Looks like I am being libeled here with false allegations. I can use any screen name when signing in to a forum for the first time. I have accounts on forums elsewhere under a different profile name. It was originally done to avoid problems I had with AtariAge members do not follow me here.  I had accounts on PC gaming forums for years under a different profile name. I had posts here that does not have anything related what is going with FJC. I could have just stuck with PilotZMii if I wanted to. Also, I have my email with the forum admins that proves the facts that I did make the request myself. The facts FJC is stating are hearsay and are of his opinion.

Well, all this private junkyard is the very part of the scene itself.

I decided to go by PeteyM5 as of December 31, 2023, and would like to extend my communication with the Atari community. Feed back is important, and past criticism has been reviewed for ideas for how to improve the games I write.  Video61 does sell my games by cartridge only, and I am aware this is the main source of resentment from some community members. Therefore, it is beneficial that I make the best for these cartridge games so they can be enjoyed to play.

I have provided some free open source games on Github using languages like Fast Basic, Mad Pascal, CC65, and some assembly. I did these projects to help myself learn those other languages, and decided to provide them to help others. I left those completely open, even at Video61's objection. These could someday be ported to cartridge games, so consider them a demo to what may come at some future time.

Hi Peter J. Meyer, remember me, it's Albert!  Oh, of course you do, you've been spewing vile and libel about myself, AtariAge, and various members of AtariAge ever since you were booted from AtariAge in 2019!

Welcome to another forum where you signed up under false pretenses!  As well as attempting to create fake accounts, but the forum admin caught you out and forced you to use your real name/handle.  Let's start with your claim that you voluntarily changed your username here:

LIAR! The forum admin was kind enough to point out that you even lied about this.  Not a surprise, though, I guess it's hard to keep track of all the accounts you create on various forums and, especially, on Facebook.

For anyone not aware, this is a repeating pattern for Peter over the last decade.  Seriously.  Years ago I caught Peter using fake accounts on AtariAge to pimp his own games (in threads where Peter was also using his primary account), as well as attack his critics.  At one point I warned Peter that if he continued to do this, I would ban his account. 

Well, fast forward to December 2018, and I caught Peter doing this again.  At this point I was completely fed up with his behavior, so I permanently banned him in January 2019.  I explained this in a public post on AtariAge here:

https://forums.atariage.com/topic/11040 … nt-4194599

If you look at the above post, you can see that Peter had created multiple accounts, and it was fairly trivial to tie them all together.  Amazingly, the email address used for one of these accounts was the same email that Peter used to send Jon an email very recently (with a fake name, of course), as Jon detailed in an earlier message. 

Immediately after his ban on AtariAge, he tried to create even more accounts.  Those attempts were stymied, and he was not able to get back on at that time. Not long after this, I received confirmation that Peter had also created multiple accounts on the Atari.io forum, and those were also removed.  Peter had begun badmouthing AtariAge on Atari.io and on Facebook as well. 

And, as he was doing on AtariAge and elsewhere, Peter started creating fake sock puppet accounts on Facebook.  He began using these accounts to attack AtariAge, myself, and others, and it was easy to see these accounts belonged to him. This behavior resulted in his getting removed from many Facebook groups he was active in.  This did not slow Peter down at all.  He continued to create fake accounts on Facebook to attempt to get around bans, and at one point started using these accounts to harass people. He would send people DMs on Faceobook using them, and he would make various posts on the walls of these accounts attacking AtariAge and his various perceived enemies. 

This continues to be the case in the present, as Peter actively manages several sock puppet accounts on Facebook.  He has friended many people in the retro gaming hobby with these accounts, and these people have no clue that they are interacting with fake accounts run by Peter J. Meyer.  He uses these accounts to write terrible things that he might not write with his own personal account, although as you'll see below, he also writes terrible things with his primary account.  He uses them to send people harassment via DMs.  He's even used at least one of these accounts as a moderator in his own 6502 programming group on Faceebook.  We know he has several different accounts in the Jaguar Sector III Facebook group which is run by Kieren Hawken, another individual who has mostly been ostracized from the hobby for his prolific work as a troll and pathological liar over the years, so of course they are buddies.

We have documented over 20 different Facebook accounts Peter has created.  Some of these accounts he periodically takes offline briefly, renames them, gives them new cover photos and profile photos, new Facebook URLs, and then brings them back online.  But many of the photos and posts remain the same, and existing public posts with these accounts suddenly have a new name, so they are easy to track. 

Peter has admitted many times that he creates fake accounts, but claims he is using them to "monitor" others (like you really need different accounts to do that?), or for other reasons that don't justify their creation. And nearly every single time this comes up he claims that he hasn't been doing this in the last year, or two years, or three years.  But these statements are flat out lies, as Peter continues to use fake accounts to this very day.

