Don't bother now, they are pretty much gone under. It launched, went for a couple years then they closed up shop. As for the unit, not the most powerful even for an ANDROID BOX, some complained of controller sync issues, mind you some people loved it for basic emulation and some android games but the point is moot since they are now gone. If you are wanting a good android gaming device save up for an Nvidia Sheild or something.

Is Carrington S. Scott head of your marketing team? Clearly he should be! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciIj7fMxlOg

That................WAS AWESOME LOL !

Thanks for the links and the sanity check, pretty much what I've been saying to people jumping the gun every time the subject comes up......

Latest gab.... MORE TROUBLE WITH COLECO CHAMELEON SURFACES, REVISIONIST HISTORY SPOTTED http://retrogamingmagazine.com/2015/12/23/more-trouble-with-coleco-chameleon-surfaces-revisionist-history-spotted/ As detailed in the article MIKE already seems to be back tracking and tipping over what he is saying from one moment to the next so it is tough to give him the benefit of a doubt, I just do not think he is up to accomplishing this...

lol Hilarious! http://retrogamingmagazine.com/2015/12/23/sega-could-be-publishing-more-dreamcast-games/

Well, I am (shocker) still skeptical BUT with that said HERE is a post MIKE KENNEDY just made in the Coleco Chameleon thread over on Atariage I thought worth sharing for all of you following - Hello Everyone. It is the end of a very tumultuous year for me and in the spirit of Christmas and the holidays I wanted to come in here and ask those of you who will listen to let the past be the past as it relates to this (ad)venture. RETRO VGS is the past and COLECO Chameleon is the future. The Chameleon is not just a rebranded Retro VGS. Despite sharing some of the same internal components the hardware has been completely redesigned to lower the cost while maintaining much of its ability to play a wide variety of games in a variety of ways. To boil this all down to its essence we just want to produce a product that is different, affordable and will bring joy to people’s lives. The market will ultimately decide if we are crazy enough to believe a cartridge console can stand its ground in this age of digital delivery. There are clearly lots of people on both sides of this fence and ultimately it will all come down to the games that can be played and if they are compelling enough to vie for peoples hard earned money. The COLECO branding was a business decision I made to bring instant brand recognition to the Chameleon. But I did not enter into this licensing agreement lightly, knowing that if done so, we have a lot to live up to. COLECO made some very influential, high quality and fun video gaming and electronic products during their time and we will try endlessly to carry on that tradition with the Chameleon. The recognition of having the COLECO logo on the system and the (game and console) boxes will make the Chameleon immediately identifiable by millions of people right from the beginning. In the end this is a good thing for all involved including us, our customers, our suppliers and distributors, our contract manufactures, potential retailers and probably most importantly to game developers. Mark and Chris at River West/Coleco Holdings are also very behind this product and will be helping out in a variety of ways, beginning by inviting us into their booth at Toy Fair which is where they want to officially begin rebuilding this brand in more concrete ways. We know we have a mountain to climb and are prepared to do what it takes to plant a flag at the top. I will once again apologize to all of you for at times dissing some individuals and this community but it was hard being criticized by a group of my Atari and classic game lovin’ peers. I let it get to me on occasion and I do regret all of it. I am aware that we gave you all plenty to poke fun at and criticize but in the end, I believe the product will be much better for going through all of this. In my mind, the best way for me to apologize once and for all is to ultimately create a game system that will make most of you turn a 180 and win over your support and positive influence. And given the chance that is what I will do. All I ask is moving forward into the New Year is you try and give the Chameleon a fair chance to stand on its own, and again forget about the past. Let it speak for itself when we reveal it to you all early this New Year. And finally, let’s respect one another and our opinions (some advice I am directing towards myself) and that goes for both believers and non-believers of what we are trying to do. In the end, we all love and are passionate about video games and sometimes this passion causes us to do uncharacteristic things. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and I hope you all have a very Happy New Year! - Mike

YAY ! A friend showed me this and thank goodness, anytime I see any variation of this particular rumor pop up I will simply link this article in response, wish I had this before my long reply above lol. Some sense in this article everyone should check out HERE: Opinion: So about Project Dream and their Dreamcast 2 plans – calm down, it’s not official or sane December 22, 2015 by Barry the Nomad http://segabits.com/blog/2015/12/22/opinion-so-about-project-dream-and-their-dreamcast-2-plans-calm-down-its-not-official-or-sane/ And just for good measure..... https://dreamcasttoday.wordpress.com/2015/12/21/is-the-dreamcast-2-real-no/

