This website aims to preserve the history of the Vega+ scandal so that this history will never be forgotten. Now that Retro Computers Ltd are no more, we are in the process of reorganising the website. Many of the sections contain obsolete information or are completely out of date.Apparently RCL doesn't understand what a business plan is. They seem to have missed the part where you need an actual product design, or at least something more tangible than the vague notion of what it might be, before you seek funding and make promises to build it. To me it looks like a bunch of clueless amateur retro gaming enthusiasts secured capital without anything even remotely resembling any forward planning, then sat on it for ages whilst doing essentially nothing.

With all that money just sitting around for so long, it was inevitable that the cookie jar was going to end up being raided for 'business expenses', where the only 'business' being conducted was personal shopping sprees and piss-ups. So now, with no money and still no product design, and the law breathing down their necks, RCL has slapped together something that could have been constructed by a 7 year old in the Raspberry Pi Club at school. Re: The Gnome Underpants have arrived! Homer It's criminal fraud, and RCL's directors (assuming it even has any) should be prosecuted. Not sure why your comment has been down-voted. Either it touched a corporate nerve somewhere or the El Reg readership has a greater percentage of the naive and the ignorant than I'd thought. Truth is, the Vega+ story is - very obviously - not a chronicle of 'clueless amateur retro gaming enthusiasts' but of the activities of a pair of individuals with significant roles in the life and times of Retro Computers Limited: David Levy, and Suzanne Martin. I suspect that not a single down-voter (other than someone with a vested interest in nay-saying your post) has expended even a minute's time on examining the background of Levy and Martin: who they are, where they've been, and what they've done.
