View Full Version : ChrisR vs. Bobak - A real debate

11-09-2003, 09:52 PM
[EDITOR'S NOTE: Attacked by the Neo Community and now legally attacked by SNK, the "brains" of NGF decides to challenge a mod to a debate. Be careful what you wish for...]
In order to really understand what happened with the court case, I wanted to call out the #1 source if mis-information on this board. Resident legal student bobak seems to think he understands the law, and this case - without ever being involved.
If you really think you can handle a fact-based debate - 1 on 1, then I am willing to even do it here, at the capital of propaganda. I am so confident in my position that I am stepping up here to challenge you to a 1 on 1 debate, without the distractions of the crybabies.
I propose we use this thread, and debate based on the facts. Only you and I should be able to post in this thread. Presentation and rebuttal until all positions are cleared or someone gives up.
What an interesting debate:
On one side you have bobak -
legal student at USC - president of his law class no less...
moderator of this board
champion of the whiners here
On the other you have ChrisR -
Purdue University graduate
over 10 years of REAL experience in the corporate world.
NGF co-founder and defendant in the case
Its a debate I know I can never lose. Can you stand up to the heat of a 1 on 1 fact based debate without the needless inclusion of posts by the crybabies?
I am here on your "turf" and I am looking forward to embarrassing you in this debate, and hope you are man enough to admit your positions were incorrect. If your even going to accept the challenge.
Rules:
One of us makes a post, the other responds. The thread continues until we are done. If anyone else posts in the thread, I will not respond until the post is deleted - even it is supporting my position. The end should produce a clear picture of the facts.
I will even let you go first.
Also, I say each person should get up to 2 days to respond, as my schedule is very busy and it may take that amount of time. If it takes a week or a month it doesnt matter to me...
You can even brainstorm your responses with all of your aspiring lawyer buddies.
Let me know if your up to it by sticky threading this to the top and making your opening post.
We can even call it - Purdue vs. USC...

Billy Joe probably has a higher IQ going for him as well.

Official ass humper.
Unoriginal bastard that has taken all of his 10 years of
REAL experience and his Purdue University gradute status
and made it a joke.
I hate you, Bobak is a good man, he doesnt make carts and say that they are from snk, he doesnt sale boots, he isnt being sued by playmore.

This whole posting really changes nothing. Facts are you guys were selling illegally reproduced games and copywrited material why before you may have managed to get Someone at SNK to sign off on a piece of paper during the Bankruptcy. Not to mention the countless other misrepresentations I will not bother to get into here.
Congratulations all this and your in no better position then a few years back.. I am just ecstatically glad that whatever rights you may have had are finally turned back where they are supposed to be. Keep the dream alive though and keep those oh so well informed posts coming :)

As neo-geo.com's token Psychology student...I'm backing Bobak...and I suggest ChrisR seek therapy...he's definitally suffering from delusions of importance/intellegence.
Why am I not entirely surprised to see this still going?
Ah well, here's more for all those following this:

Ah, irony.
Actually, ChrisR, that award goes to your own partner in crime, Dion. But with that said, you come pretty damn close.
...and that statement can be backed by many members of this board. Still, I've been told by many people that watching you two get pummelled by facts is comedy gold in the Neo Community, so here we begin anew:

My, oh my. While those new to the community (who are unfamiliar with the scamming of ChrisR and Dion Dakis) may not see the humor in this, everyone else knows exactly how funny this statement this is coming from a person who's old neo-geo related website www.♥♥♥♥♥♥.com is the capital of propoganda.
Still, I don't want to leave the new folks out: Try and go on the forums of his website... Oh wait, you have to get "approved" first (approved means "you have to have no idea that they have a history of scamming, and if you do (and especially if you dare bring it up) no free speech for you!". ChrisR and Dion have a history of never letting the other side speak. Ironically, that means ChrisR actually has to come onto our board in order to get a balanced conversation since I wouldn't be permitted on his (which has only been updated sporatically since they were dragged into court).

Listen, to have debate you have to have compelling sides. There is no real position for you take. no one belives you. In fact, I challenge one legit member (and Mak doesn't count) to come out and say "I think ChrisR could be right". Heck, Geddon_jt is also a law student, although I think he's been away for a while, I'd love to hear his take on this.

What a silly move, you really don't know my background do you?
I didn't go directly into law school (at Minnesota, but like my undergrad alma mater USC [first tier undergrad], UMN's a top-20 law school nonetheless).
I haven't worked 10 years, but the sad thing is I've lived more in 3 than you have in a decade. Still, I'll just cut to the most relevant bit (since it's more relevant than your 10 years):
- Summer associate at Chain, Younger, Cohen & Stiles (a law firm, oh -and that means I've actually written successful legal motions and seen injunctions levied on people)

As I mentioned above, his site doesn't permit this kind of "free speech" (with ChrisR, you get what you pay for).
What ChrisR hasn't picked up on is, by participating in all these debates with me, he's actually helping seal his own legacy as an untrustworthy seller to even more members of the Neo Community. I dunno, it's one things to watch the manic depressive Makismo keep stumbling into the fire... but ChrisR? They must be really desparate. Alas, I digress.

ChrisR
Yawn.
The game already happened. USC beat Purdue, at the Coliseum, back in 1998 - I know, I was there.
ChrisR, no matter what you say, regardless of what point you make, there's nothing more to be said that I haven't already basted you with in the other threads and responses.
The entire argument, put succinctly:
You guys just had a choke-chain put on your neck by SNK-P in the form of a Permanent Restraining order.
The Neo-Store doesn't have one. Neither does S-C.com. Why? Because they didn't try to cheat the company.
You can claim that your little "Scarlet Injunction" means something good, but it's no dice. No one, and this is a practical legal truth, no one gets an injunction levied against them unless they did something to warrant a whole lot of legal interest. If your case was absolutely innocent, it would have been dismissed.
Actually, to an extent, ChrisR may have gotten the best deal he could've by "only" getting the choke chain put around his neck since the alternative, going to court, would've probably spelled doom.
Chris and Dion.... the dark side of the Neo Geo.....
It's so fucking cool to finally see these two shit bags rot....
:tickled:
I LOVE IT!!

First of all, I must admit that I'm new to this forum. Next, I've never had any dealings with anyone on this forum, which includes Bobak, ChrisR and Dion.
I've read as many threads as I could find on the Neo-Geo forums and anything I could find on the NGF site concerning this case, as well as the permanent injunction and the press release due to a personal interest in legal matters.
As for an introduction and an explanation for my interest in this, I have both a university degree in penal law as well as civil law. I'm currently busy with my degrees in corporate law and international management. Next to that I have several years of experience in corporate management. I live in the Netherlands, so even though I might not have the best insight in American legal matters, I have taken several courses on this subject matter.
And even I, with no actual stance in the matter based on personal feelings, have to take side with Bobak in this "discussion", if it can be called that. While not one of ChrisR's explanations have, in both my personal as well as my professional opinion, any basis in the reality of any legal system, I have found Bobak's analysis very interesting and ,more important, right on target.
It takes a brave man to admit when he has lost, and unfortunately, even to me this is clear, ChrisR is not a brave man in this matter.

Chris Ray VS Bobak? Are you FKN kiddin' me? A theiving ass,lying noob status loser who threw himself at the mercy of the courts vs a respected mod who specializes in the law field.
Who the FCK is CRay to come on these forums and call out somebody?? Damn if we could ever do such a thing on NEOGANDA.COM
Get this through your MEAT HEAD Chris!! You are a hasbeen,nobody gives a FCK about your spin anymore. The JIG is up...there is no mystery surrounding NGF as to whether you were legitimate or not. SNK-P have the final nail to seal your fate if you should ever cross them again by selling counterfeit merchandise.
The only way you can prove you beat the case is to go back to selling Neo Geo corrected items which you'll never do which PROVES beyond a shadow of a doubt,you lost the court case!
SPARE US the BS Chris because NGF is FINISHED and
I LOVE IT!

Is that "other systems" bit directed at me ? Most likely...
I rarely ever talk about other systems here...
I take it you're mostly refering to the PS2 port thing... Then I invite you to also refer to what Bobak told you at this occasion:
"Too_Short has no idea what this site is about, and really hasn't for the past year or so that I've bothered to read his posts. This is a video game site by Neo Geo fans, but we're not in any way implying that it requires some sort of die hard "fanboyist" devotion. We're dedicated to keeping the Neo Geo alive while having some good discussions."
Also, you've been basically calling me a boot/ROM lover ever since I made a statement about the Neo CDZ having a protection against burnt CDs...
You should come up with something new and more consistant.

