CONFIRMED by Intellivision CEO: the new Amico system is made of stone, just like the new "Atari" contains real wood. 

It will probably end up being "real" imitation wood!

They start shipping today!

 

When I ordered I got an email that said I would get another email when it was shipped.  Has anyone out there received an email stating their shirt has shipped?

Not me.

Hahaha! WKRP in Cincinnati... "It's genuine plastic. Don't settle for imitations!"🤣

This reminds of a disgusting cereal called Waffelos.  Read the tagline out loud and slowly.  It sounds worse the more you think about it.

America is a magical land.   In Canada we are still stuck with the real stuff, from real maple trees.   The horror! The horror!

But you get a free Waffaloville building! 😢

Waffelo Bill was the best, man!  The blueberry ones were even better!

Don't forget these!

Four bowls of this and you've got 100% USRDA of seven vitamins and iron!

I never remember anything,I just hope that whatever intellivision stuff I order from whoever,shows up eventually.

Actually,that has worked out pretty well for me so far!😄

I was the very first order taken and I received my email 3 days ago and my shirt came in the mail today.  We sold over 500 shirts in the first week so depending on your order number (my order number was #1) you'll probably be getting it by next week.

Do you know a guy on the inside? 😂

I got the mail yesterday, I'm the #13

I’m 176 still a ways to go but that’s cool!  Very happy to hear so many shirts were preordered!

Order # 415.   Holds head down in shame.   
 

Though I wish I waited a few minutes.  Could have been order number 420.  That’s got street cred.   

Hi folks,#156 here!

Glad to see we all have a number id in the new intellivision world.😄👍

#219 here.  I think I need to go through my t-shirts (video game themed and concert shirts) to make room for this one!

#332 for me, already cleaned out my t-shirt drawer but still no “shipped” email. My fault for procrastinating 😂

Hi Tommy ! Do you think everyone will receive his t-shirts before December 3rd ?

I am asking because the way I see it right now with comments on this topics, not a lot of people received an email telling them the shirt was shipped.

Hope you are not shipping only 10 shirts each day !!?  ( I am # 446 !! ) But I can understand it's better to pay people working on games instead of shipping t-shirts ! lol

I have other questions, and they are all about Burger Time. (Questions in bold)

What can you tell us about the rights for this game ?

I am a little late, but I just saw Burger Time Party for Nintendo Switch.

I have to say it looks good, but I did not play with it yet. I will probably wait for a discount. It's not a great price point like it will be with Amico Games, but it's not 60$ either.

So I was surprised to see this game on the switch. Will it be the same game but with some extra that only Amico can deliver !?

Are you a little disappointed that this game (that can be played up to 4 players) was released on Nintendo Switch before a version on Amico ?

But one thing is sure. With all the games on the switch, probably not a lot of people are aware that a burger time game is already out !!

Auto Racing seemed to be a little like Rush Rush Rally Racing on the Dreamcast. A good thing!

 

Rush Rush Rally Reloaded!

Yes.  You will have your shirts before Dec. 3rd for sure.

We have the rights for Burgertime.  Ours will be different than the Switch and will be more focused on the original and more couch co-op and vs. modes.

Not disappointed at all.  Ours will be much better and most of the people who will be buying an Amico don't play Switch.  And as you mentioned... even they do... how are they going to find Burgertime on the Switch with the other 1,000 games that exist.  Some as low as .99 next to games that are $60.

Anyone want to make an argument against our business model and audience we're going for?

Our kids age 21,20,16 and 15 still play just dance and guitar hero..all on the Wii. Had the same console since day 1. 
 

Hope Amico can replace it as my go to family machine!
