I'm normally the one to scream fake and point, but I can't see anything that looks bogus here. What am I missing?

D'oh, can't believe I missed that. Yes, this is a total fake. But a rather well done one. If the poster hadn't have made that one fatal mistake...

Why do you think its fake?

Why would he create a whole site like this to trick us into thinking it was real? I don't get it.

Because it's not just us he's trying to rip off, I'd assume. Probably searches for all gamemaking forums.

It's a bigger scheme/fake than just this one forum. I see two possibilities here--

1) He's rich and can afford to waste money on a waste of time like this
2) He's trying to steal peoples' games

Really though-- registering two domains and paying for a decent amount of space/bandwidth for one or two months if only $50 to $60.

Read the code box above if you want to see why I think it's fake.

Not quite sure why everyone thinks it's a fake. I looks like quite a good idea to me if you can get enough good games and actually get the machine into pubs/arcades.

I just, think the, stupid, punctuation; really let, the guy's credibility down. Whether, it's genuine or not, get a literate, person; to read over, your work.

</ grammatical rant>

Can I ask you a Question?
What is it?
It's an interrogative form of sentence, used to test knowledge. But that's not important right now.