Yeah, no need to make yourself look like a fool any longer Bobak. All the people of the NGF clan are on the side on Chris Ray. I for one stand behind Chris Ray and I will never stand behind you in anything. You mess up my petition and make it sound like I am doing it for show but I am doing it for everyone. I can't expect someone like you to understand since the only person that you ever think about is yourself. You don't care about anyone here. You go and play with your law friends. None of them have good muscle tone anyway. In a fist fight Chris Ray could beat you hands down and that's a fact. So play god all you like here on this board but you are a big zero in my book. :angry:

bobak being a fool? to me, the only person making a fool out of himself is chrisR by obviously twisting around what happened in court....
whatever relationship you, dion and chrisR have is one thing, but to say chrisR is right in this matter and bobak is blowing smoke up everyones asses is just plain rediculous.

I see bobak is closer to being a real lawyer than I thought. I am more than happy to call you the coward, but you are just holding up the long tradition of your possible future profession. Lawyers hate facts, and fact based debate. Playmore lawyers REALLY hated the facts, and found no way to spin them, so it was NGF-PRA as usual.
You can lie all you want about your bitter feelings about the truth of the case, which is it was 2 people with zero experience in the legal world not only defended themselves, but extracted more than you will ever care to admit from the Plaintiffs. It stings bad, real bad.
Yes, there will be another 10 or 20 posts from the 5 crybabies here saying how you "owned" me or whatever the cool term is these days, but the FACTS are the hundreds that read this thread will read it with an objective mind, no matter how hard you want to prevent that.
I can laugh at every post in this thread, or any other, because I know the wider audience is reading and understanding, even if they are afraid to say-so in this "hostile" and juvenile environment.
So enjoy your frozen winter up north. The last time I was at UM was when I was COMPETING in the Big Ten Track championships. Now I watch Purdue beat them every year on TV, but hey, thats just football.

Ah well, here's more for all those following this:
Ah, irony.
Actually, ChrisR, that award goes to your own partner in crime, Dion. But with that said, you come pretty damn close.
...and that statement can be backed by many members of this board. Still, I've been told by many people that watching you two get pummelled by facts is comedy gold in the Neo Community, so here we begin anew:
My, oh my. While those new to the community (who are unfamiliar with the scamming of ChrisR and Dion Dakis) may not see the humor in this, everyone else knows exactly how funny this statement this is coming from a person who's old neo-geo related website www.♥♥♥♥♥♥.com is the capital of propoganda.
Still, I don't want to leave the new folks out: Try and go on the forums of his website... Oh wait, you have to get "approved" first (approved means "you have to have no idea that they have a history of scamming, and if you do (and especially if you dare bring it up) no free speech for you!". ChrisR and Dion have a history of never letting the other side speak. Ironically, that means ChrisR actually has to come onto our board in order to get a balanced conversation since I wouldn't be permitted on his (which has only been updated sporatically since they were dragged into court).
Listen, to have debate you have to have compelling sides. There is no real position for you take. no one belives you. In fact, I challenge one legit member (and Mak doesn't count) to come out and say "I think ChrisR could be right". Heck, Geddon_jt is also a law student, although I think he's been away for a while, I'd love to hear his take on this.
What a silly move, you really don't know my background do you?
I didn't go directly into law school (at Minnesota, but like my undergrad alma mater USC [first tier undergrad], UMN's a top-20 law school nonetheless).
I haven't worked 10 years, but the sad thing is I've lived more in 3 than you have in a decade. Still, I'll just cut to the most relevant bit (since it's more relevant than your 10 years):
- Summer associate at Chain, Younger, Cohen & Stiles (a law firm, oh -and that means I've actually written successful legal motions and seen injunctions levied on people)
As I mentioned above, his site doesn't permit this kind of "free speech" (with ChrisR, you get what you pay for).
What ChrisR hasn't picked up on is, by participating in all these debates with me, he's actually helping seal his own legacy as an untrustworthy seller to even more members of the Neo Community. I dunno, it's one things to watch the manic depressive Makismo keep stumbling into the fire... but ChrisR? They must be really desparate. Alas, I digress.
Yawn.
The game already happened. USC beat Purdue, at the Coliseum, back in 1998 - I know, I was there.
ChrisR, no matter what you say, regardless of what point you make, there's nothing more to be said that I haven't already basted you with in the other threads and responses.
The entire argument, put succinctly:
You guys just had a choke-chain put on your neck by SNK-P in the form of a Permanent Restraining order.
The Neo-Store doesn't have one. Neither does S-C.com. Why? Because they didn't try to cheat the company.
You can claim that your little "Scarlet Injunction" means something good, but it's no dice. No one, and this is a practical legal truth, no one gets an injunction levied against them unless they did something to warrant a whole lot of legal interest. If your case was absolutely innocent, it would have been dismissed.
Actually, to an extent, ChrisR may have gotten the best deal he could've by "only" getting the choke chain put around his neck since the alternative, going to court, would've probably spelled doom.

The facts are, you lost. Why can't you sell your freaked shit anymore? Oh wait, that would be against your permanent injunction! THAT is a really hard fact, huh?
And can you answer another question, why hasn't Playmore changed the game listing on their site yet? Oh wait, that's because that is the CORRECT list! My mistake.
One more question, what's up with the US KOF 2K? Can I still buy one of those? Oh wait, you don't seem to be allowed to sell THAT bootleg either!
One final question, if this place is really so bad, why come back? I mean, why lower yourslef to such pitiful standards and post on such a worthless and meaningless board full of kiddie members who are no where near the greatness of your excellency? Oh wait, my mistake, you're just another fucked up piece of internet trash!

Chris-
I've read your posts objectively willing to see what you had to say. Unfortunately as it has held in the past, it is very little.
To think that the majority of the Neo Geo community would in any sense agree with the things you have said and believe you are right, do not hold true.
Let us just say for a moment you are indeed correct in your assertations that you "won" against Playmore.
Explain why then you have had a Permanent Injunction held against you and Dion? You are prohibited from selling most Neo Geo cartridges in any shape form or way, as well as other things. With the sole exception of the 10 or so titles you actually had legiitimate agreements with the old SNK to distribute. This was a small select few titles, so this is hardly any sort of victory.
Secondly, explain why you had to pay a $5,000 bond?
You know, it really is sad when a grown man cannot accept what has happened. I think you and Dion are in shock pretty much over what happened with SNK-Playmore. The two of you danced around without any sort of threat from the SNK Corporation in previous years. I could understand why the two of you would deny things happening the way they did because you still are having trouble believing the game company you were passionate for swiftly put an end to everything you two have done.
Let's not kid anyone, yours and Dion's reputations were destroyed long before this debacle which pretty much has sealed your fate in the Neo world. I have never seen two people who would be so insistent on being true loyal Neo fans try and use a hobby for their own personal gains. A true Neo Geo fan would never have defaced games especially given the rarity as you two did. You destroyed numerous copies of games that were valuable and had a chance to get into people's hands unblemished. A true fan would have sold the games without defacing them. A true fan would not have destroyed inserts and offered "corrected" inserts in place of it. Regardless of what inaccuracies the games held, they should have been left as is because that is the way they came from the factory, and that is the way people want it regardless of spelling errors or coloring errors. I really fear to see what would happen if the two of you managed to get ahold of a couple of the RPO L-88 427 Corvette Stingrays, what would you do correct the HP ratings to the advertised 430 as opposed to the true 560HP?
Keep in mind Chris when you bought out the SNK stock of home carts, that could have been NGF's chance to become something of meaning in this hobby. Instead you took a name of a Japanese Neo Geo publication and ruined that name. Automatically when people hear "Neo Geo Freak" they think of all of the things that you and Dion did to ruin this hobby. If you would stop trying to delude yourself into thinking you did nothing wrong and take a step back to objectively view why people dislike NGF then maybe you would see the truth.
The bottom line is you and Dion have no class. If you did perhaps the two of you would openly admit to the public that you guys fucked up big time and got what you had coming to you by way of SNK. It's funny how you guys try to act like cool men, but in reality you are hardly men, if you really were you would have the balls to admit NGF finally got caught and paid the price. But you would rather try and continue to spin everything in an attempt to try and save what integrity you think you have left, but believe me all that integrity left you a long time ago.
Stay away from this hobby, you effectively ruined portions of it. Understand you are not welcome by anyone but the select few who decided you did no wrong and are blind to the truth. You thought you were above the law and could not get caught. You did, stings like a bitch don't it?
In the end remember, what goes around comes around.

