For the King

Looks like one of those games you sit down to play for a couple of hours and you end up playing all day.

$50 gets you a physical Dreamcast copy.  Interesting.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

^^^  Really glad to hear that update.  Didn't have the funds to back the kickstarter, but I definitely need to get some of those cables when they start selling them.  Got a Scart to RGB set up now that works awesome, but it would be nice to have my Genesis looking that good with just the one cable instead of four.

Backed in a heartbeat! How unfortunate that it seems it won't get funded. I absolutely loved the TV series back when I was a kid. Oh them good ol' days.

Retro VGS

I know they didn't use Kickstarter (Indiegogo instead), but I still think it fits in with this subject.  I've been following this since the start.  While I want it to succeed, I just don't have enough confidence to put that much money at risk.  I feel that they've made so many mistakes along the way.  At least they've started to own up to some of those mistakes and they are calling the current campaign dead.  It looks like they are going to try and fix the issues that people were complaining about and start over. 

In my opinion, the biggest problem is that a lot of the momentum that was generated when this project first hit the internet is gone now.  I'm not sure that there is not enough consumer confidence to make this project work.

Hey Everyone! It’s clear, in its current state the RETRO VGS Indiegogo campaign is dead in the water and thusly will be shut down early. Once the Indiegogo team explains to us how we can do this, the plug will be pulled and all of you who have contributed will receive a refund post haste. Or you can go in and request a refund from Indiegogo right now.

 The good news is we aren’t giving up and have made some adjustments to our hardware team, which includes the involvement of other hardware gurus who were part of our venture in the very beginning. We will also be lowering the price while maintaining most of the cool features you all want.


 We will be back in the near future with a prototype RETRO VGS system, front-and-center playing our games on our cartridges and with our USB controller. Sit tight, be patient and RETRO VGS will return.

 Thanks again for your support, patience and understanding while we regroup and prepare for the relaunch of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.