To demonstrate Peter's character, here's part of a public post he made in July of last year, knowing Sal Esquival was not in the best of health.  Sal is someone he previously worked with to develop games for the Atari 8-bit computers, and they had a falling out at one point.  Peter's spent a lot of time grousing about Sal, but this really takes the cake:

For those who do not know, Sal recently passed away.  I spoke to Sal on and off over the past few years, most recently about the music he created for an Atari 8-bit port of Outrun, which he was very excited about.  Sal also shared with me all the harassment Peter was dishing out in his direction, especially in the form of emails which he'd routinely send Sal, usually with fictional names and a variety of email addresses.  Sal gave me permission to share all of this publicly, which will be done soon (see below). 

Here's a post on Facebook that Peter made today:

Let me respond to a few of Peter's comments.

You're right, you were rightfully banned for creating multiple accounts, after being warned repeatedly not to do so. I also do not want your games discussed on AtariAge.  Not only because you were banned, but because you have repeatedly spewed lies against myself, AtariAge, and others.  Why should we reward that behavior by allowing your games to be discussed on the very forum you were banned from and continue to attack?

Nobody is an enforcer for me.  Take responsibility for your own actions that cause people to look at you in a negative light.  You only have yourself to blame here.  Shawn calls it like it is and is very frank about how he feels. 

Nobody is trying to drive you out of business, but again, don't be shocked that, due to your own actions, you have been banned from various forums and Facebook groups over the years.  Again, this is entirely your own doing.  How surprising that people don't want to deal with someone who has demonstrated he is incapable of using forums or Facebook without creating multiple accounts.  That he cannot take responsibility for why he was banned from AtariAge or various Facebook groups.  It's always someone else's fault.  Always the thugs and bullies, when in reality, it is you who are bullying others.

You and your weasel words, "making an effort", LMFAO, obviously your effort is failing, as you continue to use fake accounts on Facebook, and the Atari.Area forum is just the latest example where you were caught attempting to make multiple accounts, as clearly stated by the forum admin above.  If you were honestly trying to "make an effort not to continue using sock puppet accounts", all you have to do is DELETE THE ACCOUNTS.  But, no, you continue using them.  Maybe you're not often using them to promote your games, but you sure as hell are using them to attack your perceived enemies with public posts made by these accounts, private DMs sent to people, and of course, hiding behind aliases to send hateful emails to people.  As well as to get around bans in various Facebook groups (which pretty much ensures you will not get back into those groups with your primary account).  This is what a coward does.

Peter always plays the victim, claiming that he's been bullied by "thugs" on AtariAge, yet he has never shown any actual evidence of his claims. He's upset because people were reporting issues and giving feedback about his games, trying to help him improve them.  But apparently Peter believes that is "bullying".  He's also lied about why he was banned from AtariAge, rather than accept he was banned for creating multiple fake accounts over a period of years (and I was rather lenient with him on that front, in hindsight I should have banned him sooner).

Peter is a liar, and his word cannot be trusted.  Peter is a coward, as shown by his continually hiding behind fake accounts to attack others. Until Peter apologizes for his actions, retracts the libel he's stated about myself, AtariAge, Jon Halliday, and others in the hobby over the years, removes any active fake accounts he's created on Facebook and elsewhere, and demonstrates over time that he is no longer using such accounts, we will continue to expose Peter's behavior, whether he likes it or not. 

Peter, you are the bully.  You are the thug.  You are the one harassing people, and apparently spending a great deal of time doing so.  The only reason we have our eyes trained on you at all is because you continue to use fake accounts to circumvent bans, to attack and spread lies people, and to shill your own games.  It's astounding how much time you spend doing this, rather than focusing your energies on making games, which all of us would rather see you do than spending an inordinate amount of time hiding behind fake accounts being the bully you accuse everyone else of being.

As it seems you have no intention of curtailing your behavior, myself and several members of the community have been using a private forum on AtariAge to document all of your fake accounts in detail, linking them all back to you, as well as the many hateful and untrue things you have been posting with these accounts and your real account.  Expect to see this all open to the public soon, including well over a thousand screenshots of Facebook posts and comments made by you and your sock puppets, private emails you've sent to Jon, Sal Esquival, and others, DMs and private messages you've sent to others, and so forth.  People will be absolutely floored at how busy you've been on all these fronts over the past several years. 

Here's a small snippet of what you can expect:

You are about to be exposed for the fraud that you are.

..Al

.

What are "the other reasons"? How do you measure that people are interested in your stuff?

So it seems that it was like that:

"Are you interested in my games which do not exists but I plan tem?"
"Yes, we are always interested."
"There are no games written yet but if you ask for them so let me ....."

and then you imply that you do what you do as people are interested in games and ask you for something ...

Quite twisted explanation.

It's like
"Do you want more money?"
"Yes, we do"
"So, as you asked me for more money I feel allowed to rob a bank.".

