I applaud this level of introspective mea culpa. I wish all companies in this sector that have let customers down had the guts to be this candid and open.
I’ve just read the intro and watched the video and haven’t read any further yet…but everything I’ve seen so far has been absolutely, unmitigatedly freakin’ awesome.
Good for them. I just don’t get how this happened. I’d understand collecting the funds, stealing the money, and never make the game—it’d be scummy but at least I’d understand the motivation. But going to all the trouble of making the game and just never delivering it to people? Bizarre.
Anybody know which games these were? I’m just curious. I’m inferring that it’s not easy to find out which games these are, or else it would probably say it in this article.
Neat article! On a technical level, the Barbie character is very colorful for an NES sprite. It looks like she consists of two or three different sprites stuck together to bypass the four-color sprite limit of the system, no?
