That Tobias f--k went after Xak III and SO II as pressed CD-ROM releases!

[turboswimbz]

Looks like inkjet covers and cdr discs. Makes Tobias' products seem like a good deal by comparison.

Yeah, but a few that he "updated" look better maybe, I can't tell much from my computer screen. I assume they are CDRs.  and as far as value if your getting repo shit might as well get cheap shit. serves you right.

You can point out bullshit and make fun of people who spend premium money for printed-discs with fan translations, but you're not going to stop those poor saps who have a fetish for plastic and cardboard. Sometimes it's better to laugh at the fool parting with his money - especially if it's a mega-swindle like the epic saga neo-geo's Aero Fighters 3 Debacle.

I remember that. They even tricked international gaming mags into running the bogus story. I love my AES but I stay far away from that community. Every time I went to NG.com bitd it felt like I was walking into a seedy bar from any 80s action movie. You know the kind; full of eye patch wearing, cigar smoking martial arts thugs.

If you think that's bad, keep in mind that NG.com is (mostly) the good guys! It's very rare for a massive scam like that to come from a trusted forum member (as it did with AF3). Usually they are setting the record straaight and busting suckers.

I hope your right. The more I spent there back then the more the vibe changed. Of course, it could've just been my over-sensitivity to that kind of stuff.

Speaking of Repo's anyone have one of these?

I don't have any but I've seen the site before.  $20 seems high for a full manual and good print quality, and I'm not sure he's delivering on either.

LOL i believe a bunch of them don't have manuals.  But I've seen that Dynastic hero back reused to try to pass off a DH as real.  only reason I was wondering about them and if they were actually any good.

They're like any other repro.   high price for low effort.

Used for shelf fodder collector's high placebo effects by people who don't know how to burn a CD, or use Kinko's Online services.

[Gredler]

... or use Kinko's Online services.

Is that a thing? Do they burn images better than a home cdr?

[seieienbu]

I'm pretty sure that he's talking about the manuals...

^^^^^^^^^^^^

The repros were currently talking about are some other dude making CD-Rs with corny print jobs.

AKA: Stuff you could do yourself for basically nothing.

Kinkos will print and cut a PDF of a manual for hardly anything.  They'll even staple it.



I cringe when people pay 20$+ for someone else to burn a CD and jankily print stuff off.    It's a little different when there's some sort of perk or something, like those Electrohaze remasters where he did SOMETHING aside from copy a disc.

Nobody in 2017 should be paying 20$ for someone else to burn a fuckin CD-R and print like 1$ worth of stuff unless they like, don't own a CD-Burner (wtf), or have no way to get to Kinkos.

I've just gotten used to the idea that we will most likely never see anymore CD game translations because of Tobias stealing translations. It sucks, but it is what it is. Doubt he will stop anytime soon unless there is some legal recourse that can be taken. I'm perfectly fine with him making and selling repros to whoever may want them but steeling translated works for money is just downright wrong.

I wonder if we will not be seeing future translated HU card games as well because of the repro Hu cards some other people are making now. I've seen a few translated ones floating around.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Yeah, he might stop if pieces of shit quit supporting him.

but, that ain't happening because people are stupid.

Yeah, more likely to find a real unicorn playing hop scotch with big foot.
