Keatah Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 They haven't posted anything in weeks, but your bump of their forum discussions prompted me to visit them again. The most recent thread is called "Quality" and here are some highlights. Seems like a reasonable, if slightly salty, question: Screen Shot 2018-03-12 at 10.56.55 AM.png Screen Shot 2018-03-12 at 10.56.31 AM.png POLYMEGACOLON is pretty scary, they're threatening "disciplinary action, if necessary." I wouldn't want some "random schmuck" SOILING my forum either.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 This thread will be Tacofied soon enough.... though I think it was suggested that the R-Blo was more of a burger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Well it stacks up like a burger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 And like a burger joint, R-blo really gets you with the side dishes. I mean, sure you could just take the burger, but you really want some fries and onion rings with that, don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 And it'll fatten up a collection. Because now you have to make room for modules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Any of you know if or when this is going to get released?My money is on "we're delaying the release of POLYMEGA to mke it even better!" These guys have done nothing but blow smoke so far. I will assume it's vaporware until proven otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey.shake Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Well it stacks up like a burger. I was thinking something closer to "piles up" (like something else that comes from cows), but hey, either way's good with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 "Stacks up" is more manly and worthy of admiration. "Piles up" is like it's just kinda happening and it's shitty too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 At least Lythium has the good taste to simply disappear, like any self-respecting vapor ware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepdreamin Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Any of you know if or when this is going to get released? Why do you want this? What will it do that your computer cannot?

Want this so I can play retro games on a modern tv. Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Colecovision. You can play these on a computer but I want to use the original controllers.

You can play these on a computer but I want to use the original controllers.You can use Coleco vision, Atari 2600/7800, and other controllers on any modern computer with a USB adapter like this one. https://www.retronicdesign.com/en/ Edit: And this one for Atari 5200 controllers. http://www.2600-daptor.com/5200-daptor.htm Edited March 14, 2018 by mr_me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are inclined to use real hardware, that is another story. Probably not worth it unless that is important to you or you endlessly like to tinker just because you can.

Andromeda Stardust Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Looks like Retrofreak is discontinuing their standard all-in-one system for cheaper standalone consoles with custom controller/cart adapters. Innovation, or stealing? https://www.play-asi...-sfc/13/70bl4h? All they need now is standalone adapters for every other system. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsdee Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) It's not stealing considering that Retro Freak came up with a modular system first, just they sold it all in one box until now. I guess this new one is to ride the popularity wave of the SNES Classic. Edited March 20, 2018 by Newsdee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
