Ther'es also something about NeoGeo prototypes being released.

[joshnickerson]

FINALLY someone has pwned this douche.

I mean, it's been a long time coming. "Runaround Sue" my ass. Everyone knows his best work was when he was with The Belmonts.

...

Wait, we're not talking about Dion DiMucci? Then who the hell cares?

[SegaAges]

While it is cool that this happened, in a way it kind of sucks. Apparently NGF are going to have a booth at CGE, so that will be pretty awkward for some people who go to the show, but at the same time, I understand that the more booths the better at CGE. NGF just got done dealing with some crazy drama where they get busted out on some lies, and even a person on there talks about how one of the NGF people took him for $150. I mean, I am just saying the truth, but these guys are very untrustworthy, and it is really too bad since they not only plan on being at CGE, but publically said it within that discussion. How many people who plan to go to CGE will know about this stuff with NGF? I plan on being at CGE to hang out, play some games, buy some games, chat with friends, and there will be people like that there. Now, I know my place and I will just avoid them, which is the smart thing to do. It just really sucks that other people may not know about these guys and end up doing dealings with them.

Also, TonK was just pulling their chain to prove that they did not have the game, and he admitted that he does not have the rom of it either (he said rom, so I am guessing he means the game itself). TonK admits that he made up the questions as well.

While it is cool he did it to bust them out, at the same time he got the hopes up of a ton of people in the community, only to harshly let them down when the entire thing was done to bust out NGF since he admitted to making up all of the questions.

Now, I understand that cross forum drama is not good. Honestly, the way this effects us here at DP is the fact that NGF are telling people about the fact that they plan on being at CGE, which is something that Joe is the mastermind behind, which means that any of us, like myself, that plan on going to CGE will be effected, and at the very least, getting this information to the DPers who also plan on going to CGE is probably pretty important

[Jorpho]

Gee, it's been years since I've heard anything about NGF. I thought they were gone for good.

[theclaw]

I had the impression some of NGF's releases were approved by SNK after all, rendering moot the IIRC original old main point of their controversy.

[SegaAges]

Gee, it's been years since I've heard anything about NGF. I thought they were gone for good.

Not only are they still around, but they announced in that thread that they plan on having a booth at CGE and they even challenged people to come to them face to face at their booth.

I mean, I am being honest when I say that I plan on avoiding them. The thing is, not everybody is me. Some might do dealings with them not even aware of the lies and even the case where a person said that NGF took them for $150, but they are being confrontational about it. If somebody else decides that is a time to get in their face, it will make a bad experience for many people, including myself. CGE 2K10 was awesome and 100% confrontation and drama free, and NGF challenged people to come to them here. I am not going to, but I am only a single person. I am saying that the more people that read up on how these people are, the better.

I am not saying kick them from CGE, because I do realize that the more people the merrier, and chances are, they will be there and everything will go off without a hitch. I can't promise that though, since I can't vouch for anybody besides myself and my friends. I know we will all be cool, but I don't know each and every person that will be at CGE.

I mean, I am not trying to start shit or anything, I am just saying that if everybody stays as educated as possible with these guys, then hopefully people won't get ripped off or anything like that. I am being kind of slightly selfish, but I truly want to have a good time at CGE. CGE is not exactly expensive, so anybody that lives in the area can make it out very easily, and the last thing I would want to see or even hear about through people talking is that drama popped off at CGE.

[Kitsune Sniper]

If the NGF people are asking their accusers to confront them at the booth, then they (NGF) shouldn't be allowed into the con. They're trying to start a fight and the last thing Joe needs is for CGE to become tainted by their ... actions.

