Shawn Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I do like the UK Retro Gamer magazine... but I mostly prefer their anthologies and "bookazines" rather than paying a subscription. I would pick it up on a whim if I see it on a store though... unfortunately they are very rare where I live. Any of the video game (specificially for playstation when possible) physical magazines I buy for my son I have to order from the UK. Works out to only about $10 to $12 CDN dollars shipped on single issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaysWithWolves Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Speaking of magazines, Fangoria was purchased and is coming back as a quarterly and being developed as a brand for producing movies and podcasts. So I guess anything's possible, although Fangoria does have the brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thierry Henry Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Guys, I'm looking for the "Nostalgia S.H.I.T." parody videos. Those were awesome! Have they been taken down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Guys, I'm looking for the "Nostalgia S.H.I.T." parody videos. Those were awesome! Have they been taken down? Unfortunately, yes. Game Escape seems to have changed direction with his YouTube channel; several of his videos have been taken down, including the parodies. It's a pity, although I'm sure several of us have downloaded archival copies. Hey, I just realized that this thread crossed a million views! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has posted it on Thingiverse or any other repository I use, but it is only a matter of time until someone does an Atari Box 3D print model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixdownita Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 .... Hey, I just realized that this thread crossed a million views! When??? how???? WTF??? Dafuq???? @Albert did you fudge the numbers???? OK please Mike come back and chronicle the aftermath ... it's been a while and at 1M strong (views not people, or $$$) we deserve to know what the hell happened to you, warts and all, actually especially the warts. (I am a glutton for punishment and 1M view it's awesome given the last 250K+ were well after the dust settled) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newsdee Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 https://coleco.com/is still alive and kicking at least. Those mini arcades look interesting but I wonder how good the games are going to be. Still, gotta give them points for doing something original(?) and new for once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 And for whatever reason this even crappier domain is asking for more... Could this mean that there won't be another Coleco Expo?!

godslabrat Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) I made some polite inquiries. Apparently this company "acquired the domain when it became available" though naturally they won't say how much they paid. The sale price is determined by an "algorithm", though they won't disclose what variables the algorithm weighed, and one would think paying that much money for a name you'd want to know that. Hey, if your business is picking up domains from terrible failures and trying to flip them, more power to you. I wonder how many other terrible URLs are they sitting on, just waiting for someone to be willing to pay big bucks for the right one?

Flojomojo Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I'm pretty sure that price is set by the current owner. Typical Dormitus thinking, picking up trash and then claiming it's silver. https://www.hover.com/blog/premium-domain-names/ Premium Domain Name Definition A premium domain name is a domain that is already owned by a person or registry. Its cost can be significantly more than a typical domain purchase — anywhere from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of dollars — due to its perceived higher value. The higher price will apply to the initial acquisition of the domain, but it will renew at the regular renewal price for whichever domain extension it uses. My top hit when searching for "coleco expo" is http://www.gambitmag.com/2017/08/coleco-expo-hilariously-embarrassing-disaster/ Looks like Dormitus has dropped (sold?) some of its lines (no more Spuds McKenzie or Handspring) and picked up Underalls and Slice.

carlsson Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I wonder if not both (?) Coleco Chameleon "prototypes" could be had for $1600 instead of just a domain name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those mini arcades look interesting but I wonder how good the games are going to be. Still, gotta give them points for doing something original(?) and new for once. Well considering one is just emulating a formerly retail GBA game, and the other is a home baked up NES title, I can't see it being too hard to tune an emulator on cheap hardware to run those right. I was interested in that for awhile but I didn't like what they were asking. The Robotech game is really solid as I used to have it for GBA years ago.