It is nonsense and nothing more. "Dreamcast 2" has been rumored to be coming out since it stopped selling at retail lol. Rendered images appear, click bait headlines working up fanboys in a frenzy and there is never, ever any real facts or information, just a lot of vague type rumors. I don't know if it is done for attention, click bait or what. I swear these article writers get just the slightest bit of info and they take off with it, really seems to be like any rumor that starts off as one thing and just gains traction and snowballs into more and more nonsense. Everything posted in the original post is all derived from a rendered image, not even a particularly good one which was then added to a "change . org petition", you know those type of online petition anybody can knock off in 5 minutes? OH YES "our goal" is to get blah blah blah signatures, so what? Get 25000 signatures? DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU GET 10 MILLION, companies DO NOT WORK THAT WAY. Sega is NOT going to release a "new" console to support old games for a dead console. As for the proposed "kick starter", deciding you want something and making a kickstarter for it does not mean anything. Unless you are already in negotiations with the company and have a worked out an agreement then all you have done, at the most, is raise money. It would pretty much go like this......Hey SEGA I raised $$$$$$$$$$$$ through kickstarter, I want a Dreamcast 2! Sega responds "Uh, well that is nice however that is not our direction these days.....yeah we pretty much can barely release a decent Sonic title so yeah we are not interested in entering a console market already dominated by SONY / MICROSOFT / NINTENDO. We are pretty good at licensing our name / ip to cheap Atgames handhelds though so there's that...yeah........" Sorry but it is just getting really annoying seeing this Dreamcast 2 or Sega returning to the console market nonsense over and over and over in Facebook groups, sites, forums. Fanboys getting worked up over the mere mention and buying into it because "It would be cool to have a new Sega console", yes, yes it would be cool, I would be first in line in fact but the reality is it is not happening but don't worry 2 weeks from now, 4 months, 1 year, every year friggin year, there will be more poor renderings, more rumors, more fanboy wishes and caviar dreams lol. Please let's not start such nonsense here, lets have one place where people apply logic and common sense, could we? PLEASE?

Ughhhhh.....nope.........nope..........must resist this nonsense..............

Great video and nice take on it Justin! So professional as always.

Well honestly quite old videos lol but wanted to post here.........hopefully will get around to real new videos someday...

Might as well post the video about my other cool Homebrew while I am at it! Unboxing ARMY OF DARKNESS 2600! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeLQYJJuiNI&feature=youtu.be AND DEMONSTRATING THE GAME ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEZAyU1eayg

Seeing Arenafoot post that awesome Ed Fries interview prompted me to post this video I did 5 years ago. My look at Halo 2600 Homebrew! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTBP00r_q2s Original Description..... Sorry for the audio problems my camera SUCKS! Halo for the 2600 Released at CGE! Download the game here! http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/166916-halo-for-the-2600-released-at-cge-download-the-game-here/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_2600

Nice thanks for sharing! That is a great read. Halo 2600 is one of only a couple Atari 2600 Homebrew carts that I actually have!

RETRO VIDEO GAME SYSTEM BECOMES COLECO CHAMELEON CONSOLE http://retrogamingmagazine.com/2015/12/18/retro-video-game-system-becomes-coleco-chameleon-console/

Good idea, it really is just the same thing really. I will look forward to see what they actually roll out at the TOYFAIR, someone should swing by and pull back the curtain to make sure it's not actually running off a PC (or maybe even a Jaguar lol) I hope they actually go about things the right way this time but they came back so fast and the fact they are allowing articles to out right lie and mislead people into thinking this is the same COLECO that was behind the ColecoVision when in fact it is nothing more than a name / ip does not instill confidence to me that anything will be different this time around. I guess we'll see.

Hell I am worried it will dilute the legacy of Coleco !

Here is a great article that I am sharing to clear up some of the Coleco / RetroVGS etc confusion ! Good to see someone covering the truth. COLECO CHAMELEON, COLECO HOLDINGS AND THE REAL COLECO http://retrogamingmagazine.com/2015/12/17/coleco-chameleon-coleco-holdings-and-the-real-coleco/

THAT would be a lot closer to reality than what many are already being fooled into thinking............... In the end I would LOVE to be proven totally wrong but I have eyes and ears all over and from my experience if I were a betting man I would NOT be putting any money on the odds of anything substantial coming of this. :mellow: Well put. People who are gobbling this up have no understanding of what these guys have done prior (or are missing much of the story) you we hear much hype, a lot of talk and discussion but in the end well...........wake me up when it can be purchased with some games and real support.......

Sadly this "NEW COLECO" is nothing more than a name. The brand / IP has been licensed by the RetroVGS Team. In other words don't get too excited yet

With the RetroVGS "Team" behind it...what could go wrong? Power goes in............ I will believe it when I see it, so far all we got from Mike and the RetroVGS Team is promises, renders, lot's of hype. To be clear Uhm, there is no "involvement" from Coleco, it is just a name now licensed out to the RetroVGS guys lol. They made a deal with River West Brands (a brand acquisition and enterprise development company ) to use the name. It literally is just the name and branding. They acquire and hold IP's for the primary purpose of licensing them, everything else is left up to the licensee. Coming off as if "COLECO" is behind them when in fact there is no Coleco other than an IP and a name does not seem to be starting off on the right foot with me, whatever, we'll see I guess. I would love to be proven wrong and see something actually come of this BUT I suspect a repeat of the RetroVGS fiasco
