDrop&Retro does one. He already has a pretty good start with his "Mike Kennedy or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Retro VGS" video.. Just expand it, add a couple talking head interviews, add some music...

Yea, I don't agree with all this "guilty by association" chatter. I think its pretty easy to see the associated software developers could be led to believe that this was a legitimate enterprise. Demanding for their apologies is ridiculous.

the collective electronics detective skills of this community is scary good!

I just watched the "early launch titles" video on the retrovgs.com page, and at the end of the video, all the suggested videos to play next had words like "fake" "fraud" "scam". Maybe using embedded youtube videos isn't such a good move.

Everytime I think about getting a Wii U, I see a comment like this that makes me think twice. I am not an online gamer. So any system that depends on online community interaction is enough to scare me off.

I smell mirrors...

I would be more likely to buy 1 dual system than new separate handheld and console systems

seems a little unnatural to be viewing the cabinet from so far back

This was one of the games I used to most frequently play on emulator. I got pretty far in it. I now have it on cartridge and for the 360 collection. I like it a lot. Playing against the AI and watching what they do is a good way to learn strategies to get better.

The original Boy and his blob was a fantastic concept and impressive bit of programming that needed better level designs. Looks this remake filled that niche.
