Saw these for at Ollie's Closeouts last night for $19.99, fyi.. (edit: why did this post blank at first?)

Mark wrote back. Nice guy, but unfortunately a dead end. He suspected Steve Cartwright, but I said he didn't know anything about it. "Interesting. I was at Activision then and recall something like this being shown. Have you asked Steve Cartwright? Suspect it was his." "Nope. It wasn't Sacramento. Sorry. Felt a bit like a Frostbite. Which was awesome. Maybe best vcs game ever."

I'm in contact with Mark Turmell. I've sent him the video and hopefully he'll check it out this morning. He's west coast so there will be a bit of a wait. Hopefully not long.

The characters look straight out of Sneakers and Fast Eddie. Anyone know Mark Turmell well enough to ask if he programmed this?

Ha. Now they are promoting a competing Atari website/forum on the Coleco FB page. That'll show you, Albert!!! That'll show all of you!!

This honestly may be one of the greatest posts of all time. Amazing you are trying to turn this around with you as the victim with the added bonus of blaming Albert. Dude. YOU started all this. YOU did. The icing on the cake though is quoting MLK at the end. Nice victimy touch. I hope you don't get banned. I'm completely fascinated by how oblivious you are. And you're in charge of branding? Ha! Oh, and the Mengele thing, too. So much to enjoy!

Jeez, dude. THAT'S your reply after crapping on a fan site??

Also, to Carl....I strongly advise you not to go down the print magazine path. I recommended this to the Manci Games Magazine guy and I even said it to Mike Kennedy when he was hatching the idea. Neither listened to me, which makes me the world's worst consultant, but I can't say it loudly enough. It's a financial black hole and there are really no assets there that you need. You don't need the name and you don't need the domains. Just keep your name and your niche and expand digitally if you feel the need. I know you are thinking, "yeah...but I KNOW I can do it better and make it successful." Don't chase that rainbow. Just my friendly advice.

Wow. That was some real hard hitting commentary. If you thought for even one second there was a Super NES in that thing then you're a conspiracy theorist. How has that lasted for 60 episodes?

I like your site. I sold you my Asterix proto many years ago.

This x10. When I did CGM I didn't put a huge emphasis on whether someone had excellent writing skills. The fun was always reading the writer's passion on the subject. Tight editing can fix most writing problems if you spend some time on it. The most feedback we ever received on an article was about a guy finding a Tooth Protectors at his dentist's office. I like the old adage that everyone has a story to tell so I liked letting people tell them even if they had no experience writing. We live in the era where we can tell the first-hand stories and experiences before we leave the planet. So document them even if you "can't write."

I'm glad he's making more vids. I feel he's the mascot of this entire saga.

Can't go into much detail, but I'll just say "thanks!"

I'm just glad my balls weren't blown off. I was starting to get concerned. To celebrate I think I'll send them out to be debuffed.

Thanks for uncovering and posting. That's about as sad as it gets. I know I didn't run CGM as successfully as I should have/wanted to, but at least my contributors had some dignity (well, 99% of them anyway). This is getting more and more depressing.

Fair enough. I was just trying to point out the (admittedly limited) observation/experience I had last year. I think there might be a running belief of a Snidely Whiplash image from the outset vs. what I witnessed, which was more the picture on the "40 Year Old Virgin" movie poster. Optimistic naivety, which is what I experienced when starting Classic Gamer Magazine. I just knew when to get the hell out of Dodge.

I believe this as well. I spoke with Mike last year at E3. I could tell he was genuinely excited to be there to try and drum up business for the original console idea. He had very wide-eyed optimism about the project, but it just spun entirely out of his control, which is where we are today. But intentionally set out to scam? Not from my observation at the time.

At the VERY least do Albert a solid and throw him the lowest tier (only five bucks!). Don't even think of it as a subscription. Think of it as a thanks for hosting the site/forums and providing a place for people to come together to talk about this issue. It's been your go-to place to vent, laugh, and even lurk for the past year. Observing the detective work for the past month is WELL WORTH the five dollar admission. So, c'mon...five dumb dollars! It's just one less "Uncommon" you'll find at the flea market this weekend, but what's more entertaining and informative? This or your "new" glue-tattered actiplaqued Fishing Derby? Plus, really...if you're getting fresh hits to your website or youtube vids then it's a no-brainer (<---Guilt portion of my commercial).

I agree. It's HIGHLY doubtful that freelancers scattered around the country were privy to any of inner workings of CC. They write an article. They send it in. That's pretty much the extent of their involvement with the magazine let alone a completely separate project they have nothing to do with.

Those independent engineers are about to have their balls blown off.

That Engadget "journalist" is really bad at her job. You can tell she has zero motivation to dig any deeper than what she sees in front of her. Her first Chameleon article was just sad.