Something that isn't clear to me is why, in the face of such wide spread hatred, you seem determined to continue to poke at the bear who mauls you. Even if you could defeat this "bear", do you really think that it would achieve anything? It takes an admirable amount of determination to continue to fight a battle you can never win, but more admirable is the courage it takes to admit defeat. At the very least, for your own sanity, I would recommend you just walk away. Whether their reasons be justified or not, these people will never like you. It would appear that they will never even tolerate you. Why do you continue to try to prove them wrong? If you truly know that you are right, that should be moral victory enough.

This is exactly the kind of misconceptions that do the damage, and the very reason I will take the time to respond.
You think we are prohibited from selling neo geo games? This is certainly not the case. I can today, tomorrow, or next year sell ANY eno geo game ever made (including protos). What the permanent injunction says is Dion or I cannot sell any INFRINGING ITEMS. It is stating the obvious, as you cannot sell infringing items either. But the reason this is down on paper for us is we agreed to no longer reproduce/repackage/release the games we had previously purchased the rights to do from SNK Japan. Which means if we manufactured additional neo geo products and sold them they would NOW (NOT WERE!!!!!) be infringing items, and therefore we would be held liable. Think about this, if you were a company that just spent a LARGE amount of money to recover an asset, wouldnt you want more than a promise that you were getting what you paid for?
So, in summary, yes we can sell any games we currently own. We can purchase more games and resell them. We can do whatever we want as long as we reproduce ADDITIONAL product. ALL CURRENT PRODUCT is 100% authorized and recognized as legit. It is 100% legal for a consumer that owns an NGF title to resell the game. Playmore has NO rights to these games, and they are protected as games produced when we owned the rights. Please ask Playmore.
Also, the updated list will go up soon. I have asked them to take the old list down as it has caused more harm than good.
Also, the $5000 bond was put up by Playmore to introduce the lawsuit. After the settlement they asked for it back. It was not NGF money.
These are the facts, believe them or not, but you did get your answers. Hopefully, others that wondered did as well.
Thanks,

To answer your question, which seems obvious - why would I come here knowing I will be attacked.
Well, I am certainly not an attention hound, or do I actually worry about what the crybabies say, but I do enjoy getting my point of view out - in even this hostile environment. I am more than confident enough in myself not to worry about people calling me names or making pictures, videos, or audio tributes to NGF. I think some of them are really really funny. So, probably the biggest reason I make posts is I may happen to have the time, and also because I know it really burns up the people that are doing their best to discredit Dion and I for no other reason then the fact we tell the truth, do what we say, get the job done, and enjoy our lives outside the neo geo. Its amazing people can be that obsessed with what I call "blind fury", but it happens here daily! This is a place where a few, and mostly nerdy type kids (the people that post the most, and admin the site), find comfort in doing things they cant in real life. I dont begrudge them for that, but do have to level the playing field by making sure the masses understand.
I hope this answers your questions.
Thanks,

What the permanent injunction says is Dion or I cannot sell any INFRINGING ITEMS. It is stating the obvious, as you cannot sell infringing items either.
Of course, to be slapped with a Permanent Injunction telling you the obvious is just as telling. One thing for those new to this: Filing a frivilous motion (like an injunction) is ground for sanctions... but SNK-P was allowed to slap an injunction for something "obvious" on Mr. Ray and Mr. Dakis. Now think to yourself: Did they do anything to warrant that? In the eyes of the Court: Yes. It's amazing what blemishs can be made without wasting the money on going to trial.
Still, I've compiled a brief backgrounder for newer readers to this saga:
HISTORY LESSON:
(A) As everyone in the Neo Community who remembers the heyday of NGF can tell you, they made their name on two things:
----(1) selling "ultra rare" games, these were games that were never released on home cart. Of course, to create these games they had to create conversions of the MVS cartridge and then make a new home cart case (complete with infringing insert). Did NGF ever have permission to make these? No. A certain "Shock Troopers 1" home cartridge, made by NGF, is what landed them in this lawsuit to begin with.
----(2) they would "correct" inserts (seriously, that's what they'd call it). By "Correcting" inserts they would take your old insert, destroy it (there are pictures of these two shredding them), and replace with a new "corrected" insert created by the NGFers. of course, this was all an infringement because they never had permission to create new inserts for any SNK-P game they wanted.
(B) NGF made a very large portion of their business on those two aspects. They took advantage of their homebrew inserts and rare games in order to ask for unreal prices (yes, even for this hobby). Were they worth the money? Well, ask someone on this board to pay the amount you paid them and see what happens.
(C) They would claim that everything they did was permitted by SNK, but as the lawsuit proves, that definitely wasn't the case: NGF got permission to do a narrow group of things, but then tried to milk it for their own gain, only to get the ire of SNK-P,
THUS:
This Permanent Injunction amounts to a very tight leash that SNK-P may now pull whenever it sees something it doesn't like.

Yawn... All Mr. Ray is saying here is that they can sell anything that they didn't infringe. Well "lad-dee-dah", that's an obvious statement.
Since their business used to deal with a lot of infringing "corrected" inserts, this means that they now have to just sell things at lower prices than the crazy amounts they wanted for their infringed versions of games.

NGF is on such a tight noose that you damn well better believe that they can't sell bad games. What's there is okay otherwise SNK-P's taking a nice swift tug on their shiny new choke chain.

You and what Injunction against them? It doesn't sound like you're on their good graces. Besides, since they posted it half of the Neo Community downloaded it, so it'll live for posterity.

I'm not disputing this last part. Other than your own costs, whatever they may be, I don't doubt SNK-P had to pay the filing fees.

The verdict is in... Chris Ray is too stupid to realize nobody gives two sh8ts about NGF anymore. SNK-P has ruined your street cred once and for all.. and I am overjoyed!! There is absolutely nothing else to doubt as even the neutral parties who've chimed in realize that you are delusional.
There is no way to put a spin on the LIFE TIME probation that SNK-P has dished out. This means you will forever roam this community with targets on your back!! If it is ever discovered that you two have decided to start distributing games with your nasty stickers and corrected inserts,you will go straight to prison...so right now Mr.Ray,I would like you to make a challange!
I DARE YOU TO SELL ME A NGF KOF 2000!
How naive of a person with "noob status" like yourself would believe he could come into "the badlands" and twist the truth.
You're a real FOOL! A human pinata if you will ,to dare respond.
Give my best to the Freak Family will ya?:D

Playmore has NO rights to these games, and they are protected as games produced when we owned the rights. Please ask Playmore.
Interesting. So you previously owned the rights to games and could legally produce and sell your own inserts, do conversions etc, but now you cannot (with the exception of the few games in the infamous list) following the legal action Playmore took? You can however sell games with inserts etc you produced yourselves prior to said legal action being taken. Is that right?
How come Playmore could just revoke your rights to those games then? Because they bought out SNK and their intellectual property?
Back for more, eh?
This is all comedy gold, really.

Because, as anybody who's seen them operate since (in my case) 1998 will tell you: They love being in the middle, even when they're being nailed with the embarrassing truth. People did that to them when they discovered the home carts they were passing off as legit were really MVS conversions, and when they revealed that their "corrected" home cart inserts were not worth the paper they were printed on (except to SNK-P, but that's already obvious at this point).

So, probably the biggest reason I make posts is I may happen to have the time, and also because I know it really burns up the people that are doing their best to discredit Dion and I for no other reason then the fact we tell the truth, do what we say, get the job done, and enjoy our lives outside the neo geo.
Try this explanation on for size: ChrisR and Dion have a lot of leftover games that they'd like to sell without people who know their history pointing at them and yelling "LOOK OUT FOR THOSE TWO!". Well, this is his pathetic attempt to try and look "legit".

