When Pathfinder Online was doing their Kickstarter I wrote a very long article about the then-current track record for delivery of video-game Kickstarters. Better luck next time!' This is why I don't do Kickstarters. Oh, but now we're bankrupt, so none of you are getting any of your money back. Just be patient and wait another year, or two.

'We'll definitely give you what we promised.

While, in theory, Kickstarter backers are entitled to the rewards they were offered or a full refund, refunds have pretty much never happened. As a company in charge of a failed Kickstarter they seem to think they can make the rules to salvage the fiasco they themselves created. The Thing From Another World wrote: Nor do I think they understand that they need to issue refunds to their backers and not discounted Robotech merchandise. Yes, there are some wonky things in the PF rules, too, but they are orders of magnitude better than the standard Palladium ruleset. I really appreciate the playtesting done by Paizo/Pathfinder to ensure proper checks and balances are in place. You mean fix things like taking the 'Boxing' skill not only skews the action economy by giving you another attack, but adds HP, SDC, and a few other attributes? My brother and I have been trying to play a Robotech game lately, and the lack of balance in the rules is just staggering. This is coming from someone who still owns his RIFTS books.

Unfortunately, the refusal to update the base system mechanics (from what was pretty much a heavily house-ruled version of 1st Ed AD&D) in any significant way for decades meant that a lot of the fan base moved to other systems that were less of a headache, no matter how interesting the source material was. Personally, I wish Palladium would have hired a good game system designer to fix the mechanics and let Kevin Siembieda focus on setting development. Well, it was for a while (mid to late 80s, early 90s). A few good hires and Kevin stepping back a bit could have resulted in a major player. However when the time came to move to a more corporate structure it didn’t do so, retaining too much control and oversight in one person. Palladium is a textbook example - literally it could end up in a business textbook - of a company that was essentially founded as a “family” business and became moderately successful. I was able to get sound working too by swapping the cartridge connector with one of the other faulty PCB'sĬoin up and controls work fine so this one is very close to being 100% working.Cole Deschain wrote: I'll confess, I'm amazed Palladium is still around to make this kind of mistake in the second decade of the 21st century. Neo Geo boot up screen works fine, and most none animated graphics are ok The best of the 3 started up with just a static green screen, I've since learned that this a calendar issue, usually caused by a leaking battery, Sure enough all 3 boards have had battery leaks.Īnyway I was able to get this to boot up using a universe bios, but It had no sound and a problem with the Graphics as seen below I got 3 dead MVS boards from Frothmeister
