I really don't endorse this and wouldn't back this myself in a million years, but it's kind of newsworthy so I'll post it here anyway. Seeing the Boing balled NASCAR car really reminds me of "The Amiga Center at Kent" ;)

Retro Infinity Inc and Amiga Games Inc are doing a kickstarter to raise $100.000 to create a "mobile player" for old Amiga (and Atari?) games:

..such an epic fail at 0:37 in the pitch video: "Because really, who has a Commodore computer anymore"

Because really, who do they think actually would be a possible backer of this? :nuts

Need more info.. Play game on your mobile phone & Tablet.. ?? I already do this. and play AMiga on my real Amiga like everyone else on here.

Is it emulation there using, what form of emulation if so?

clebin 13 September 2015 11:47

$30 for two average 25-year-old games running in an emulator. $100,000 to make minor modifications to UAE for games they already own the license for. Laughable.

I suspect a few only backed it to be able to leave a comment at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...layer/comments :)

Still, only $99.912 to go in 22 days ;)

Btw, the first comment (by Martin) is kind of interesting.

"Use this space to cheer the creator along, ask questions, and talk to your fellow backers. Please remember to be respectful and considerate. Thanks!"

People already tearing into them in the comments section. The "who has an Amiga anyway" comment will be a real brake-pad for this Kickstarter, but I wonder if it was intentional or if it just came out wrong.

Thalion 14 September 2015 21:35

This project is really a joke. 100k Dollars for really nothing new. Good news is this will never be backed successfully i think.

Bugala 15 September 2015 00:21

Interestingly Martins comment have been removed by kickstarter. For those who didnt see it, it was about "Hey everybody, I will soon release -something pretty much similar- and will give it to everyone for free"

I wonder if initiative to remove it was by kickstarter themselves, or was removal initiated by someone (the campaign manager)?

Adrian Browne 15 September 2015 04:51

Yeah, It's never gonna get anywhere near the sum they are looking for. 83.00 dollars so far and that does seem to be a few who wanna give em a swift kick in the ghoulies!!!;)

Kickstarter for Amiga/Atari Game Player
 
I wanted to share a new Kickstarter campaign with you all.

The goal is to re-release classic video games from the 80’s and 90’s via a player that works on mobile phones, tablets, and smart TVs. This includes 100s of popular games from Amiga, Atari and others.

You can learn more about it on the Kickstarter website: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...nfinity-player

Amiga1992 23 September 2015 05:34

No.

Bugala 23 September 2015 08:08

hmm.. 1 post, location Los Angeles... username vintagegamer82.. is it really possible this would be someone from Amiga i... i mean, Amiga games?

s2325 23 September 2015 08:14

but this MS Paint work is awesome

Locutus 23 September 2015 08:16

Please make it stop.

TCD 23 September 2015 09:14

Threads merged. Would be a bit much to expect somebody from Amiga Inc to use the search function ;)

Btw: 143$ already? Wow, you guys called in all favours from the family, didn't you?

Adrian Browne 23 September 2015 12:58

Sheesh... 143.00 dollars I get more than that per week from social welfare...