I hope this answers your questions.
Thanks,

Of course, as you can guess, they've been rather big assholes through the years -Dion more than Chris, fair is fair, since Dion used to be their spokesperson but was very inarticulate. Chris is more articulate but his arguments are all based on the same faulty logic that Dion's did.
What eats them up is that they've forever been branded as the Duo that was "Sued by SNK-P" and they have that shiney noose around their necks.
So, in a way, maybe they can sell things without the purchaser worrying (with their annoying stickers, but those are legal). If they ever sell another bad thing, the buyer can just ask the crowd at NG.com or S-C.com, and if its a bad cart... just tell ol' SNK-P and "yank" goes the noose.
This is what the Neo Community has wanted for a long time: A neutered "talk only" NGF :)

Anyone needing proof of the kind of thieving and lying scum Dion Dakis is - check out my post below from a while ago detailing how Dion did a chargeback and stole $150 from me on games he begged me to sell him:
http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=59447
It's a shame Dion doesn't have the time to post on these forums, yet has the time and energy to bug all 10 of the people left on DHP with his propaganda. Honestly, I've seen better from Brezhnev. :shame:
Sincerely,
Mikhail

What the permanent injunction says is Dion or I cannot sell any INFRINGING ITEMS. It is stating the obvious, as you cannot sell infringing items either. But the reason this is down on paper for us is we agreed to no longer reproduce/repackage/release the games we had previously purchased the rights to do from SNK Japan. Which means if we manufactured additional neo geo products and sold them they would NOW (NOT WERE!!!!!) be infringing items, and therefore we would be held liable. Think about this, if you were a company that just spent a LARGE amount of money to recover an asset, wouldnt you want more than a promise that you were getting what you paid for?
Well then I have ONE question, why are you the ONLY business here that even NEEDS to have Playmore to tell you the "obvious" of not selling bootlegs? Can you please answer that one?
My theory is this: Playmore offered settlement saying that so long as you stopped selling "repackaged" (ie. "corrected" inserts) games and only sold LEGIT carts, your partner Dion and yourself decided that rather than have it come to light that you were doing illegal sales and have been fined up to $250,000 PER sale of a bootleg (which would be a sizeable amount that even selling the blue porsche could not cover), you would just accept the injunction.
This is all speculation of course, but I'm 99% positive that this is what happened.

The retardation of why you're posting here Chris other than to drag attention to yourself is really fucking sad.
Also to those of you who do buy MVS/Home carts I should add that buying the carts from the 2ndary aftermarket even tho you love Neo*Geo games does not show you supporting Playmore.
I've gotten into this arguement before with people buying MVS and Home Carts after they were released years ago and some people still don't get that the only way you're going to be able to show any support is to buy the games new on release.
That's where the real support comes from. Hell I wouldn't be surprised that half of the high cost is due to HK Bootleggers dumping teh romz on the net so nobody will have to pay for em. That among other things more or less.
Buying shit from Chris Ray or Dion Dakis is now more or less you showing support to only one thing.
Them.

Buying used games is still kinda a way of supporting the company, but to a little extent only...
Like, someone may buy a new game knowing he'll be able to sell it later, if he wants to...
If no one was buying used games (which of course will never happen), probably fewer people would buy brand new games... :p

Will it be as sweet as all those times you and your balding, sissy self took it from behind from a coked-up Dion? Will it be as wonderful as that? Will it be as sweet as those daisy dukes you seem to favor? I don't see how a "press release" on your own tired website could be as sweet as your nelly shorts and a hairy crack-out man-stud like Dion.

- remember everyone, in law, just because there was a settlement, no guilt or innocence is established. You instead look to see who lost out. SNK-P now has a Permanent Injunction around the neck of NGF... who came out with an advantage? SNK-P: They can now instantly nail NGF for any more monkey business (as that NGF Bible shows, monkey business was their business)

Well, if you were dumb enough to sign it, well that's your fault.
If you knew you were totally innocent, you could've
(a) filed a motion for summary judgment and had the whole thing dismissed for a variety of reasons
or
(b) let it go to trial, be found innocent, then nail them for court costs.
But you didn't, you agreed to the Permanent Injunction. You picked the noose.

Wow, so now you say that being dragged into court is something that cannot happen to an innocent party? If that was the case the lawyer section in the phonebook would only be 10 pages, instead of 100.
I actually want to formally thank the persistan crybabies that probably emailed Playmore HUNDREDS of times trying to convince them NGF has done wrong. Without your support we would have never been able to return our long-used rights back to a company for a lucrative settlement. I really couldnt of dreamed it would all end up like this.... To use the rights for all those years, selling thousands upon thousands of carts, and just when the stock is about dry, to be able to move those now not so worthwhile assets back - incredible.
I won't be. Proove to me, in writing, that you had the express permission of SNK (or SNK-P) to sell an altered home cartridge vesion of the US Shock Troopers 1 and then you can hang it up there for everyone to see. Original copy scan.

If a highly acclaimed international law firm didnt want to go to trial against 2 people with no legal experience, that says it all right there?
Again, the case is dismissed. We could have easily run this case out for the next year and gone to trial, but to what end? We would have been vindicated and still had the rights.... Big deal. With the way it was worked, we were still vindicated, AND moved the rights back to Playmore. It all adds up to a bitter pill for you, and another opportunity to use the obvious - NGF-PRA.
Its your own fault. If everyone would have beleived from day 1 about our rights, you could have saved Playmore MUCH money.
On a side note, why not ask Joe how much stock I have left last time he was at my house? I have none.

It is not a competition. NGF isnt trying to sell neo geo games. We have already sold more games than any retailer in the history of the neo geo. Game over. The stock is gone, what is left but the new titles? Others can carry the torch that NGF lit years ago, with our blessing. Maybe one day the circle of life will complete and Playmore will go bankrupt and we will liquidate them?

I like how you keep hinting that you in some way benefitted from SNK-P getting rights to their products.
If they paid you to regain the rights, say it. Don't be a pussy and allude to it with these vague references. You seem to be pushing the agenda that you got something beneficial after the rights you supposedly paid for were no longer of any value anyway. So which is it.
Did you get money or goods for relinquishing rights you previously enjoyed? If so, say it.
Perhaps the "win" for you is that you get a warm fuzzy feeling that SNK-P has all the rights back that you so generously kept safe from everyone. Man, I have been wrong all this time. You guys really are heroes.
Or was it rather SNK-P, as a new entity and owner of all former SNK property, told you two pricks, "This is our shit now. We paid for it. You fuck with it and you get the pimp stick." For some reason, I am thinking the latter is the case. What you "got" was an out and a collar.
[edit]
Oh, and I might add that none of what any official entity posts anywhere will change the fact that you and Dion are liars through and through. All one has to do is skim the DHP record to see time after time Dion changing his stories, contradicting himself and just flat out lying about things that are verifyable by anyone at this time.

I know you are not the so-called Dion, but i would like to hear your about that:
Dion had made his own fake Shock Troopers 2 cart, US version (complete with fake US sticker), and tried to pass it off as a "rare" official release that only he had received.
I thought is was forbidden to reverse engeneer, convert, etc...

Chimp, where would I ever be without ya?!!?!?!? ;)
The majority of ChrisR's post was either a rehash of earlier arguments or completely hole-ridden argumentation. However, I will get a kick out of blasting holes through this stuff:
Originally posted by chrisr
If a highly acclaimed international law firm didnt want to go to trial against 2 people with no legal experience, that says it all right there?
"Highly Acclaimed"... Okay, hate to burst your bubble (or SNK-P's, for that matter), but that law firm they used is not very impressive. With that said, they're competent since they got themselves a golden noose.
What does that mean?
Well, I'll flesh it out some more for our readers, assuming most haven't gone to trial on something like this, here's info on basic legal economics:
- Dion and Chris are two relatively small time crooks (see NGF Bible)
- Lawsuits cost a lot of money, but the real lion's share of costs are when it actually goes to trial (this case did not).
- When you reach a certain point in the Pre-Trial phase, the firm tells the client how much they think going to trial will cost, versus what they could (even in the best case scenario) get from their opponents.
- Now it doesn't take a genius to figure out that ChrisR/Dion/NGF isn't really worth that much in relative terms to SNK-P. So spending the money of actually going to trial would probably be more than anything they'd win. Funny, I know, but that's how this crazy legal system works.
- What do you do if you're faced with this kind of economic decision? Well, lets step into the shoes of SNK-P: Your attorneys tell you. "Hey, we can get these two (who are representing themselves and know no better) to sign a permanent injunction that will let us simply drag them to court in violation of an injunction if they ever sell infringing items again." (if you haven't guessed, if you violate an injunction like the one that NGF signed, it skips a lot of the expensive steps and streamlines the whole process).
- SNK-P get's NGF to sign the injunction. What does that mean? Well, NGF can sell its normal, uninfringed items (and I'm not doubting they have some, other popular sellers have bought their stock), but the next time they ever get the inkling to do a "corrected" insert or a converted game that never existed (in a particular format)... WHAM: down comes the hammer. Thus, that is how SNK-P has a leash on NGF.
Originally posted by chrisr

