Erm since when did Death Ray Manta become a video game console?
Wikipedia said:
The PlayStation Vita (Japanese: プレイステーション・ヴィータ, Hepburn: Pureisutēshon Vīta[SUP]?[/SUP], officially abbreviated PS Vita) is a handheld game console manufactured and marketed by Sony Computer Entertainment.[SUP][20][/SUP]
DRM is not a video game console, but PS Vita is.

DEATH RAY MANTA | Bagfull Of Wrong

It exists on PC as a part of the Bagful of Wrong set.

This description is misleading if console games are not allowed here. The description should be updated to fix that.

If this thread is moved to consoles, fine. But then the posts about wrong section should be deleted to keep things in perspective :)

That's a loop hole over there :p I guess nobody bothered to change it even after starting a new section console related stuff.

EDIT - oops, sorry. I didn't even look at the article, and thought it was the actual DRM :p No need to move the thread ;)

Its not about the pc port, people actually thought DRM was Digital Rights Management, turns out its a game. Yoshida's troll worked on some :p

Death Ray Manta, no longer on Greenlight | WE MAKE THE COPS LOOK DUMB

DRM is being removed from steam greenlight.

This game was there back in the NES days mate.

Wat. "The NES days" didn't end after September 2012.

The heyday of the NES was not in 2012 mate. Now I'm not talking about clones or remakes.

Exactly. This game came out in September 2012 while you claimed "This game was there back in the NES days mate."

Looks like I misread an article which said pre-NES style gameing and took it to understand that this game existed in those times.
