So 5 weeks have passed now and not a peep from this so-called Cinemaware (who actually have practically nothing in common with Keline Beck/James Sachs era of Rocket Ranger on A500 to be honest) and they can't even be bothered to read/reply to messages because their ludicrously overpriced kickstart target failed (surprise eh?)

Just because you don't make your millions you should really keep your promises to the community AND reply to messages at the very least.

F%&K the new fake Cinemaware, I want nothing more to do with this low life scum thanks.

Commodore died in 1994 as did ALL Amigas and it would appear 1991 was the last time REAL Cinemaware existed, not some fat german tw@t owning a brand name with his pocket money

Easy, tiger. Putting a smiley on a sentence calling someone a tw@t doesn't smooth out a harsh rant. You mentioned them not reading or replying to messages. I suppose you attempted to contact them? What were the points of your contact attempts?

What promises did they make to the community? As far as I knew they only promised to release the sources to the new Wings IF the Kickstarter project succeeded. Well, the Kickstarter didn't succeed so there's no promises they need to keep.

[persia]

Less than 1 out of three Kickstarter projects succeed....

[runequester]

I'd be curious about the ratio of kickstarters that get funded and then fail subsequently.

[haywirepc]

They only raised 50k of their 350k goal, but I seem to recall the goal was higher before?

shame, would have liked to see the game redone.

I do understand people being pissed off at any amiga grave robbers. Lots of people trying to get rich off of amiga legacy and it gets tiring after awhile.

Cinemaware games was overrated.

You are probably right, gameplay wasn't as groundbreaking as their gorgeous graphics, but still they made decent games (much better than the horrible AtariST ports other companies did)

Yes, the amiga version is better with more eyecandy but the playability is low on both, cinemaware games are from end 80s same as shadow of the beast by example and no comparision.

[Digiman]

I was pi$$ed off because they made a lot of noise, promised to answer some questions (one of the people there was from the original Amiga coding team) and just the fact you extend a hand in friendship and offer them plenty of free advice and even access to some talent to help their iOS/PC development but the day the kickstarter died they can't even be bothered to read a single message on multiple forums they registered on to promote their business idea on Kickstarter.

Yes I could have been more polite sure

As for the games being crap erm?! Rocket Ranger is very playable, Defender of the Crown II (or ST/C64 Defender of the Crown 1 come to that) also very playable, their sports games were quite nice (I had basketball) and ICFTD and Ant Heads were also quite playable. Wings can get repetitive sure with only 3 different sub games. These games were very playable I thought, it's not just down to the graphics (Never played Sinbad or SDI).

@digiman

ok your taste, but there are better games in that time... and play old games on tactile devices isnt a nice experience.

I really don't get kickstarters.
If you believe in your product, then go ahead a make it. I guess you would only ask for a kickstart, if you feel your product sucks.

Of course, just snap your fingers and the materials magically appear along with money to pay the help, cover licensing, facilities, utilities, transportation, and such! If your product doesn't suck then everything is free and available, right?

It's an alternative to a bank loan. Do businesses that need bank loans all suck?

Or if YOU really believe in your product, but the bank doesn't. ;-)
