Apparently Gary Kitchen, who the Retro VGS folks bragged about having as a backer, got his $1000+ pledge refunded.

As damning as that would be, there's still the possibility that it's just a mistake ...

Quote from: MikeKennedy
Hey Everyone,

We have confirmed, according to our IGG rep that Paypal is canceling some pledges for no reason(having to do with something triggering their fraud dept), and we are discussing with them now. We found out when one large backer said his pledge was reversed and he told us about it. Have any of you had this happen? If so let us know as we don’t know if it’s an isolated incident or happing frequently.

We will keep on keepin’ on!

Mike

The problem with paypal is probably that some people reported the fundraiser for being misleading.

..."something triggering their fraud dept"...  Yeah, a little something called 'common sense'...

I mean, you know, why would I even want this hunk of shit? The price is crap. The games are not classics or even groundbreaking. There is no killer ap announced for this thing, and they are trying too hard with the hype buildup, so hard it is not even remotely convincing me that they can and will deliver everything they say they will. And I mean, for the asking price, there is all sorts of classic systems waiting to be bought with hundreds of legit classic titles available at better prices.

You know that the RETRO VGS campaign is really off the rails when somebody produces such a brilliant parody of their sizzle video ...



And yet another "ouch" ...

Hahahahaha! Yeah, this might just shape up to being a legendary debacle with high entertainment value!

It all started with the mold/shell selection of the Atari Jaguar, a previously failed console of the past... This, ladies and gentlemen, essentially was the first "executive decision" from a "team" of gaming fans knuckleheads and that right there pretty much told you *all* that you needed to know about how this tale was going to end... :P

I seriously don't think these fools could deliver a Famiclone that could play Super Mario Bros.