This is complete bullshit, you obviously were here under false pretenses, as Jon demonstrated earlier.  Call it whatever you want, you are being deceptive as is typical, and now you are attempting to whitewash what you did here.  It isn't going to work, and people can easily see through your BS.

So you did the same thing there, as I stated above.  Thanks for confirming.

LOL at "allegations", you've directly admitted to attempting to create at least one additional account on both of these forums.  And, uhhh, this did, in fact, occur very recently here!  Given how many accounts you created or attempted to create on AtariAge (before and after you were banned), this seems to be standard practice for you wherever you go.  You seem to have zero remorse at all for creating sock puppet accounts, you're just unhappy that you're getting caught and being called out for our behavior.

Keep up with the creation of fake accounts and the libel against myself and others, and you will find yourself in a court room.  Consider yourself lucky that you aren't at present, as the sheer amount of evidence against you is extraordinarily damning. 

LOL again with your weasel words, "alleged accounts".  We know you have created at least 20 Facebook accounts over the last several years, and when you include your constant renaming of accounts to try and shield them, this number goes even higher.   Don't give me this alleged garbage.  Remove the fake accounts, stop creating and using fake accounts, that would be a good first step.  Stop attempting to create fake accounts on forums.  Stop harassing people via emails and hiding behind fake names and various email accounts to do so. 

Here are just some of the Facebook accounts we've documented, and this list isn't current, as everything in the last year has continued to be documented in the forum I referenced in my earlier post.

Here's a quote from you earlier in this thread,

This is another lie, as we caught you with an active account on AtariAge less than two years ago.  You were stupidly posting the same exact things on Facebook as you were on AtariAge, which is what tipped us off.  Given your brazen attitude for creating multiple accounts wherever you go, I absolutely would not be surprised if you have other accounts on AtariAge I'm not aware of.

Keep lying, keep creating/using your fake accounts, and this is just going to get worse for you.

..Al

LOL, you're butthurt over this?  It's a discussion forum, where people are free to have their own opinions, and at this point it seems you already earned a reputation for being extremely paranoid about people pirating your games.  It's obvious some people (like Metalguy) have strong opinions about Lance and the way he does business, and I don't agree with some of his posts in that thread, but again, it's not bullying.  It seems to me you have extremely thin skin.  And yet you still continued to post in that thread and it did get back on track at the end. 

This is hardly "bullying", and certainly nothing like the bullying you have been doing over the past four years.  No wonder you created your own Facebook group where you can control the narrative and talk to yourself with your sock puppets (and, yes, we have many examples of this in your own group). 

Even if one were to consider that thread "bullying", it still absolutely does not excuse your behavior over the past four years, or your behavior on AtariAge prior to your being banned.

This isn't even terribly important in the grand scheme of things, it's just another example of you attempting to create another account on a forum where you already had an account, and also using that account to deceive and attack people using an alias to hide behind.  This is not an isolated incidence, but can be tossed on the enormous pile of evidence of this behavior. 

I didn't say the were still all active accounts, I know most of those no longer exist.  That does not excuse the fact that they were created by you in the first place.  But, hey, thanks again for acknowledging that "most" of them were in fact created by you.

Nice story.  Have you ever thought about becoming an author?  Although I doubt you'd be able to write a story that wasn't completely full of plot holes.

Perhaps an attorney needs to contact Albert and Metaguy66 again. If I recall, this whole thing was about a version of SpartaDOSX cartridge modified to work with certain devices. I know Sal got nasty with Metalguy66. I stayed away from it. There were no problem between myself and Metaguy until I tried to have him fix my Atari MIO device and I became aware with what was happening.
The only one I can confirm still existing is "Jaraslav Popovic" and is not one of my accounts. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id … p;sk=about
All the other ones are long gone, mine or not, are long gone. The ones that FJC had problems with were deleted last year, and are no longer a problem.
I am not sure what was going on with the forum in 2021. I am aware in another post Albert said something about the beginning of 2021. What was the name on the account, and what did he post?

You are absolutely ridiculous with your post editing, just as you are on Facebook (even adding hidden messages in your Facebook posts sometimes -- yes, we've seen those, and how old are you again?)  You completely changed this first paragraph.  What the hell are you talking about, "an attorney needs to contact Albert and Metalguy66 again"?  An attorney has never contacted me with regards to anything of that nature.  Are you taking your meds today?

Also, just stop lying about accounts you've created, you're just digging your hole even deeper.  What's going on is you created a new account to evade your ban so you could ask various programming-related questions.  You should focus on permanently deleting all your existing Facebook accounts and cleaning up all the crap you've posted on Facebook.  Maybe focus on your games?  And get another hobby?  The amount of time you spend nurturing these accounts and posting all sorts of drivel with them is mind boggling. As long as you continue down this path, we will continue to document it.

Uh, this reminds me of another person you may actually remember from a certain long thread...

Oh, you totally do remember! :D That's funny (for a lack of a better word) how certain people follow a similar modus operandi, innit?
