    AlamoAtari reacted to DeLorean in Coleco Chameleon (formerly Retro VGS)   
    Um..... Excuse me.. How is Collectorvision disavowing themselves of the Coleco Chameleon like they're victims kept in the dark just as much as we have been, when in fact they've been making posts leading people to believe their games "play great" on the Chameleon prototype?

    Right before the Toy Fair, Collectorvision posted this photo of the Coleco Chameleon "Prototype 1" dev unit and cartridge next to a TV that makes it look like the Chameleon prototype is playing their game. Collectorvision posted the following message:

    "One of our games we're working one, (sic) Sydney Hunter and the Caverns of Death running on the upcoming Coleco Chameleon prototype system. It plays great on it, and it will be playable at this weekend's New York Toy Fair event."

    EXPLAIN THIS SHIT

    So I've been sitting on this story for a while but I think its now time to tell another part of the story... The Jag Bar was once involved with the Coleco Chameleon kickstarter.

    I seen some reviews of the changes already, and many are not happy about it. They ditched the 9pin controller ports for USB ports, can you find adaptators, yes, but that ruins the nostalgia a bit. They have this WIIU clone controller with it, um how is that retro? now the name, when I think Coleco and video games, I think of colecovision, so they better be able to play those games. Otherwise the cabbage patch kids will rise from the dump and we will have an apocalypse that would make the gremlins look like the smurfs. Seriously, this thing needs to knock it out of the park at the New York toy show, or these clowns need to change their name to Buffalo Bob and Clarabell. This is quickly moving to the snake oil vaporware. If I'm out of line, I am sorry.

    Ahh so I bought shelves so I could cut up one and have more shelves and I originally figured correctly, but then I wanted some headroom to make it easier to get the games out, argh which left me one shelf short when I put my games in.

    I actually did a blind taste test as part of my school science fair. Hardly anyone can properly tell the difference between regular and crystal. I think that it was a psychological issue that turned people off. I tried to really get to the main difference besides the color. I think that it was the artificial coloring gave a slightly softer taste. They didn't like my prodggect and my teacher gave me a b on it.

    I played it once at a friend's house. Unfortunately it was his older brother's system and he came home and got mad that we were playing with his stuff. I remember him opening the jewel case and that chip in there. I was expecting to be a CD in there.

    It makes sense now.  "Let's use the fake Project Dream to sabotage the Coleco Chameleon project!", is probably what someone was thinking.  That makes sense.

    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?
