Smoke and Mirrors

This is an official account of events that led to the evolution of GameGavel, RETRO magazine, the RETRO VGS, and the Coleco Chameleon written by somebody who was involved and had inside information that has never been published before.
It is a factual account of events, but more than that, it is a human story of the man behind the GameGavel Network and the Retro VGS / Coleco Chameleon and shows how one man's dream can quickly become a nightmare.
Mike Kennedy set out with good intentions and wanted to produce a video game console but somewhere along the way he lost control of his vision, his empire, and his livelihood. At any stage, he could have stopped the descent into madness but he chose to double down and forge ahead with one of the biggest scams in video game history.
Join Mike on his journey from hobby gamer to C.E.O. and back again and experience his highs and lows along the way.
