Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

1 hour ago, Relicgamer said:

I can confirm this. Kevtris was even saying stuff that could be deemed racist with attacks on the people of the United Arab Emirates namely Dubai  by calling them a $Hithole that just happens to have a lot of oil money. 

All because the one guy Tommy went to meet that works for Intellivision has a McLaren

That’s disappointing, especially since I didn’t know this was the FPGA Kevtris. I love the Analog products! It’s like they say, “Die a hero, or live long enough to be a villain.”

Also, as someone who spent 4 yrs in the ME and has gone to Dubai on business many times, it’s probably one of the most luxurious places to live/work as an expat. Most of it is like a 5 Star mall/resort area. Loved my time there and always enjoy my visits. I’m not speaking at all about their politics or regard for workers, but no way would anyone who has been there call it, or any of the Emirates, a shithole. He should go fix the water in Flint before casting stones.

My point is these guys are not interested is doing anything other than try to destroy this company. And it's clear they are unhinged. 

I'm certain they are discussing it now. And making excuses,  hi Kevtris. 

They try to dig up stuff on me or twist a conversation I had to make or anyone that exposes their behavior as inappropriate. 

All I am is the messenger. 

I just pull out facts solid evidence. Those facts help support why they behave the way they do.  

Sorry the truth hurts. This is why they had me removed from their public discord. Why Tony blew his top in a live show with me. 

And why they have to control the discussion in their safe place. Because people like me they fear.

Because they always lose. 

Tommy,

i heard that you may be bringing Amico to the uk before launch. If you are, will it be open to the public to view, as I would love to come and have a go and meet you and your team. 👍😀🇬🇧

Tommy,

If you only knew the death threats that I have got since covering Amico, the vile and gross comments about me and my family, the racist comments about my kids and wife.   All I ever wanted to do when I started talking about Amico a few years back was to share the joy of anticipating a new game console like we did back in the days as kids/teenagers.  I have never waivered once, nor will I. I have Spent countless hours of my own time creating content, bringing people together and building a community I can be proud of. A community that has outgrown me bigtime  .  I never needed [mention=67627]Tommy Tallarico[/mention] to come on my channel to convince me about Amico, like so many I was already there! He had me at Amico!

Actually , I never close this tab ! I have a problem ! My name is Cranker and I can’t stop looking on the Atariage forums  for news on the Amico and I need help ! 😂 

I don't ever close the tab either.  Difference is I often go days or weeks without ever looking at a computer or cell phone (other than phone calls which I also often ignore).  When I finally have time to switch to this tab, I'm sometimes dozens of pages behind...

Tommy,

I heard you may be bringing the Amico to Richmond Hill Canada before launch, specifically my house. I would go vegan if you make this happen.

But you would be permitted to have bacon 🥓 right ? 😂

best way to go... you just won the gold star for the day!   I'm convinced we lived better in the 80s without all this techno crap.

This is insane. Death threats over a game system!!!?? What is wrong with people.

If you can figure that out let us know.  I got smacked by a user on the Retropie forum for suggesting to another new user what version and romset he should use for MAME.  I thought I was helping the new guy by keeping it simple.  This other sub-idiot hammers me that I'm giving him false info... I'm wrong...what I said is ridiculous.. etc.    The way the guy acted was as if I was saying that the Sun revolved around the Earth.  🙄🙄

It's a fucking game system... get a life...

I haven't been on in a while. I'll take one. Just send me your PayPal.

Perception is reality.

I perceive that you are a Brony lover. 

Very disappointed in hearing that kevtris is trashing your wife.  I have found his products (Analogue) to be extremely cool, but just always out my price range.  I don’t know why he would see Amico as the competition when Analogue products are about purely playing your original retro carts on a modern device without software emulation.  I don’t see the connection with that and Amico.  After hearing about this behavior from him I would recommend building a MiSTer instead of going with an Analogue product.  There is no excuse for behavior like that.

Wow, didn’t realize the stupidity extended that far, guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Sorry to hear about that Pete (and Tommy); that is just ridiculous.  I think Social media would be much more social if anonymity wasn’t part of it and there was potential consequences to your one allowed online identity. Got to think that anyone who pull’s in family members and makes death threats and other despicable comments and behavior over this kind of content or console doesn’t have much well going on in their own real lives, or is otherwise coming from a bunch of 13 year olds, and most definitely from those at minimum acting as such.  I strongly believe in karma and that you will get back what you put out; good or bad. 
 

