@jlanderson2010@TheRealZophar That's awesome! I'm guessing after Tengen dropped out of the licensee program the hotline stopped supporting Tengen games? Not surprised to see that you had Tengen's number there, but were you getting a lot of calls for Color Dreams?
@TheRealZophar We have no official connection to the original Tengen Inc. beyond owning the name and being inspired by their "you can't stop ys from making games" spirit.
@TheRealZophar I'm a big fan of the original company and always thought it would be cool if somebody bought the name and brought it back as a new retro developer, and eventually I decided just to do it. The trademark was long expired, so I registered it myself in 2024.

@MarcLawler2162 I don't have any experience creating games on that platform, but it's certainly not something I'm against doing. The 7800 was a good console but a victim of poor timing (and Jack Tramiel).
