toiletunes Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'm sad they stopped announcing tiers, I was looking forward to the"hater lovers bundle," and the "it's not a SNES, no really!" bundles. Instead, we got the "ran out of ideas & B.S." bundle and the "scrambling damage control" bundles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepdreamin Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 are we sure Mike isn't just a huge Calvin and Hobbes fan? after seeing the "proto", I got the immediate impression he was just doing his own Transmogrifier sketch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I remember one where the teacher asked Calvin what state he lives in- Calvin said "Denial." That kinda fits too. Maybe Hobbes is the hardware guy? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperman Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) I vaguely remember our thread on the OTON, a crowdfunded console which created new games on the fly using hopes and dreams. It netted about $1100 in flexible funding. It's really weird to look at their indiegogo campaign, because I now realize that we knew *WAY* more about what they wanted an OTON to be made of than we know about the rvgs/chameleon. the fauxtotype(?) looks considerably better too. And hell, 'have it make you all the new games you want' is actually a lot better selling point than 'collect all of our limited edition, vga-graded carts (*sold separately).'

Reaperman Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) I do hope there isn't a meltdown commencing. I was kind of hoping this could end with a simple 'giving up' or even better the kickstarter homepage consisting of 'Atariage, you've been punk'd.' Those are about the only slightly positive endings I can think up. Edited February 23, 2016 by Reaperman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsfolly Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Does anyone have a list of features that were planned for the original deluxe "everything and the kitchen sink" "SVGS" version,but are now deleted for the "we got rid of that crazy hardware guy so let's be reasonable" "Coleco Chameleon" version? They still seem to be promising the world for this system, although some features (like cartridge slots) are now optional extras... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoRacer Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Just a random question: Has there ever been a console that was this much of a trainwreck that had (nearing) 100 pages on the thread? Or for that matter, even a mainstream console debut with 100 pages on AA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enoofu Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 All of our games are 100% done, so that played a big part on allowing the games to be there (no cost on our end to develop them). But if we don't see minimum numbers this year (units per title), we won't come back with new titles. We are not investing anything on the Chameleon other than our time. They will be paying for the carts Here is some interesting quotes from Piko interview on Nintendoloveaffair http://www.nintendoloveaffair.com/2016/02/peek-inside-piko-interactive.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_ocelot Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 It's posts like this that make me mad I can only hit the "like" button once instead of three times. Yeah, Nathan needs to spread that stuff out over multiple posts -- each one of those deserves it's own post with it's own likes. It's not like you are saving precious electrons and black electrical tape by economy sizing your posts, you know! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or for that matter, even a mainstream console debut with 100 pages on AA? It's not a console, but there was a guy who was trying to sell wooden Atari cartridges. It only got up to 12 pages, though: atariage.com/forums/topic/168337-skull-island-wood-case/ It went from happy fun times to refund promises on page 9 to torches and pitchforks by page 10. That was the first time I remember seeing anything like that at AtariAge, but I could have missed something or forgotten about something that was even worse. I don't know if the 7800 XM threads count since it was mostly health problems that kept delaying it for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet... This could change depending on how the Kickstarter goes down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
