Hey Laurent, NCI... Get B2B and TOTC ROMS Here! Free!

[amaradona]

Especially when you know how their business practices are shady.
I dont give credit to people manipulating auctions prices

420neogeo:

So the "ploy to make money off us" part doesn't bother you at all?

 

[wataru330]

420; put your bong down, and sober up before you post. Truly, some of the dumbest shit I've ever read on the Internet. Lol @ player hate...in NCI's case, I'll hate the player *and* the game.

 

[metallizer]

Don't disgrace MAME with that ToTC game. Yuck.

I still think the proto never existed in their hands and they made it from the screenshots and magazine clippings to create hype for demand.

- Au départ, qu’avez-vous pu récupérer du prototype de Treasure of the Caribean ?
Il faut savoir qu'on avait peu de données du jeu original. Nous disposions de quelques images et surtout d’aucun code source.

This has been established long ago. It´s just a homebrew game. Not a proto at all.

PS: Thanks for the romz tonk! I doubt I´ll ever bother to play these but thanks anyway.

lets not player hate

Lol @ player hate...in NCI's case, I'll hate the player *and* the game.

fuck the game if it ain't saying nothin!

 

[420neogeo]

There is so much anger here lol. where is the love guys? if you don't like the product then don't buy it. As far as price manipulation goes, I'm quite certain we can all agree that most major neo sellers are guilty of that to some extent. the price gauging by NCI doesn't bother me because I would never spend hundreds of dollars on a game that sucked. The only people who have done so are the ones who could care less about the game play and simply see TOTC or B2B as potential trophies on their neo shelf. These people don't deserve your protection let alone any concern for their finances. If and when NCI release warlocks of the fates will that game be worth 500 dollars to you (if its decent)? I will however concede that I feel badly for any buyer who pre ordered TOTC. These neo owners deserve our sympathy. But at the end of the day, you took a gamble and bought a prototype game (without seeing gameplay) which most likely wasn't released for a very good reason.
and to Wataru, save the petty personal attacks. I'm much smarter than you and I don't need to personally attack people to win an argument. Your aggression towards me only serves to exemplify your intellectual dishonesty.

 

[TonK]

if you don't like the product then don't buy it.

I won't, ROMs are free.

 

[420neogeo]

I should also say Tonk that I appreciate you dumping roms online so that we can enjoy them and try before we buy

 

[pipes]

Anyways, I can say with total confidence that I will never buy anything remotely associated with NCI. I don't care what it is. These guys are a disgrace and don't give a shit about quality as long as the money keeps rolling in. I don't care what they do in the future, they're not going to see a penny from me. Fuck 'em.

 

[wataru330]

Lol @ 'graduating law school in a few weeks'. Your post that I initially responded to, read like you were graduating Middle School in a few weeks.

You can't even see fit to type my handle
correctly.

Smarter than me? Many here are; damn sure not you.

I mean, it's the Internet...so I could be the HNIC at NASA for all you know, heh.

Many here know who I am, and what I do/have done IRL. You may be hella smart IRL too; I dunno. I can only go by your handful of posts.

Including the one that I initially quoted.

Which still, to this day...is one of the dumbest things I've ever read on the Internet.

 

[420neogeo]

I am obviously far more intelligent than you because when I disagree with someone I attack their points of argument rather than the person themselves. As for my graduation from law school, that occurred almost a year ago. Stop being so insecure.

 

[NeoGeoNinja]

@420neogeo

I think one of the deep seated issues I have about this whole thing, that is most wholly discomforting, is sacrificing games that are f*cking masterpieces by comparison to the release material - in this instance: TOTC > MS4. Gutter Trash behaviour.

This game is NGCD release material at the very most. Very berry...

 

[420neogeo]

As for Pipes, I respect your opinion and I agree with what you are saying with regard to the inferior product they produce. I too will most likely never purchase anything they produce. However, I hold out hope that other companies will be inspired by the financial success of NCI and produce new (better) products for the neo geo.

 

[SSS]

I envision NCI developing neo games during the down times while they're cooking meth in some rundown house at the end of a shitty neighborhood.

 

[420neogeo]

to NeoGeoNinja: are you telling me that they are destroying copies of metal slug 4 to be used as sacrifice boards? if so....that is a disgusting. I certainly cannot support that. The amount of money they are charging should certainly warrant the custom fabrication of cases and boards. I must admit that I am guilty of producing my own conversion of neo turf masters using a sacrifice samsho 2 cart. With the information you have just provided me with I think I am going to have to respectfully change my stance on NCI. This is particularly due to my own frustration of not being able to afford an AES copy of metal slug 4 for myself. However, if they made all their products from scratch I think I would feel differently.

 

[SSS]

They're destroying a shitty game to make even shittier games. Amazing

 

[terry.330]

Nobody that has ever had username with 420 in it in the entire existence of the internet has ever typed anything worth reading.

Also keep in mind that putting 420 in your name is pretty much an immediate sign to avoid you to anybody over the age of 20. So it wouldn't really matter if you posted the greatest thing ever written you will be automatically dismissed as a 16 year old wannabe stoner.

Fur sure. Obviously.

Your initial wall of single-spaced ramblings, and vote of support for NCI are what I 'attacked'.

I suggested what I did, as your post was all over, incoherent, and appeared to be made by someone that was *way* too high.

Your points of argument? Remember those; y'know, the things you typed? That is what I referred to as stupid. Not you as a person. What you wrote.

And I'm insecure? Riiiiiiiiight.

On a tangent point to the above - Support NG DEV Team! They are doing great things with the hardware for the gamers.

I believe a kickstarter project for those guys is overdue.

Agreed NG Dev team's games have been amazing so far. My only gripe with them is the numerous delays w/ the GunLord AES version

ha ha look at you attacking me some more Wataru. Your comments clearly transcend creative criticism and instead become personal due mostly to your unnecessarily aggressive nature. come on guys. no need to pick arguments over different points of view. I'm sure I am not the only person on here who likes a puff from time to time or a good glass of wine. I also agreed with the predominant point of view in this thread once a significant piece of the story was presented to me. I am easily reasoned with and I am always open to hearing different points of view. Simply put, my mind is never 100% made up. You obviously know more about what is happening in the neo scene than I do, so perhaps try sharing that information rather than taking such an immediate adversarial stance.

Before you try to outwit, analyze or otherwise attempt to impress your will upon anyone here...

MASTER CAPITALIZATION AND PUNCTUATION.
