Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

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.

 

 

Thank you Tommy.

So probably they made a game because they had a deal before you have rights for the game, or you had rights, but decide that they can make a game ?

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 !!

 

i hate the way they made the chef on the Switch Burger Time..they do that all the time when they update a game..they take away the charm of original character..especially in Boulder Dash

The company who owns Burgertime can license it to whoever they want.  We don't own it.  We had our license about a year and a half ago.

TOTALLY agree!!

 

Have you considered making Impossible Burgertime for the vegan crowd? You'll just have to ramp down the cruelty to the pickles and replace the egg with a sustainably sourced avocado.

Or how about a version of Burgertime that is gluten-free? 😝 🤣

Keto-friendly Burgertime or we riot.

I'm all for it! ... as long as we get some snappy jokes about how walking all over virtual beef is just as bad as slaughtering & packaging the real thing.😁

Yes.  Also... Beyond Burgertime with Beyond Burger.

(actually not joking about either.)

Had a nice surprise waiting for me at the mail box after a week of business travel:

That's one awesome hanger!

Just hang it over your chest!

I know - those smooth plastic lines. Don't be fooled by ones from Walmart that look exactly like that, this one is hand crafted from free-range, artisanal plastic. Fortunately I just picked up my Amico T-Shirt so I had something to show it off with.

Oh, that old thing?  ABS plastic hangars are the best.

Yeah!!  It was important to me to keep everything we do as high quality as possible.   Please thank your wife for noticing!  We're adding Women shirts in the store next week as well as some other really cool items and logos.

Going to have bunch of stuff available before Thanksgiving.  Going to have a 25% off code that I'll make sure to post here... although hopefully you're all already signed up to our mailing list at www.intellivisionamico.com

If not... please do so.

Thanks!

You look like a proud new father showing off the new family member. Is that a Willy Wonka gold lottery ticket you are holding?