To what end? that's exactly what SNK-P said: We have two people hardle worth the court costs we'd expend to nail, so we'll just get them to sign a piece of legally binding paper that will keep them in line.
Originally posted by chrisr

See, ChrisR is playing with two matters here:
(1) He does have the rights to sell the uninfringed games he and Dion possess, that's a given. That's the fact he keeps pointing to when he says "rights".
(2) He does not have the rights to sell infringing games, that's what NGF is notorious for, that is why they were dragged into court. Those are the games not on the permission list in the injunction.
He constantly points to number one, but that right was never called into question: He's playing the old bait-n-switch
Originally posted by chrisr
Big deal. With the way it was worked, we were still vindicated, AND moved the rights back to Playmore. It all adds up to a bitter pill for you, and another opportunity to use the obvious - NGF-PRA.
Again, his term "vindicated" refers to the obvious right I noted above as (1). Remember, (2) above is what this was all about. The NGF Bible was created as a record of their former antics for posterity.
The case is dismissed, the Permanent Injunction is all they wanted. You believe what you want, but they now have your number if you and Dion ever go back to your Community publicized antics.

All irrelevant:
What other sellers/resellers do is up to other sellers. What stock you have is irrelevant to the issues of the case. If you decide to buy and sell more games, untouched, you can. If you go back to the old "Corrected inserts" and "Ultra rare" games... well that's another story.

I have nothing to sell, so of course I have no product. The NGF Bible wasn't even created by me: it was created by the hordes of others you two scammed. It's a pain for you two, I know, but since you have no more stock, this should all be moot for you two (unless you really think your pride is in any way being vindicated here).
If you have no stock, why do you keep coming back? To help us batter your already non-existent reputation even more? This thread is actually going to be a reference point for whoever else comes asking about you two. They can see exactly how easy it is to pick apart your argument in favor of the truth: you both have a history of bad dealing and counterfeit products.

Okay readers, that statement is classic NGF: Say something wholly unsubstantiated and hysterical. That's how they used top operate: They talk down to everyone with some mental complext that they are worth a damn. Well, as everyone here can now see, they're not. No one is (save for maybe E. Kawasaki himself for supporting the NG for so long).
This last paragraph really ices the cake on the personae of the NGF duo: Lots of talk, infringing items that got them in court, now just talk.

The majority of ChrisR's post was either a rehash of earlier arguments or completely hole-ridden argumentation. However, I will get a kick out of blasting holes through this stuff:
My points dont need to change. I have to keep reiterating the same things to help you understand I guess. If the story keeps changing (as bobaks does), what does that mean? I sense scrambling to save face by bobak.
"Highly Acclaimed"... Okay, hate to burst your bubble (or SNK-P's, for that matter), but that law firm they used is not very impressive. With that said, they're competent since they got themselves a golden noose.
What does that mean?
This is so good I will even address it point by point for you.
Well, I'll flesh it out some more for our readers, assuming most haven't gone to trial on something like this, here's info on basic legal economics:
- Dion and Chris are two relatively small time crooks (see NGF Bible)
- Lawsuits cost a lot of money, but the real lion's share of costs are when it actually goes to trial (this case did not).
Yes, lawsuits cost alot of money. But ask yourself, Playmore and its executives are very familiar with lawsuits. They have been serving them up with frequency. So why would they attempt to sue us, knowing they couldnt recover the cost of the action? Did they think they would get attorney fees? Did they think they would win? Maybe before the first day in court, but after that it was serious damage control.
We were already in the Discovery phase of the proceedings, and I am sure Playmore had already spent large dollars, so what was the best way to get out of it? Well, that question is already answered.
- When you reach a certain point in the Pre-Trial phase, the firm tells the client how much they think going to trial will cost, versus what they could (even in the best case scenario) get from their opponents.
- Now it doesn't take a genius to figure out that ChrisR/Dion/NGF isn't really worth that much in relative terms to SNK-P. So spending the money of actually going to trial would probably be more than anything they'd win. Funny, I know, but that's how this crazy legal system works.
If we were so small time, why even bother us? Could it be they ALREADY know what we had the rights to and wanted to hi-jack them away through legal intimidation? That was always my theory, but who knows.
- What do you do if you're faced with this kind of economic decision? Well, lets step into the shoes of SNK-P: Your attorneys tell you. "Hey, we can get these two (who are representing themselves and know no better) to sign a permanent injunction that will let us simply drag them to court in violation of an injunction if they ever sell infringing items again." (if you haven't guessed, if you violate an injunction like the one that NGF signed, it skips a lot of the expensive steps and streamlines the whole process).
- SNK-P get's NGF to sign the injunction. What does that mean? Well, NGF can sell its normal, uninfringed items (and I'm not doubting they have some, other popular sellers have bought their stock), but the next time they ever get the inkling to do a "corrected" insert or a converted game that never existed (in a particular format)... WHAM: down comes the hammer. Thus, that is how SNK-P has a leash on NGF.
What is so funny is your entire arguement is now reduced to taunting me with the injunction we HAPPILY signed! What you call a noose, I call moral insurance for Playmore. I was happy to give them those assurances in exchange for what we recieved.
To what end? that's exactly what SNK-P said: We have two people hardle worth the court costs we'd expend to nail, so we'll just get them to sign a piece of legally binding paper that will keep them in line.
your entire arguement in a nutshell... I really hoped you would be a little stronger, and come up with something more creative, but I guess that really is all you had left.
See, ChrisR is playing with two matters here:
(1) He does have the rights to sell the uninfringed games he and Dion possess, that's a given. That's the fact he keeps pointing to when he says "rights".
When I refer to rights, I refer to the rights we PREVIOUSLY had (pre-settlement), which were the rights to reproduce and repackage pretty much every neo geo game ever made. As well as the rights we currently have, which are 100% the same as your rights.
(2) He does not have the rights to sell infringing games, that's what NGF is notorious for, that is why they were dragged into court. Those are the games not on the permission list in the injunction.
The games on the real list that will be posted on Playmores website are games we previously had rights to, and I have said all along we no longer do. You keep trying to make it out that I am denying no longer having these rights, which is incorrect.
He constantly points to number one, but that right was never called into question: He's playing the old bait-n-switch
Again, his term "vindicated" refers to the obvious right I noted above as (1). Remember, (2) above is what this was all about. The NGF Bible was created as a record of their former antics for posterity.
The case is dismissed, the Permanent Injunction is all they wanted. You believe what you want, but they now have your number if you and Dion ever go back to your Community publicized antics.
You can spout it until your blue in the face, but let me ask you this. Is a permanent injunction saying we could no longer do the things we had the rights to do in the past what they really wanted out of this lawsuit?? Can you say that with a straight face? What they wanted was the world, and what we got was the settlement. We gave them the moral insurance of the injunction, and it came very easy. I would do it again 100 times.
All irrelevant:
What other sellers/resellers do is up to other sellers. What stock you have is irrelevant to the issues of the case. If you decide to buy and sell more games, untouched, you can. If you go back to the old "Corrected inserts" and "Ultra rare" games... well that's another story.
No, very wrong, our stock level had EVERYTHING to do with the case. I am sure the NGF trackers on this board will notice that I RARELY sell anything. When we moved large quantities of stock to Shawn(which some is still in his store), NCS, JVG, Telegames, etc. That was a good chunk of the initial 3500 carts. When the rebirth came, and the addition 1500-2000 carts came in, we moved them about 95% corrected over the course of a year or so. So in the end our stock was pretty much insignificant, and the non SNK released game market has gone into the toilet due to bootleggers like arcade, and sales outlets like this board (moving unauthorized reproductions of games like PI2, which only NGF and SNK truely had the rights to reproduce). Essentially, it was ever then. The new games come out, and they somewhat sell, and the aftermarket turns into the disaster it is now because of the kids and "collectors". So why would we covet these rights that were the gold that paved the NGF highway for years? They ended up paying off double for us because of the case, but really that was just gravy.
If you have no stock, why do you keep coming back? To help us batter your already non-existent reputation even more? This thread is actually going to be a reference point for whoever else comes asking about you two. They can see exactly how easy it is to pick apart your argument in favor of the truth: you both have a history of bad dealing and counterfeit products.
I just keep coming back to this thread because your death spiral is accelerating, and it is fun to watch. I am still putting you at #2 in all time debates with me, second only to a fun one Deuce and I had years ago.
Okay readers, that statement is classic NGF: Say something wholly unsubstantiated and hysterical. That's how they used top operate: They talk down to everyone with some mental complext that they are worth a damn. Well, as everyone here can now see, they're not. No one is (save for maybe E.

