There's just something about the big boss man in the pic.
Like an oily used car salesman.

Didn't think so. That Marble Madness guy is pretty much holding that proto for ransom.

He showed up, waved his e-peen around a bit, then vanished.

The guy on the right is trying to channel his inner Sam Axe Jason Bly.


Fixed.

It all gets weirder!  :shock:

So the new Coleco Chameleon "prototype" is now on-display the the New York Toy Fair, and it's looking suspiciously like what they're showing is a SNES-clone motherboard, and that the "prototype" cartridge is actually an SD2SNES or a Super Everdrive.

The new KickStarter campaign starts in 2 weeks.

I didn't think that there was any way that this whole saga could possibly get any stranger!  :wink:

Sure looks like an SNES connector to me.

Yeah, its pretty silly.  I think its actually an SNES mini though, not a clone. Here are the pics i posted over at atariage as to why i think its an snes flash cart:

i saved it as they are probably going to delete it

Now...this is actually getting kind of ridiculous. At this point they've actually had enough time to at least make something horrible. We already know about the SNES, already have one. Thanks to Nintendo for that. Don't need some 21st century professional middle man trying to monetize the enjoyment I've had for the SNES for 25 years. That's been done. It paid Nintendo's bills and they moved on to the next thing. I suggest these guys do the same.

It was just embarrassing enough already  - this is just leaving me almost speechless...

If it isn't obvious to the folks here and at Atari Age and elsewhere who have been following this, I will state it here: "You are not the target audience for this product."

This is a product for the grocery store end cap for someone who currently owns no classic gear, to wax nostalgic for a few minutes, and make an impulse purchase.  That is all...

i think most know that.  we just enjoy watching the train wreck.  its never going to come to market anyways.  i almost feel bad for them, but this last stunt is a bit too much.

Lost Monkey the target audience is clearly NintendoAge style collectards which buy anything and everything "limited edition". They are trying to cash in on the collectard craze and it shows.

LOL if you think they have the same target audience as the folks behind Atari Flashback or something like that. It's a console not to be played, with games not to be opened.

You're describing a FOC with Pac Man on it. These guys seemed to be aiming much higher from the beginning, and seem doomed to only achieve much less. Having a grocery story endcap...they're so far from that they might as well be trying for a PlayStation 5.

@Punch - I think Mike has moved on from the Collectards and thinks he is actually going to get major market penetration with the Coleco name...

That is pretty much what I am saying...  Coleco would not be onboard unless they expected orders from Target, not Stone Age Gamer... Why else would they be at the toy fair?

So it's now the Colecovision name on an Atari Jaguar shell with a SNES inside. :P Doesn't get anymore authentically "retro" than that.

Since half of the RVGS games were emulations of modest homebrew SNES games, why not just stick a SNES-on-a-chip inside there?

They can get pikointeractive onboard to publish their SNES titles in different shaped carts with the special code that keeps SNES games from being locked out.

As many have said, these losers are mentally ill and shooting for the stars. If they can anyone else to stock their limited edition carts, they take the money and run and just change their business plan yet again. They just desperately want to feel special and like the rockstars of the gaming world that they already believe themselves to be.

Coleco is literally a name owned by a company that licenses its usage. They don't care about the non-existent brand at all. If you have a modest amount of money, you put out Colecovision cereal and Colecovisipn tampons. Just pay for the license, print a bunch of stickers with your computer and stick them on stock you buy at the dollar store. But if you were a business genius like the RVGS crew, you'd number each of your limited edition tampons and then release a new numbered batch with slightly different holographic labels and variant chase tampons.
