THE 64™

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-64-computer-and-handheld..

I don't suppose anyone know who the "world class software and hardware engineer" is, or the "technical team from around the world"? The page fails to mention any names besides Darren Melbourne.

Quote: the fact that they dont show their prototype pretty much tells you that there is none - so what exactly did they do besides rendering mockups?

The "prototype" they show on the pages looks like a normal C64 keyboard in a wooden case with the C= key being replaced by a mockup made in playdough by CEO's 3rd year old son.

That fact, lack of any real technical info and that it is a "flexible" campaign should be enough for anyone to steer way clear from this one.

So still nobody actually knows who these guys are? I find that quite amazing.

Quoting Morpheus
Krill, not trying to convince you here as you've already made your mind up, but games will be released on the C64 as well.
Yeah, games which either work on the real thing or in a customised emulator running on a Raspberry Pi with a 3D-printed C64-ish case.

somehow i get the impression that "guys" is not quite correct at all - and there is only one so far.

The company behind the product must be registered at someone's name (if it is a real reigstered business at all)? No? Somebody able to check? Or the domain name of the company website, or something?
