+Gemintronic Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Jagovision? Is this a joke within a joke? It's still the RetroVGS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Its being marketed by Colecovision - not RetroVGS. They are providing the guts but the CV folks have bought into the vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantis Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Colecovision, why not... much better than RVGSHope they can get investors to put together a prototype. Is there any cool games titles that comes with Coleco? Edited December 18, 2015 by Atlantis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are providing the guts but the CV folks have bought into the vision. Actually you could not be more wrong lol. Don't believe the hype, it IS a rebranded RetroVGS, there is no CV folks, just new articles very wrongly implying that "COLECO IS BACK !" it is just a brand / IP - Suggest you check out THIS thread for what is really going on http://atariage.com/forums/topic/235430-how-has-this-not-been-posted-yet-retro-vgs/page-174?do=findComment&comment=3393348 Edited December 18, 2015 by OldSchoolRetroGamer 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coleco is just a brand from a company that sells the rights to use those brands. The RetroVGS people are using the Coleco name under license. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 I totally get its the RetroVGS product - what I didnt realize was RetroVGS bought the IP rights vs the CV IP holders buying the RetroVGS rights to sell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I've seen a lot of misleading headlines lately. I have nothing against the RetroVGS guys but I'm still waiting for concrete information on their latest hardware revision and new business plan. That will determine my excitement level.

GroovyBee Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Fixed that for you :- I've seen a lot of misleading headlines lately. I have nothing against the RetroVGS guys but I'm still waiting for concrete information on their latest hardware revision and new business plan. That will determine the excrement level. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 What kind of cardboard are they using for the motherboard and are the components inkjet or color laser printed? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaysWithWolves Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Whar ar transloocent shells? I am disappoint. What kind of cardboard are they using for the motherboard and are the components inkjet or color laser printed? Maybe they'll offer a print-your-own kit?

GroovyBee Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Maybe they'll offer a print-your-own kit? That'd be more fun than actually playing anything on the console. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantis Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 A prototype in the making, according to their facebook https://www.facebook.com/RETROVGS/"Hello everyone. You have all seen the announcement we will be branding our new console under the COLECO name. We are excited to be a part of the revitalization of a great American brand and are working hard to build a system that will live up to the reputation of the original company and their gaming products. Many have mentioned they are still awaiting actual prototype hardware and wondering what is inside COLECO Chameleon. As we've said before we have made great progress over the last two months, but are waiting until we have the prototype 100% buttoned up before going public so we avoid the issues from before, talking about things, making changes, etc. So please, continue being patient with us while we do what you all want, making and demonstrating a playable prototype. Once we have this, all will be revealed. And rest assured, it will be at a very inviting price point. Thanks again for all your support, comments and questions."

Merendino Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I'm not in any way trying to insinuate that any person involved would do such a thing but can you imagine if they "borrowed" or "stole" someone else's work for the actual motherboard? I don't wish failure on many projects but that would seriously be the rotten cherry on this catastrophe sundae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
032-Bias Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I like their passion and drive, but the original RetroVGS was hampered with so much controversy that I don't see it being a good idea anymore. Logistics of using cartridges in modern times is already troublesome, but dusting off the old Coleco branding and putting it on the thing isn't really helping their case. Still, interested to see if this will become anything substantial or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
