It was another Amico rap video he did.  I don't know why he keeps making videos private.

Yeah!  We are gearing up towards Black Friday.. although we're going to buck the trend and do it a few days earlier so we don't get lost in the shuffle. 

20% discount coming for mailing list folks... so wait til the e-mail comes before you get anything new!

Listened to folks in here asking for all different color shirts with JUST the Running Man logo! 

Done deal!!  Coming soon!!  Should be in there over the next few days.  LOTS of choices!

If it could be somehow monitized.. We could put the money made into the "Help Tommy get Tron on the Amico" fund and "We want a Willy Wonka game on the Amico" fund.

I think everything got either rushed or delayed with Covid. I suspect Sony and M$ felt like they couldn’t slip so they did a ship & fix instead.

Probably a good guess.  I have no idea.

I just know that we would never be given the same leeway as Sony & Microsoft.. so we better have our stuff together right out of the gate.

This is great news.  Thanks Tommy.  Love those discounts.  Let's make it 50% off.  Oh and free shipping too.  Just kidding.

I'm still waiting for a T-shirt with ONLY the running man logo on it, and nothing else.  Tommy has said in multiple threads that he would make that happen, but it still hasn't.  And I am not going to buy a shirt like that from a questionable site that I am not confident in.

 

So...still waiting Tommy!  🙂 

Yep!  On it's way over the next day or so.

Remember to wait til next week so you'll get the e-mail discount for 20%.

Thanks!

Have you ever heard about Rainbow? @Tommy Tallarico It was a very popular children's television programme over here in the British Isles, it ran from 1972 to 1992:

Like Sesame Street I wonder whether it would be a good basis for an Amico game for younger children? 😊

I haven't.  Will need to check it out for sure.  Thanks for the link.

I'm glad the old logo was changed.

 

Every time I looked, it reminded me of a gas station.

 

Hahahahha!   True dat!

I whipped that sucker up in Photoshop a few days before we completed the announcement trailer for PRGE back in 2018.  Before we had an art dept. 

You can see that parts of the ICO still kinda remain in the form of the final logo.

Nice E.T.  I see what you did there.

Since Tommy likes root beer, there should be a Root Beer Man game on Amico.  I made a post a while ago about Pepsi Man and that Amico should have Coca Cola Man on it.  But Root Beer Man sounds better.  Lol.

Um...

HELLO!!  Don't forget THIS!

😂

It occurred to me just now: What if I put a non-Amico item with an RFID chip near my Amico? I'm hoping for something a little more than. "Sorry that is not an Amico related item".  Randomize the errors with some humor.

 

If you put the Mario Amibo on the console or controller, a mostly red screen pops up and says: "Hey, that looks like something you may want to call a plumber about". "Where is your brother?" "We saw a Princess go through thataway!" Go obscure and say "Jellyfish made a good song about you and your friends".  Link here. If the Amico is connected to the internet, it could send the ID up and you could push the data down in no time at all.  Little things like that no other company would think of.

 

I know that is feature creep.. But it would be fun. 

We have some pretty funny things in store for that!!

Maybe even a few easter eggs as well.

Hi Tommy !

I need a black hat (cap?) with the Intellivision Amico Logo please.

Thank you.

Tommy, 

Is it possible that the IE shop can do free shipping for the holidays?  They could do it from now until 12/31.

I really hope we get a social deception game for the Amico. Werewolf (Secret Hitler, Mafia, etc) have a big following and of course Among Us has exploded recently

Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang released his first song & video for him upcoming album. Did it during the Howard Stern show this week.

 

He played EVERY instrument (including singing). It's really great!

 

But oh man... watch the video. Super emotional. He wrote this for the passing of his dad.
