Done!

I know how hard it is for these non-profits to raise money in this current COVID environment.  My daughter is a graphic artist in media/marketing for The Cure Starts Now based in Cincinnati (look it up and maybe purchase a mask from them - hey Tommy how about Intellivision teaming up with them to sell Intellivision masks on their website with a portion going to their cause...just an idea).  All of the big fund raising events they would normally have they can’t due to COVID.  They really have had to come up with new ways to get their message out in order to get donations.

Tommy,

I know you're bringing Atari 2600 games to Amico.  I think the list is 12 games.  If you decide to expand that list, perhaps this could be a title.

On August 5th, 2020 during our live event update we announced that the original Intellivision game Bomb Squad (originally released in 1982) is now being reimagined exclusively for Intellivision Amico!

This was the announcement video from our August 5th event. We are looking forward to sharing more about this game over the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

 

 

I was not a fan of the original Bomb Squad, probably because I didn't give it much of a chance.  However, the re-imagined version has my attention and the fact that you can play co-op has me intrigued!  Hopefully this game continues the pick up and play approach as I think this will make a difference in giving the game more of a chance and the overall enjoyment.  Thanks Tommy for putting this out there.  It's just more fuel for the fire when it comes to waiting for the release of the Amico! 😎

Awesome!!  Thank you!  Will check out The Cure Starts Now as well and pass it on to my team!

Yeah... absolutely!  Literally ANYONE can pick up and play no matter what your skill level!  Going to be showing a teaser gameplay video soon!

You and me both.  Lol.  I would like a video every day until launch but that's not going to happen.

I'd like to see some of the Imagic reimagined games. Really looking forward to Microsurgeron hope that game is launching in the near future.

Yes, we need to see more Imagic game videos.  So far, they only showed Safe Cracker.  There hasn't been any update if that game is finished.

Imagine on the day Amico launches & Tommy says that he got the license for Tron on the same day.  It would be fantastic.

That's good to know.  I'm just saying if you waited and did the reveal on launch day.  But the sooner the better.

I'm preparing myself Tommy.  Bring it on.

Countdown?  What countdown?  I've been out of the loop the last little while just busy with work and a NEW PUPPY we got over Christmas.  Hoping to catch up on Intellivision news I've missed...is the console still on track for 4.3.21 launch!?

Here's Lupo by the way
