MaximumRD Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 These look real cool but DAMN it is bugging me that these old retro companies, I know they have very little to nothing to do with the original and are mostly just acquired brands / IP's but the fact they keep trying to use crowd funding just screams red flag to me. jmjustin6, Atarileaf, Atari Creep and 1 other 4 Quote I am Rob aka MaximumRD aka OldSchoolRetroGamer and THIS is my world http://about.me/maximumrd "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life.

Atari Creep Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I think it is a cool idea but not for me!!! Maybe an original but not a new game labeled like the old ones! StormSurge 1 Quote Don't just watch TV, PLAY IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 They look cool but the two titles on offer don't really speak to me. I might have picked up arcade perfect versions of the titles in the original line. StormSurge and Atarileaf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormSurge Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Agreed. I have zero interest in those games & I'm not really keen on financially supporting the current owners of the Coleco name. Plus, we have a vintage Ms. Pac Man machine modded with Raspberry Pi. MaximumRD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaximumRD Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I feel nobody asked for or wanted the titles on offer. They should have taken a poll or something offering titles unique to Colecovision or perhaps titles the original coleco had planned but never released. I have no doubt there are very specific reasons they are offering Robo-tech GBA port and Strawberry Shortcake 8bit title but nothing besides the mini cabinets says "COLECO" to me. Just comes off as another cash on marketed to the retro collector crowd because "NOSTALGIA" with zero understanding of what made the originals so cool. To that end I am mostly in agreement with THIS video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZxsJQzTMFY Sabertooth, Atarileaf and StormSurge 3 Quote I am Rob aka MaximumRD aka OldSchoolRetroGamer and THIS is my world http://about.me/maximumrd "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life.

MaximumRD Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Something like THIS would be so much better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ4YKLVoFzs Quote I am Rob aka MaximumRD aka OldSchoolRetroGamer and THIS is my world http://about.me/maximumrd "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Honestly, there are five or six mini arcades by My Arcade that just landed at our Walmart I would rather spend my money on collecting. Burger time, Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Bad Dudes, Galata, and one more that sound far more interesting to me than these. I'll pass.

MaximumRD Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 A parody made by a friend but honestly I think these might have been more interesting!