Chris,
You're really pathetic. Anyone with a set of balls would have admitted they lost the case.
You just continue spinning more bullshit that has no substance.
Bobak has more knowledge about the law than you ever will hope to in your life time. The fact that you insist he is wrong is hilarious and mind boggling at the same time.
You still never answered to the questions or comments about the fact that you and Dion are notorious liars, as well as scammers. See folks, he doesn't deny any of this because it is all true. He probably figures if he ignores it, then it makes it not true.
This here proves you have the moral standing of shit on the ground.
Lastly, if NGF was truly as victorious as you claim, given the penchant Dion has for shooting off his mouth, then why was everything so quiet on that September 29th when you signed the injunction? Another inconsistency in the Dynamic Duo's claimed victory.
Grow up and admit the truth, well actually I don't really think you know what the truth is. Dion and Chris strike me as pathological liars. If they were given a lie detector test in regards to being truthful about beating Playmore they would probably pass. For the simple reason that they believe their own lies.
chrisr
11-12-2003, 10:09 PM
Well, I guess this about caps the thread off. Since Bobak has decided to end debating, which I can respect, we can just say people will decide on their own.
I will update the thread when the updated press release comes out. In the mean time, the usual suspects can spam it up.
It was interesting anyway.
Also, on the subject of being a crook and a liar, I have yet to see anyone step up and say what I owe them, or how I screwed them.
Maybe we can go back to the cardboard box incident with smallwood. I still have one if he wants to trade back.
Thanks,

To be honest, I don't know of a fun story that is specific to Chris off the top of my head as I was smart enough not to ever attempt a purchase from either of you. However, there are a couple stories that spring to mind in reference to Dion and you AND Dion are what make up NGF and with that, you are at the least guilty by association.
Let's go back to when Dion told everyone on the DHP that Metal Slug X came with an orange genre insert, direct from SNK, way back when. LIE. There's more to that story too, but I don't feel like retyping the whole thing.
Or how about when Dion took a decent sized order from Tonk (some $300-500 or so I believe, but amount is irrelevant) and instead of sending Tonk what he ordered, because Dion lied and said he had stuff in stock to get his hands on Tonk's money when he did not indeed have said stock, sent Tonk a totally random assortment of games that had nothing to do with his purchase. Of course, there is a lot more to that story too, but again, I don't feel the need to type the whole thing. In any case, it's shady, dishonest, bullshit.
I don't care if these examples are of you or not. The fact is, NGF is both of you and his transactions are your transactions. These two examples popped into my head after thinking, literally, about 10 seconds. And I say again, there are more.
To be honest, I don't really care what the final outcome of any of this court business is. The bottom line is, the both of you could have been really good to this hobby but instead you invested so much of your ego into making some stupid fucking games into a ridiculous symbol of affluence and psuedo cool that your efforts simply became a parody of themselves. You two are like the guy that shows up at the club with a gold medallion thinking that all the attention he is getting is because he is so hip and good looking, when in reality it's because he is the butt of a multitude of jokes. BTW, this dress code evidently fits Dion to a "T," from what I have seen of him in his own photos, but who cares. That's petty anyway.
Whether you had rights to everything or nothing, then, now or any other time is completely beside the point.
Your organization was shady.
You treated you customers with contempt.
Your organization lied to its customers, about its stock, the state of things, etc.
You defaced and destroyed original pieces of SNK's legacy with your so called "corrections."
You hurt this hobby and made it less than it otherwise would have been.
Perhaps the last sin is the greatest. The fact that this thread even exists in some small way diminishes the greatness that the Neo represents to we die hard fans. Perhaps over the years, time will erode the oily smear of NGF's touch on this great platform.
I don't care who releases what information when. None of what I have typed changes, regardless because it has nothing to do with IP rights and everything to do with behavior and ethics.
So, with that in mind, I give you the Shinji Salute and welcome you to be on your way.

It's a shame that Dion won't show his face here. He only has enough lip to trash talk on the DHP. He did manage to pull this "gem" out of his ass:
"How could I have stolen from you if I was the person who PAID you? You tried to rob me but luckily Paypal gives protection against scammers like you."
http://lists.dhp.com/neogeo/2003/Nov/0074.html
Followed by:
"Also, you owe me money for the damage to my car. So, wait till you see how that gets handled."
http://lists.dhp.com/neogeo/2003/Nov/0080.html
Let's see here, so what exactly is it called when you PAY someone for a product they sent you three months in advance, then decide to CHARGE BACK the payment just because you don't like it when the seller calls you on some of your lies and demands reparations. That sounds like THEFT. But no, apparently in Dion's little world I am the scammer because I sent him a "fake" Ganryu conversion he resold to Makismo or some other dumbass with his corrected insert for twice the money.
The moron still has the gall to mention his "car". That's a funny story as well. Rewind back to the day of the 2002 CGE when I wasted $60 on the entrance fee and cab fares, as well as 3 hours of my precious time that could have been spent with my girlfriend, attending a crappy show where a bait-and-switch was pulled on the promised protos for sale. Let's think back to when out of sheer generosity and kindness, as anyone who knows me will attest to, I volunteered to help Dion set up the booth by going back to his house to see the supposed "protos" and other "treasures". Let's think back to when Dion, being the steroid-driven brain-cell lacking dummy that he is, forgets to remove the towing hatch from his Jeep, then asks me to put something in the back of the car, and when I open the back door and ding it on the unrevomed hatch expects to blame me because I didn't notice the hatch? What kind of idiotic argument is that? Mother fucker I should charge you for the time I spent helping you out since my time is not free. I should charge you for the time I wasted attending the show where the promised advertised materials were not for sale.
Not so sincerely,
Mikhail

I've stated many times that NGF would'nt have worked if it was not for your participation. You built up a good reputation once upon a time ago and used that reputation to dupe thousands by lending that credibility to NGF.
Dion is a babbling moron who would have never been able to pull the NGF scharade off alone.He was written off as a loser back in '96.
Chris it is YOU who is/was responsible for the NGF treachery.
I don't hold that Moron responsible because Moron is what moron does. Dion is a FOOL by nature but it was YOU Chris that were fully aware of everything that was going on.
Nobody should get it FCKED UP that it was you Chris who is responsible for NGF treachery!!

No. You would have taken it back and kept both carts to yourself after you sent me your 'corrected' insert.

I sent you a cardboard boxed version of Sengoku on good faith & you in turn sent me a photocopied insert that you had cut the top off of with an excato-knife to make it fit along with cutting the plastic on the case as well.

Hmm... Lets recap this story for the 100th time.... We made a trade, cardboard sengoku for regular. I sent you a sengoku 1 in decent shape, and you sent me a cardboard in decent shape. You say it had a photocopied insert - NOT CORRECTED, but photocopied. Why in the hell would I photocopy a C condition sengoku insert to keep? I just pulled the thing off my shelf of hundreds of carts and sent it. I offered immediately yo trade back and you refused, saying you were scared to send the cart back, hence the current situation. I fail to see how it is my fault. I doubted from the beginning it WAS even photocopied, but I was willing to trade back anyway. The entire deal was worth like $20.
But in your mind I really was looking to rip you off.
This is the best people can come up with in the last 8 years. Man, I feel like a real crook.
I am still willing to trade back.

