That's great Tommy.  But I don't recall the Amico version being exclusive.  Lol.

This is my absolute favourite so far. Not even close. Cloudy Mountain next? 🤔 @Tommy Tallarico please add this to your Wonka book. Add to top of Amico Special Editions list. 

Yes, a Cloudy Mountain edition would be wonderful.  I mentioned an EWJ edition last year and one for E.T. as well.  What about a Burger Time or Evil Knievel edition?

This is a snippit from the latest Geeks with Cash interview with Tommy.  He picked this up and said... "a bag of discs"... My inner 12 year old chuckled. I'm sure that we all have a few people in our lives  we could say 

 

"Go eat a bag of discs!"

A lot of questions that folks have been asking were answered in the live stream interview I did last night with Nick from Geeks With Cash.

 

For those who may have missed it, it was a good one last night!  Included short tour, talking with Intellivision hardware tech/designers, dev kit reveals and CFO Nick even shows up to give me crap.  :)

Lots of new info and reveals.

 

 

 

 

I liked when you showed the light cycle.  That was awesome.

Interesting article that just came out in the UK about mobile gaming.  Something I've been talking about for ages.

What are your thoughts??

https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-56215030?catid=entertainment

That was a good article.  Very informative.  Thanks for sharing.  I never pay for apps, especially game apps.  Also, I don't do micro transactions or anything.  I always go the free route.

Hey Tommy, here's an interesting/difficult question:

 

- Have you ever thought about ambidextrous fighting sticks on the Amico?-Just kidding! This is the real question:

 

- Are you 100% sure the problems that made the April launch impossible will not happen again in September? If so, could you give more details as to why the prices of the components/shipping will not be a problem this time?

I wonder when the new Amico video will drop this month?  Maybe tomorrow or next week?

It has been a bit dry this week!

Honestly this is huge for me. In app ads & pay to play really lower my enjoyment and I steer away from games I simply can't buy outright. Unfortunately as the article points out developers face an uphill battle in charging for their games on mobile so I am seeing less and less mobile games which I can even buy. Bottom line is if you bring an mobile game to the Amico - without any other changes except drop add & in game monetization - that is enough for me to buy the game on the Amico.
