To paraphrase: "We want a chunk of the $20 billion mobile games market, by hook or by crook!"

They come off sounding like tw@ts.

Not to mention the "who owns a Commodore machine nowadays anyway".

To me that's proof they don't know anything about retro games.

Odd, I've been able to do this for a while...

I see through the mist, a form, no it is a sign...  and it says, "Losers!"

Nice Boing ball graphic. They didn't do it themselves, they just snagged it off Aminet. I bet the artist wouldn't wanted it used in this way.

This can already be done via emulation so unless people are very foolish this campaign will sink beneath impending shark infested waves.

Eh, they have a goal to reach $100,000 to achieve something that has already be done; then I suspect they will charge for their product, when they copy something that it is already (in essence) free.  What could go wrong with that?

Addendum:  It does provide for some fresh fodder for the forums to revive that good old Amiga Sarcasm we (I) all know and love!

To be honest these items shouldn't be linked to. You're are just providing more google results and hits to their kickstarter.

Just leave it alone and let it fail.

I just don't really understand some of the members insistance that some things should not be mentioned because of, I don't know, evil?

How are we going to be able to learn anything new and reach valid conclusions about difficult topics regarding Amiga if all we can talk about are A600 RAM expansion cards?

Retroinfinity is part of WRIT Media group along with Amiga Games Inc.
(created by owner of Amiga Inc.) and Front Row Networks.They don't
want to make anything , they were not making anything for more than
a year now and trading stocks while promising great things.
