enoofu Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 i say we enjoy the break from Coleco Stupidity Not like Chris knows anything of mainstream or niche video-gaming especially when they post stuff like the quote below.. Redemption gaming fans would be off-put since ICE and Raw Thrills made this game, also their is a lot of mainstream hatred of Konami outside of it's classic offering COLECO HOLDINGS LLC @ColecoVision_ Aug 27 More Who loves @Konami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swami Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Somewhat related occurence in the news, although this is an actual business not a non-business fan page. Just crazy what these businesses do in litigation. http://www.theledger.com/news/20170828/polk-teacher-entrepreneur-battles-giant-ebay This also reminds me of Kellog's going after the Exxon "tiger in your tank" tiger for being similar to Tony the tiger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 If you have some evidence of this, like a newspaper artiicle, please post it. We've been told that Activision does own some Imagic games and I think they've published Atari Demon Attack and maybe Atari Atlantis as Activision. It has also been said that when Intellivision Productions approached Activision about publishing the Intellivision Imagic games back in 2001, Activision didn't acknowledge ownership of those games. I wish I did. I could've sworn the video game press claimed as such back then when Imagic folded. But it appears from later posts in this thread that Activision only purchased certain Imagic titles. If they were available a few years later for a song and a dance, I'm surprised Atari Corp didn't pick them up, considering they re-issued a bunch of Coleco's licensed titles for the 2600 after Coleco closed up shop.

Flojomojo Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Atari Corp didn't have a song and a dance. Just a few weak croaks and a limping shuffle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's able to take the attachment on and off. The show was done by Filmation, not DIC. Filmation often used 'stock cuts' as a money saving method so that Lou was able to keep American animators working at a time when every other studio opted out and contracted overseas. He was a maverick and a true patriot. A legend in the industry and beloved by millions. Stock footage, endearing goofiness & camp, timeless characters, etc....the 'Filmation Generation' kids get it ...... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Seeing those characters on one book cover explains a lot to me. I never placed them all in the same studio. That's probably because I was a tiny kid when I was into Super Friends. Your spin on making forgettable, poorly-produced pap into a patriotic, job-creating triumph is mind-bogglingly brilliant, and I salute you! I just wish the Archie cartoons were better (I wish Riverdale were better, too). I also wish I could show Fat Albert to my kid without it being weird because of all the Cosby history. Star Trek Animated is on Netflix and I'm enjoying it once in a great while. I didn't see those growing up, and they're better than I expected, despite (because of?) the cheesy re-used action theme music. To go back on topic, 2017 Coleco still sucks, Cardillo should get out while he can, and if this counts as cyber-bullying, well, that's just your opinion, man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good_Times Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Uh-oh, just noticed, between She-Ra and Flash Gordon -- it's the Shat! Do you suppose that a Hello Kitty bicycle might be hidden somewhere in the shot, as well? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MortoffGames Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Just as a crazy thought would it be possible to crowd fun the purchase of ColecoVision and just place all the intellectual rights into public domain?

What they are doing with them current is just plan stupidity. In 2013 when Atari filed bankruptcy, people suggested the same. Unfortunately the timeline for a successful Kickstarter would likely eclipse the bidding period for the assets auction by a wide margin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they are doing with them current is just plan stupidity. They don't really own any of the IP, just a couple of websites, a Twitter account, a Facebook account, and very limited trademark rights for using Coleco and Colecovison for electric toys and Video-games. You can sell mail order hot dogs named Colecovision and they couldn't stop you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enoofu Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Toys ‘R’ Us is evaluating bankruptcy as they are almost out of cash and nearing 5 billion in debt, this retailer was supposedly going to be used to showcase a New CV Retro Console from prior posts, which generated this entire mess. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/06/business/toys-r-us-bankruptcy-advisers.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1500 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I remember wanting to hit up TRU near me in Bloomington, only to find it closed. There was another TRU in Roseville, but they turned into a Babies R Us. I can't even hit a TRU for a quick toy fix it seems. They are mostly for parenting supplies.
