Reaperman Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) I figure at some point, these will start ranking up there in image searches. But, the problem is that I'm pretty crap at them. I think this one might go well on their facebook page--it's helpful.

elmer Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Instead of a list of business leads and contacts, it's more like an enemies list. Way to go, RVGS. "Enemies of Carlotta"? Sorry, there's just no way to take this whole thing seriously anymore, especially on a Friday, and after a few beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In related news, I have been holding on to the rights to a certain bridge for some time now, and might consider selling for the right price. How many previous game systems came with a limited-edition bridge? Edited February 20, 2016 by Reaperman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Nick Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 So we know the censorship will continue unabated, like last time, nothing new. I do understand people need to vent their frustration about it but fact of the matter is that Mike & Co ain't gonna stop doing it. Sure, sure, but my point was that I was deleted, and blocked in mer seconds after I posted. That's insanely efficient. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we trust the Author, or its source? " She's also written stuff for Anime Insider and Anime News Network, as well as a rather lengthy stint editing Pokémon things for The Pokémon Company. She still plays the games and seriously can't believe there are 721 Pokémon now." Source: RetroVGS (Facebook) Sure, sure, but my point was that I was deleted, and blocked in mer seconds after I posted. That's insanely efficient. Probably because 9/10's the comments are against the Atari SNES Edited February 20, 2016 by enoofu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they're playing with power! I wonder if that gives them the right to say something like this: “We won't force you to remove all Atari 2600 ROMs from your web site if you remove all negative comments about our product from your forums.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Sounds like it technically could go that way. but I don't know, and I don't care. What I dislike is reading canned and standard PR responses, and some of the facebook text fits right into that description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 When you block someone from a group on Facebook, you can see them in a list of blocked people, right? I wonder how large their block list is now? So if I'm right, they are in possession of a list of real names of people who showed some interest in their product, but as a result of COLECO dickishness, are likely to never again do business with them. Instead of a list of business leads and contacts, it's more like an enemies list. Way to go, RVGS. Is there a limit to the number of people you can "block" ? If so, I'm sure they would have exceeded it by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PikoInteractive Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Oh God. Now Atari is coming in? Wow, somebody is going to end up sued or in bankrupcy.

If I could just go back to the 80's and tell little reaperman that someday there'd be a coleco system that plays atari games, it would blow his mind.

They never said it and it's not in the sizzle reel, but they let it slide to get even more free good will. Or maybe it's tomorrow announcement ATARI LOVERS RETAIL BUNDLE. I don't get the RETAIL, unless he plans to add 100US$ and have a second version of each and every goddamn tier but in special colors, with braille literature and haptic feeback [a kick in the nutsack] Edited February 20, 2016 by phoenixdownita 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperman Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) Now, if they were to make a coleco-branded expansion module for their SNES that plays my 2600 carts, and outputs through SCART, *THAT* might be worth backing. (assuming anybody else were running the project) That's how you use a dead brand--to make a useful product 100% more hilarious.

triverse Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Lol, but if Nintendo's lawyers can't get rom sites taken down, I don't think anyone can. It would be funny to watch them try. Nintendo's lawyers don't go for shutting down the whole ROM site, just removing Nintendo IP's. Look at Romhustler.net for an example of this legal action. If other companies are notified of such sites they will usually send a C&D letter to the site owner and order their games removed. Capcom won't send a C&D for Data East properties for instance, unless they own them. Konami, for instance, has the rights to the whole NEC library of games, all of Hudson Soft's games, Ultra Games, and Konami of course. That is quite a large library of titles but they don't bother ordering ROM sites to remove their titles for some reason. Nintendo on the other hand is quite interested in this stuff and will take, at least minimal, action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zredgemz Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 LOL. I'm tempted to make a video to see if they "go after" me. Mike: "Make him disappear." You do not want to be banished to retroland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