On that, thank you so much for the time and effort you put into you channel. I always look forward to watching and know that I’m not the only one. 
 

Take care.

Love the cover artwork so far as well.

 

How many additional levels will your version of Evel Knievel include? Just the skycycle location or also more jump locations for single player mode? Can you post a screenshot highlighting some of the visual improvements you added?

 

I must say I wasn't superexcited about this game at first hand, but the multiplayer alone seems to be big fun. 🙂

 

Will all digital counterparts of the physical releases also have the same price? Are they all in the 9.99 segment, as you said rigid force will come out at that price if I remember correctly?

 

Could there be one or two total surprise launch titles (in addition to the 6th packed-in game) that you do not tell us anything about until you reveal all the launch title close to release?

Hi Tommy,

I still would like to read your answer to these questions.

Maybe you can spice this up with some descriptions about the gameplay concepts of dolphin challenge, flying tigers (Multiplayer?) and the new spaceship game in the e3 presentation?

Ok, but here is one example where I stumbled while reading: in English "season" can mean spring, winter etc. but also a set of episodes of a tv show. In German these are two completely different words. In the Finnigan Fox text the wrong word is used sometimes saying "Staffel" instead of "Jahreszeit". No intention to nitpick or offend someone, just a friendly advice that IMHO the text feels a bit "google translatory" overall when reading. 

 

Apart from that, thanks for the info, Dynablaster and Brain Duel seem to be really fun.

Hi Tommy,

here I feel you still have an open flank, the texts on the German product pages don't read like the result of a perfect localization, my advice would be to let it proofread by other native German speakers, maybe even by the game developers of Finnigan fox themselves to see if they are fine with the text.Just want to be helpful here...

Yeah... it's pretty disgusting behavior actually.  And the fact that he follows and seems to know so much about my wife and what she does on a daily basis... is more than just a bit creepy.

That's freaking psycho. I guess any public platform you put yourself on can open up the possibility for crazy crap like this. I'm sorry to hear that Tommy. I agree, it is disgusting.

Same, it looks like I am parked in this thread 24/7 but it could be days or weeks before I am actually reading or catching up.

Nintendo just announced a new Switch.  Looks nice, but it may not be the Pro model that all the people in the know were talking about. So for now, I'm calling it the Semi-Pro. Nothing about 4k. While I do like the larger screen. Better kick stand. Possible updated Dock?  Less scratchy screens? LAN connectivity built in. I'll need to see it first hand to see if I want to "upgrade".   I do love my switch. It's all dependent on price. I don't remember seeing it in the ad.

It's $350.  That was the price for the Wii U Deluxe model.

I love how the internet is awash with praise for Nintendo releasing a new Hardware, yet the PS Vita had an OLED 10 years ago...  Nintendo is smart, when cutting edge tech becomes cheap they put it in their new console to maximize profits and lower risks.  Wow, sounds like a strong business strategy for a startup to borrow from if you ask me.... LOL .... I wonder does @Tommy Tallarico know about this strategy???  LMAO

Stop hiding.  Why not have a respectful and adult conversation.  Are you capable?  I am.

Ok, I am going to try this one more time, in a different way.  Please listen everyone. 📣

Now, I’m only going to say this once, please don’t import drama from outside of AtariAge or use this thread or AtariAge to attack others.  Maybe you guys can use social media or perhaps a forum dedicated to Amico, we really do not want to be involved or have it present in our forums?

Please keep this particular thread on the subject of Amico Q&A.

If you think Albert disagrees with me, you can piss him off in his busy schedule and ask him. I would call that subroutine PissOffAlbert(bool bCond); and bCond equals TRUE.

Back to work now.

Not exciting In the least for me, I’ll stick with my “regular” switch. It would have to be a much bigger upgrade to get me excited,  But for those who are excited that’s great !

If you've never compared the Vita's OLED screen to the Switch's screen in person, I can tell you that there is an unbelievable difference in quality. It's very hard to photograph (I just tried 8 times unsuccessfully), but the Vita's screen is far superior in every way aside from 2 things, the first being resolution (960x544, I believe, compared to the Switch's 1280x720). The other is that the Vita's screen is BLINDINGLY BRIGHT at its lowest setting and it makes me wonder if I'm going to go blind when I turn the thing on in the middle of the night. The Switch thankfully has a much dimmer minimum setting than the Vita does. I literally just posted about the difference in screens less than 24 hours ago in another thread here, now that I think about it...
