cybercylon Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 With all the time they spent navel-gazing over a new name, they could have announced something concrete. Consider that their Kickstarter was supposed to be LAST MONTH, which was to have all the tech info. Now they're two months late, have nothing to show, and still won't acknowledge that they've been pulling a Kennedy all this time. Instead of cornering the market on retro games.... Cornering the market on BS (pulling a Kennedy). There are plenty of other people that do that already, but I am not going there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Maybe they'll have a booth at E32017! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 http://polymega.com PolyMega - A retro game console with dockable modules, ie multiple systems you pay extra for. Also sounds eerily similar to: Polygamy - A life network of dockable modules, ie multiple wives you must support financially. The first seems to be a scam. The second is still legal in Utah last I checked. Both money pits. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Oh, boy! We've got a super-amazing-awesome announcement! What do you want to bet it'll be case colors, or low serial numbers? Have they been courted by Indiegogo? You know, in order to "resume" doing something, you need to have done it in the first place. Just sayin'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hah not the only one who saw the polygamy joke in there with the name and their intent behind it. Nice one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Hah not the only one who saw the polygamy joke in there with the name and their intent behind it. Nice one. Ooh, I'm just getting started. If you choose one game console and stick to it, you are a mono-game-ist. Most gamers however are poly-game-ist if like me, they own two or more game consoles and actively play on them! Unlike life partners, your Nintendo won't get jealous and backstab you or burn your shit if you decide to play a bit of Atari or have a date with Sega once in a while... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I realize that the quality of the name is purely subjective and not at all related to the quality of the product... but I'm amazed that after two months, that was the best they could do. It actually makes "RetroBlox" sound clever by comparison. And, again, it doesn't in any way explain why they couldn't release news about the technical details of the product in the meantime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I agree ... the name does not light my fire. It sounds like an unlicensed clone system (which it is, of course) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have had a SNES and Genesis close together and thought I heard faint arguing in the background. When I came back, the stack of neat carts for the other system was instead in a pile. Could have sworn the OG Xbox was trying to push the PS2 off the shelf, slowly, inch by inch.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 They could just call it the Game Harem. I mean some will find a device like this heaven, but it's a given at least 72 virgins will be promised one in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroBlox was a 1000 times better IMO. Polymega just screams of "unlicensed Chinese plug and play" IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 There's technically no reason they couldn't use the name "Chameleon". I mean, no one else is using it.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Fully funded, just doing pre-orders to gauge interest? If true, that's actually a good place to be. Though considering the development itself seems to be in the early stages (as evidenced by the fauxtotype) I wonder who would bankroll a project like this without even trying to seek additional funds?