[SegaAges]

I mean, it is not my call on who has a booth or not at CGE. I am going based off of what I read, and when I saw that, my heart sunk a little bit. I don't know which page it is on, but Dion does say it on one of the pages. I am just trying to look out for myself so that I can have a good time, and Joe is good shit and always treated me very well, so if he has a shitty experience with his own con from some random person or a booth, it will drag others down. Now, I can't say that anything will happen. Like I said, I can only vouch for me and my friends since I know us and know we won't start any problems, but I can't vouch for every single person who is going to be there

I don't really know who's right or wrong here, and I'm being neutral and just waiting for the ROMs to fall out, if they ever do.

But I am kinda bothered by how I interpreted what happened to the Assemblergames' thread on the subject as, at least initially (since this goes so fast I'll need to catch up on it later), seeming more like a cover-up on Dion's behalf than legitimate forum control. You don't dismiss allegations of fraud and scamming in a forum where financial transactions are a -major part of the community- with a mere "Everyone makes mistakes!" and calling all the accusers crazies (all while failing to address by name anything regarding the complaints in specific detail). These kind of allegations should be taken more seriously and with more tact for everyone involved.

That all being said, it seems Neo-Geo.com has a pretty big trading area as well, so I wonder how exactly their moderation is doing with this...

Ture or not for what dion did he's still a scammer.As for so called prototypes ever being dumped if they real or not,it will probably never happen people have them usely keep them for collective purpose.If you can search for the nfg bible for it's time it detail for what dion did.

That's all i have to say on the matter it's old news now afther dion was taken to court i thought he was ran out of business.

Tell us more.

Business tactics aside, Dion/NGF is notorious for making statements about owning or being privy to information regarding SNK or Neo-Geo items. When asked about these items or whatnot, lots of backpedaling, wordplay, dancing around the subject, or flatout ignoring the issue happens. He/they want the attention (or admiration, or whatever term you'd like to use) of people thinking they have something yet refuse to do anything to substantiate the claims.

TonK claimed he got ahold of a game prototype that Dion said he owned previously but sold. TonK then offered $20k for NGF to answer one question to prove they owned it in the past (to which they wouldn't bite) then offered to not publicly release the ROM if they could answer 5 questions about the game. Chris/NGF answered the questions, all of which were made-up nonsense that TonK pulled out of his ass, proving that NGF never owned the game in the first place.

[NerdXCrewWill]

Welp, I guess the famous "Mystery of the Prototype" is solved! I agree with weirdguy. What a massive tl;dr. I kind of feel embarrassed because I've actually casually lurked on the NeoGeo.com forums before.

[The Shawn]

It has nothing to do with "Cross forum drama" for fucks sake.

It has to do with someone lying about owning a prototype of a 'classic game' and then doucheing out when proven he lied. (Dion & Co) And still have the balls to say he's going to release it. As it DOESN'T EXIST! that was proven when Tonk laid 10K on the line for them to answer 1 question about the game, and they refused (Thinking tonk also had the game). Just pointing out another reason that NGF (Neo Geo Freaks, not the NG forums) should be avoided.

That being said, I'd bet that these type of drama threads get more website hits then most of the other posts. I'm sure that this thread is worth at least few few pages before someone locks it down.

Before I read that thread I just assumed that Dion was some dude that worked at a Gamestop, and he got owned.

Now that I read that thread I know that it's about some guy that did some bad stuff to some other random people in some way, only the guy who was posting in that thread was someone not named Dion and only knew that guy in some way. Beware of dealing with these guys who aren't even on this forum! Other than that, the thread was fun as it was similar to the whole Bio Force Ape experience.

I am not worried about that guy.

I am simply saying that he is popping off at the mouth and then telling people to come see him at CGE in that thread. To think that nobody will follow up on his proposal is simply being naive.

The reason why I keep reiterating that I will be cool is because I know the people who browse the DP forums, and the last thing I want is for them to think I am trying to get the jump off on the dude. I don't do that.

If stupid stuff happens because of those guys when CGE comes around, then people will have a bad time there.

No, I don't have much to do with CGE outside of going and maybe volunteering, but I know the people that have a ton to do with it, and if I can help in anyway by stopping drama at the con before it starts, then I would say I have done my part