If something happened a said way, he starts re-writing it to try and make it look like he was the victimized seller who did what he could to make ammends.
As I said before, you are an incredible liar. You believe everything that comes out of your mouth. It's amazing what a loser you are.
Even when the facts look you dead in the face you attempt to spin the facts into something that is more friendly to you.
You know what's going to happen Chris, one day someone your "company" jacked is going to decide to extract revenge on you and Dion. Somehow I doubt it'll turn out good for either one of you.

Okay ahh, I think it may be time to step back and have a good look at what all this legal debate is supposed to achieve! I'm not saying its not all good interesting stuff and more than a little entertaining, but ChrisR what are you actually trying to achieve with all this? Yes, I suppose theres always a slim chance that a few of the folks here may actually be convinced by some of the points you're making, but unfortunately the bottom line always has been that NGF decided at some point to repackage AES/NGH carts with reprinted inserts complete with your label on the back, stamp and sticker booklets and the list goes on. You have to have thought at least for a moment or two that this is a purely sacrilegious practice no matter what form of collectable goods undergo this sort of manipulation!

The collectability has been destroyed and its reduced to what is essentially a cheap knock-off or if nothing else simply non-original. I'm really not going out of my way to play some touchy feely card here, rather I'm simply trying to offer up something constructive rather than just flaming you! I really am interested in hearing your reasoning for altering the insert of a title like Sengoku 2 of all games? A simple why is all I have to ask.

That was my goal from the beginning of this thread. It was supposed to be only myself and bobak. It didnt turn out that way, but I feel the information I wanted to get out has gotten out, so I am satisfied. Its not about convincing people in my book, just offering the information and letting people decide for themselves.
The thing that annoys me about this site is the intimidation that is wielded on members if they dont "fall in line", with the status quo. I think its sad that probably 80% of the people here really only know whats going on with the neo geo through spoon feeding from the propoganda machine that are the frequent posters here.
I am happy to voice my thoughts and opinions free of fear of being "flamed", as I already know thats coming!

That and the fact that this thread wouldn't happen over there because god knows... if it's an opinion that Dion doesn't agree with over there.. it's quickly modded or edited. So the situation over there would be the same.. You and Dion talking to each other.. and no one would care.

Toby,
The issue of repackaging games goes back to the entire genre coding system discussions of many years back. It is common knowledge that the reasoning for the NGF corrected inserts was to right the wrongs of the former SNK or America. There was supposed to be a genre coding system (which is used in japan), implemented on all english releases. It was haphazardly followed, and really incomplete. Our goeal from day one was to implement the true original objective of SNK Japan, and have a logical genre coding system for all neo geo titles.
When we aquired the rights to repackage all neo geo games, we implemented this system across the board on all games that needed it (Sengoku 2 being one). We used the original artwork files to restore the original insert intentions on over 100 titles. There are some that did not need correcting (many of the fighters), but all that did were. We put our URL box on the back to MAKE SURE everyone was aware where the games came from... How that is deceptive is beyond me, we were providing the origins right on the insert. Also, this was part of the agreement with SNK. We included the box to display the agreement.
People that own the inserts really like them, and by the way, every single cart I have is displayed with the NGF inserts. It works well with people that come over and want to play a game but have no idea about the neo. I tell them pick a green stripe for sports, or blue for shooting, it is the perfect way to keep the games organized. You can claim that isnt the way SNK wanted it, but in fact it always was, just check the japanese games and see the box that says "fighting, Racing, shooting, etc".
The inserts were attacked when the "collectors" showed up - people that may have come from things such as magic cards. People that have never ever heard of the neo geo before the late 90's. These people tried to apply the logic of collecting to the neo geo for financial gain, and it has done a number on the price of neo geo carts. Now when people cry about mint this, or how a game is worthless because the manual is missing, or there is a crease on the corner of an insert, I get sick thinkabout these morons that are what all the people thought the orginal ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ really were. But the truth is the early ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ were gamers that loved neo geo games, and would find something good about every game, including LOSJ. Nowadays you have the kids that trash every new game, and worry only about if it will increase in value, and how fast. Its really a joke.... But i digress.

chrisr, I have not seen your "corrected" inserts before so I can't comment on the quality or what everyone else is talking about, BUT I do recall in a (very) old Neo Geo catalog...maybe '92 or '93 (Baseball Stars Pro 2 was on the cover) that did have the color coding. I've had that catalog up until about a year ago but since I moved I can't seem to locate it. Hopefully it'll turn up somewhere..... Thorough answer btw.

"Our goeal from day one was to implement the true original objective of SNK Japan, and have a logical genre coding system for all neo geo titles. "
If it was their true objective, they would have done it themselves...it was your objective to modify the inserts to your liking when SNK decided not to implement the coding system. If you had modified the inserts for yourself, then that would be one thing, but you had no right to destroy thousands of original SNK inserts and sell YOUR insert, which you believed to be more appropriate.

Chris, why do you waste so much time on replies? Surely you know your reputation is dead in this hobby, no one has any respect for you or your lame repackaged non-original substandard games at all (except your retarded friend Makismo)? There's nothing at all left to salvage, dude. At least have a shred of dignity and walk away, from these forums and this hobby, since there is clearly nothing whatsoever you can do to ever salvage your rep.
You really are wasting your time trying to resurrect your long-ago dead reputation . . . and trying to spin the past history to make yourself look like the noble hero who did "great things" for this hobby. You aren't, and you never will be; you'll always just be a retard who tainted this hobby for awhile, then was handed his walking papers by the very company you claimed to be so closely affiliated with. Truly pathetic, and humiliating for you.
The more you whine and try to spin things, the sillier you look, regardless of your arrogance and condescending attitude. NGF's name (and yours and Dion's, of course, since NGF never really existed as a company officially) is dirt in this hobby, and that will simply never change. Why not just move on to try to ruin another hobby, since 99.99% of the people in this one are fully aware of your past history and won't have anything to do with you? :oh_no:

Indeed. A move that would have satisfied both the collectors and the "correctors" would've been to have sold the carts with both the original inserts and the "corrected" ones -- and without stamping and stickering the rest of the packaging (wasn't it enough that the backs of the "corrected" inserts bore the NGF logo?).

I find it incredibly amusing how a grown man like Chris Ray acts like a 15 year old punk ass high school kid.
5th grade in the late 90's?
Uh, no.
For your information I am 19 so do the math to figure out about how old I was. Besides why are you trying to pull some sort of age rank here? You're a fucking middle aged bald faggot who drives a Bubblegum Blue Porsche that is automatic and you are a proven liar. So age really means little coming from you.
First of all Chris, the revisionist history I refer to is how you try and manipulate everything that NGF did in this hobby in a vain attempt to make it look like you guys were heroes.
"We bought the SNK stock to return rare carts into the hands of Neo Geo fans."
Yeah, you try to act like heroes. But the part you leave out is how you defaced every single one of those cartridges.
Then you continue to spout off how the insert issue was to correct "inaccuracies" performed by SNK-USA. It never should have been done, if you wanted to try and create those so called "corrected" inserts, like someone else mentioned it should have been optional and the original insert included. But no, you had to try and fuck with everything. I sincerely doubt that any of the Neo Geo carts in your own personal collection have stamps and stickers as well as "corrected" inserts because you would want the games AS THEY WERE. Don't be a fucking hypocrite with that type of shit.
When is it going to somehow stick in your brain that you and Dion are finished in this hobby. You can spin and spin all you want but you don't know shit about legal aspects. Wow, you represented yourselves, probably because you knew you would be filing for bankruptcy having to pay lawyer fees. Bobak's word is greater than yours when it comes to legal aspects. The fact that you still try to spin shit and call him incorrect is pathetic. Your reputation is shit. You want to talk about scamming people? Here's one for you, you associate with Dion who has scammed numerous people. Guilt by association. Dion, you, and NGF might as well be one because everything that Dion did was condoned by you. So that makes you no better than that steroid pumping greaseball faggot. If you were respectable you would have tried to make good with the people that got fucked over like Tonk, Mikhail, and others because it was the right thing to do. You don't have the slightest idea of the moral thing to do because your bottom line was how much motherfucking money you could collect off poor saps who didn't know the type of illegitimate business that was being run.
You will not be remembered for anything positive in this hobby. You will be remembered for how destructive you were in this hobby. Like everyone said, Dion never could have pulled off the scams he did without your ass backing him.
Wow, this has turned into an All-Star Jam of old members.
I feel like it's 1999-2001 all over again.

