Cheetahmen II Kickstarter

[Rydian]

Plenty of people manage to start up a business making and selling them without begging for money from strangers and then expecting said strangers to also pay for the product that they just funded.

You do realize that "kickstarter" is a site to let people conglomerate on something that's done all the time? People fund startup businesses all the time. Hell, some rich people do it as a form of gambling, to see which ones get them a good return on their money or not.

Kickstarter is a site that lets normal users conglomerate to fund projects, instead of companies being limited to seeing funding from rich individuals or corporations.

"Begging for money from strangers" IS how many businesses start.

Only in this case its not really a business its just a one off run of carts. Your not funding an up and coming business and you wont see a return in profit in the future. Your just overpaying some guy to make stuff that hundreds do out of their basement. The fact that you need to donate at least $60 to get the game is ridiculous.

I take it this is the only kickstarter project you've seen? Projects there get funded all the time where people who chipped in for the funding still have to buy the product if they want it (with some of the projects offering discounts if you give higher amounts).

I think this project is kind of silly... but hey at least it has a clear goal lol I might think its dumb but thats just my opinion.

I did get many laughs from the Nerd reviewing the game though. So maybe this project is worth it if he will review the "fixed" copy. Might be worth a laugh just to hear him say "WTF!!!! This is the fixed version? It's like adding raisins to a turd it still taste the same!!!!" or something like that. lol

No I've seen plenty and their all bullshit

In cases where the "funding" is directly in return for the product for just yourself (as payment for parts and materials), the term is "commission"... like the guys who get commissioned to built those custom portable gamecubes and such.

You actually got James to respond to an email? Did you have to send him nudes first?

that place should be called scamstarter nearly every project on that site is a scam

They are 1/2 there. I'm guessing some of the money is going into the creation of more merchandise as well.
Like these.

Thinking about it, Active Enterprises were scamming from the very start.
They charged $200 for a cartridge holding 52 of the shoddiest games produced for the NES, unlicensed and all. Moreover they had a TV advert for this.

My parents actually bought that piece of shit for me. One of the capacitors blew on the board and blew a hole in the cartridge. I had to pick out tiny pieces of clear plastic out of my NES before any other games would fit.

Cheetahmen? More like Cheatermen.

so its $60 for the cart but he said

"CARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO PUBLIC , BUT MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE( THINK 3X AS MUCH)
THE DEAL FOR KICKSTARTERBACKERS IS REALLY SWEET!
THE GRAND TOTAL WILL BE LIMITED THOUGH TO KEEP THE VALUE UP NOW AND IN THE FUTURE.
GREG"

so hes planning on charging $180 for them after the project finishes

Their official website is the epitome of professional web design.

I love how on the ad they only show the two "good" games of the cartridge.

The 200$ were kinda justified (hardware), the cart was 2MB and the rom were extremely expensive back in the day.

I think someone else (retrousb?) should make repros for cheaper and kick those scammers in the balls.

Well, 'cause of the outrage, this may fail. Tho, they still have sometime to go.

I rather have the Zelda Kickstarter go well vs this.

Update: This has been funded, 71K with 8 days to go.

At least there is a little bit of justice and sanity in the world knowing the Giana Sisters Kickstarter is on the brink of being funded with about 3 days to go.
