They have done much more with the Commodore & Amiga brands then anyone has done in the last 15 years.


Mmmm 15 years you say ??
In 1997 C= and Amiga got divorced at when Escom was dissolved.

C= went to Tulip,"C= gaming" someone did that C64-Webbit and lots of cheap crap labelled C= .... NotCUSA is right on track I would say.

The Amiga !BRAND! went GateWay who did sweet flirting nothing with, except to sell it to a bunch of (imcompetent) scamsters..... again NotCUSA comes quite close here (especially on the imcompetent part).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Ask them to sort out who owns the Amiga ROMs and WB3.1 while they're at it.  :D


VillageTronic !!! (which might actually be true .....)

Well I guess dammy is still not smelling the cheese ....


NotC=USA now admitted (long after there was anything to deny) that they never had that 30 million ad-budget and that it was just another barry-brain-f### (well technically that would require a brain ...).
Same goes for those major retailers stocking NotC=64s ....

Is the brand-sticker-market really bigger than real-retro ? I can see lots of Amigas and real C64s even without going to specific websites, while NotC=64-sightings aren down to 1 unboxing video on utube (what was posted by barry&co does not count).

Also the question never was wether the NotAmigaMini is high quality or not, but wether people will remember C= products as high-class or rather as "cheap plastic".

The NotAmigaMini seems more like the spec-monsters you see on sale at Aldi or Walmart, lots of GHZ plenty fancy stickers but in reality medicore components not working together forming a turd.