Are you trying to tell us that you weren't "correcting" carts for financial gain? You guys certainly wanted more than a shitload of money for your homebrew inserts.
I don't care about your logic for what you did. You are still a shitbag for misleading people about what they were buying. Good for you, I guess. That's the American way; screw people as hard as you can, and hope they don't notice. But your still a shitbag.
The irony, for me anyway, is that I never would have bought my MVS cab if it weren't for you two. Once I found out what you guys wanted for one of your "corrected/homebrew" inserts, I bought an MVS set up with 2 games. All for less money than one of your carts.
Personally, I hate the collector mentallity that has infected this site, and the Neo Geo system in general. Really, it drives me mad.
But when you come here and imply that you were "correcting" games simply for the fans, that's bullshit. If anyone gained financially from the collector market, it's you and Dion.
Congrats to you Chris, you've raised my ire enough to get me to post my opinion. And if you're ever passing through Connecticut, shoot me an email. I'd love to discuss how big of an asshole you are.

Bear why are you so intent to continue smearing me?
I didnt make a single remark remotely endorsing NGF ,all I said was that a one on one legal "debate" between bobak and chrisr would be fun and a new perspective.....but as usual Big bear , has to hijack any thread where NGF is mentioned and start spamming it.
I note you werent calling me a member of the freak family back in 2000-2001 when I was buying hundreds of shockboxes off you to distribute around Europe instead of Dion's lower priced products.
Now we dont get along. So instead of dropping it. You continually make cheap remarks about me any chance you get. I saw that remark in gen discussion and now here as well.This time I'll reply.
Many other respected members such as for example bulletinyourass and qube and Kyogeo have said its tired and asked you to agree to disagree with me but no.....
Just get a life mate instead of sitting here all day waiting for someone to mention NGF. You'll be happier for it!!
Bobak is one of neogeo.com's most intelligent personalities and it would be fun for the other members here such as me, seeing him and Chris have a battle of "wits". Of course Bobak would win easily, we all know how smart he is.Such a "debate" would be a hell of a lot more fun than watching you creaming off on these boards year after year anytime someone mentions NGF.
Wouldnt a debate be good because it would mean Bobak destroying and finishing the "myths" of NGF once and for all?. Isnt that what you want?
maybe thats what Big bear is afraid of ....he wont have a reason to live anymore....After Bobaks and Chris's one on one debate, NGF will be so discredited and so history, that no one will mention them here anymore, so Bear will than be deprived of the centre of his sad and futile existence...... sitting around all day on the computer waiting for someone to mention NGF so he can rant and flap his gums some more.
SHIT!!!
If that happens that will mean BB has to turn his rants to a new party.....damn he'll choose me!......on second thoughts CAN that idea of a "debate"......Bobak...please dont have a one and one debate with Chris!!!! Please let him be.....let Bear keep his reason for living!

The debate is pretty much over, and all you have to do is look at the facts, the outcome is clear.
As far as giving consumers a choice on the corrected inserts, they always DID have a choice... You dont want corrected? Buy from someone else. How much more choice do you want?
Do you go to a Saleen mustang dealer and ask to buy a Roush or Bullit? Asking a distributor to sell outside their brand is just unrealistic.
What people weem to forget is the stock was bought by us, and therefore it was corrected. If you dont like it, buy from someone else. Getting mad because NGF wouldnt do what YOU may have wanted them to do(sell uncorrected carts), is pretty lame and self centered.

More proof you are a fucking idiot.
Sure it's easy to say, "don't like it, go somewhere else".
Are you that fucking oblivious to see that new and sealed Neo Geo carts don't exactly drop out of the sky like you would have everyone believe?
What's even funnier is that you act like those Neo Geo carts were your brand.
They never were your brand. You never made the games nor paid for the production for them. Hence THEY ARE NOT YOURS!!!!!!!!! They were SNK's brand, not NGF's.
Trying to compare it to buying a Roush Mustang from a Saleen dealer is idiotic. Oh and by the way, the Bullit GT was put out by Ford, not any special tuner company so get that straight first. Oh and let me state that there are dealers who sell both Saleen Mustangs and the Jack Roush Mustangs.
People had the right to complain about your defacing games, keep in mind you didn't correct the games as you like to so eloquently claim. You defaced them plain and simple. You knew damn well the value of the games would be killed by stamping them as well as stickering up the manuals, carts, and destroying the inserts for your own homebrew shit.
You want to get into lame and self-centered? You are the epitome of lame and self-centered. You claim to be this superfan of the Neo Geo but you had no problem destroying said games just to line your pockets with money. That is self-centered because you cared more about your own personal greed than you did about the customers. Lame is a fool like you who still continues to spew out his retarded bullshit as if his word actually means something. You have been discredited time and time again. What's even lamer is how your faggot buddy Dion Dakis won't even post in this thread. More proof that you are full of shit about everything you have said in regards to the legal situation with SNK-Playmore. If things were as true as you claim them to be, then why isn't his roided ass posting in here? Because there is no truth to anything you have said.
Unbelievable.

You still can't deal with the fact that I am the one that's responsible for bringing NGF to it's knees in the eyes of the Neo-buying public. I with the help of GUI LONG, brought your scams to light when people still "respected" you for all the fictional BS you two were known for spouting.
Remember your claim that "EVERY" single Neo game was released for Home Cart?. I made you eat that shit with the help of a few people, not the least of which was Alicia Barone, the then-president of SNK's daughter. She even brought the word in person that you were a bullshitter, and you and your boyfriend dion banned her from your board.
Who's your daddy, Chrissy-pooh? I'm ashamed to say I am. Take it like the bitch you are. You know that everything you two have done has come full-circle on you, and bit by bit you're making yourselves pay...
and I'm STILL here to laugh at you and at how you've made fools of yourselves.

On a more "civilized" note, lick my balls the both of you.
I told you both you'd never accomplish anything but digging a deeper hole for yourselves, and here you are 5 years later trying to pull the dirt on top of your own heads.
You guys are, and will forever be, a joke in the eyes of the neo community, and God-willing, one day we will witness true justice and the two of you will end up where you belong.
Just be sure not to drop the soap boys...

BTW If you'd ever like your pansy-collecting asses handed to you Neo-style, come see me in Capcom Vs SNK on XBox live. I was 3rd in the world when I played regularly, but now thanks to Rainbow Six and a few other things, I've dropped to the lowly rank of 7th in the world. I'm not hard to find. Gamertag: Billkwando.
You think you can talk the Neo talk? Lets see either of you bitches walk the Neo walk.
Still weak minded "FOOLS"!! How old are you anyway? lol
Go to hell =)

I've heard a lot of people say that you dropped on them, Bill. (Not to sidetrack your whole post, which I enjoyed)

I've had connection/router probs mostly, but if someone acts like an asshole to me I'm not gonna stick around, I play that shizzo for fun, and if they're acting like an ass I'm out....
Besides, the best way to frustrate those Bison/Blanka/Honda cheezors is a good old-fashion drop...
They get about as hopping mad as ol' Chris Ghey here.....

BTW, this post (from 2 days ago):
No. You would have taken it back and kept both carts to yourself after you sent me your 'corrected' insert. etc, was NOT written by me. It was probably written by one of the 2 people I gave my info to, to cut & paste things for me in my absence, which is apparently what they did, from an old post.
I've never used a tillday "~" in my life....
Bill (really Bill as with the 2 immediately previous posts)

It's threads like this that make me GLAD I didn't discover the Neo until I did...

Good Old NGF..it's been a long and messy path with Chris and Dion...The Ultimate neo "Big Shots"..ha, You two fucking punters have been spinning bullshit for longer than just about anyone in this hobby(oh..thats right a hobby..I guess I'm not a Big timer...if I take neo about as serious as playing monopoly, just another thing I enjoy enough to spend a little of my hard earned cash on) but what I do take seriously is dishonest poeple who take advantage of the unimformed in the neo community, and man There has been some other nasty folks in the past...but offender number one would have to be NGF...hell I'm not even gonna go into it becuase it's been discussed to ad nausium...I'll just say, I hope your muzzled asses just fade out of Neo history...but then agian every story needs it's antagonist. So good luck with life and all and oh yeah...gag to death on Dions cock!
