Re: "I Wouldn't Change A Thing" - Nostalgia Nerd's Crowdfunded Arcade Bar 'Barcadia' Is No More

boatie

I don't really get the vitriol from people about this, he tried a bar had a kickstarter to try it and it failed... it happens all the time unfortunately. People wondering where the £25k went are woefully naive about how much it costs to run a business. It costs way more than that, this bar probably ran through it and ran out of money. It's a shame even if somebody could have predicted it, was still worth a shot and nobody forced anybody to contribute.

Re: Despite Its Recent "Rebirth", All Is Not Well In The World Of Commodore

boatie

Perifractic's "buying" of Commodore was always doomed because it's a simple vanity project in a legally complex subject. The reason why nobody wants to buy Commodore for a lot of money is because the legal complexities will cost so much money to sort out that you'll never get back by selling Commodore branded things. I feel sorry for anybody who "Angel Invested" their money away on this project but anybody with business sense could have told them something like this would happen.

Re: Retro Games Ltd Officially Unveils The Atari 400 Mini

boatie

Kind of a dud of a choice or me, tbh. The market is flooded with Atari nostalgia at the moment and anybody who has Atari nostalgia already has 4 or 5 plug and play emulators in their closets

I was really hoping for a Spectrum Mini tbh, but was expecting a A500 Maxi though.

Re: Feature: My Quest To Keep Video Game Magazines Alive Might Break Me

boatie

I used to subscribe to Switch Player and it was fine and nice to get something in the mail each month (and then eveyr other month) but it didn't really have anything unique to justify it. The reviews, not to disrespect those that wrote them, were just the kind you can read on any website, like NintendoLife, and the features were also the "Here's the history of ____" you get online as well. I don't know what the answer is to make it feel unique, but it just didn't for me.

Re: "Big News" Promised At Evercade's 2nd Anniversary Show

boatie

I have every Evercade cartridge and have a Founder's ed of the VS, but I still feel like a little momentum has been lost (partially of course out of their hands). The last carts have all been delayed, which is one thing, but there doesn't seem to be many new carts for the entire year so I hope there's a raft of updates on future carts.
