Justified skepticism. This is being discussed here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/261689-retroblox/

Didn't realize there was an older thread already discussing this. Just saw this on Yahoo news and thought it was just being announced.

They've been vaguebooking about this for months. It's still unclear what they intend to bring to the table.

Another day, another retro-whatever-system. When will this bubble burst?

But one says polymega and the other says retroblox not polymega. Is retroblox being renamed?

[Flojomojo]

Same thing. Polymega is the new name for Retroblox.

Everytime I see that dumb name my mind jumps to what I caught on about the name the first time, polygamy. You have one owner, and many wives to do your bidding. The whole device is like the FLDS of consoles.

I'm reminded of megacolon.

 

Megacolon is an abnormal dilation of the colon (also called the large intestine).[1] The dilation is often accompanied by a paralysis of the peristalticmovements of the bowel. In more extreme cases, the feces consolidate into hard masses inside the colon, called fecalomas (literally, fecal tumor), which can require surgery to be removed.

A human colon is considered abnormally enlarged if it has a diameter greater than 12 cm[2] in the cecum (it is usually less than 9 cm[3]), greater than 6.5 cm[2] in the rectosigmoid region and greater than 8 cm[2] for the ascending colon. The transverse colon is usually less than 6 cm in diameter.[3]

A megacolon can be either acute or chronic. It can also be classified according to cause.[4]
