Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

39 minutes ago, Tommy Tallarico said:

Still waiting for it to show up on the Google Play Store.  It's already been approved days ago... and we "flicked the switch"... just waiting (which is why the e-mail blast and social media posts haven't gone out yet).

 

I tried searching for "Amicoclub" in the Google Play store (no spaces), and it came as the top result. Searching for 2 words did not work.

I know everyone is hyped over Moon Patrol but just a little love for the animated logo video

Haha yeah, it's awesome. I hope that's on the Amico when it boots up

The official tweet is out https://twitter.com/Intellivision/status/1203068118056046592?s=20

Direct links to the apps - don't forget to give a 5 star review to help people find the apps:

Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Intellivision.Amico.ARTShirt1

Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amico-club/id1489421896

Added it to my iPhone no problem love it a lot of fun and I 5 stared it. Tried to do the same with my RCA Viking Pro tablet but I guess it’s too old to be compatible or there is some other issue it just says no compatible devices so couldn’t 5 star there as well

Me too on my old Alexa tablet with the Google Play Store side loaded. I am sure it probably is the Android version (it is pretty ancient).

EDIT: Yep pretty old - Fire OS 5.6.4.0 which is basically Android 5.1.1 Lollipop

I particularly loved the sound design.

We have already fixed the issue for older Android devices and are uploading and resubmitting now.  Should be working on ALL Android devices by later this evening or tomorrow morning at the latest!

I used this to get it to work. 🤣

I think mine might run 6.0 don’t remember what it was called I prefer a keyboard on my tablet so u found that one for max of $99 with the keyboard attachment included so I knew it wasn’t top of the line lol

I am also in the "only if it is cheap" android tablet club (phones am willing to spend more on). The Amazon tablets are OK and can be had cheap on Prime Day sales and such. Easy to side load the Google Store and off you go. Still have ads on the splash screen but I just use them for media viewing & development testing anyway.

I would bet so. It is what we would call "as cute as a bug's ear" back home in the hills. Looks like they are building in that same sense of delight you get from the Wii menus into the Amico. Can't help but think moms and kids are going to be drawn into this thing from the boot screen onwards.

BUGS HAVE CUTE EARS?!?!?

I'll need to look more closely next time before I stomp one to death.

Amigo club does not appear in the Google play store in Australia. 🥺

Edit - it would help if I signed in first!

Excitement sometimes leads to mistakes lol

FYI Reports are coming in that the new Android version is hot and working already. 

Interestingly, a couldn't find in the store but it worked if I used the link from the email.

Yeah I think it'll take time to filter through. I left a 5 star review to help.

I died pretty quickly but once I got to grips with it I got to the end unscathed. It really does feel like the original! That spread shot is wicked, too

Right there with you - fortunately we got until 10/10/2020 to get into Moon Patrol fighting trim  

Gah, was going so well. Was aiming for 10k. Lol.

Same with Other Ocean, Digital Eclipse and even newcomers like Choice Provisions.  Again... Google most of them and check out their websites.  Very popular and high quality games. 

I've been curious about this one. Other Ocean and the current Digital Eclipse are the same company. (For those not in the loop, it's like saying Disney and Touchstone.) What's the story behind that? A combo of reimaginings and original content from their teams?

Downloaded the app... played the (unfortunately very short) game... 

First impressions... WOW!!!!  

Downloaded,play tested and loved the demo!

Glad the app is up,very exciting times these are for a long time intellivision fan!😀

I look for new videos on Intellivision Amico almost every day somehow I didn’t see this one for two weeks it’s some things we have heard before but some tidbits about multiplayer that were fun to hear such as a way to do multiplayer on a “plane game “ where you are in a bomber

Awesome find! Moon Patrol just got even cooler  I didn't know Tommy held that record, either.
