A ColecoVision branded mame cabinet... unexpected match up


Now I was wondering about the trademark and figured it might have been abandoned.

It turns out in 2017 that a 'Coleco Holdings LLC' entity registered it again.

 
Hmmm...
Cool, but unexpected is right.
Makes one wonder what the agreement with the MAME devs looks like too as you would expect something like this for sale could just be a minefield for litigation for a whole bunch of people.
 
I dig it, but it's not for me. I had a ColecoVision BITD and that nostalgia comes from playing it as it was, a home console game. To me, this has zero nostalgic appeal.
 
The only reason anyone noticed this among the hundreds of other goofy mame cabinet makers is because these guys (presumably) took the effort to acquire a familiar nostalgic name. That's all folks.
