Great.

Thank you GrudgeQ. I let that one to someone else !

Anytime you need a bad pun - I'm your man!

Really nice to see Jim back moving again, a happy day in retro-land

If I have the chance to play Amico, I maybe take consideration to buy it, if there will have Amico booths in stores or friends of mine will have the console.

 

Even looking screenshots or watching videos don't give how to feel when you play on it.

They are planning a mall/store tour to try it before you buy it I believe maybe a stop will be near you

Actually I don't care about PS5 or even Xbox X. Microsoft and Sony are the same and I don't feel I need their consoles either. Intellivision Amico is a newcomer and it catches my attention.

 

The most console I spend most of time is my …

 

 

Laptop.

 

I know non-players who refuse playing video games and they bought a computer, they love playing cards, mostly solitaire. Will Amico have card games too?

Yes it will have card and board games for it

Do you think they will stop at Bergeronnes / Les Escoumins, Quebec, Canada?

There are small villages. I don't want a road trip of 2 hours just to try Amico.

Did someone say Earthworm Jim?  I wonder what the new one will look like?  Wouldn't it be something if I posted a new run animation from the new game?

Hope everyone here follows us on social media!   Keep your eyes open today!  

 

 

Tommy! Looks absolutely fantastic - one note if this is a work in progress, Jim always looked serious/stern when running! He seems to be a little too happy! 

Keep up the great work !

I want a job! I have no cell phone, car or internet access. I can only work from home and only between the hours of 3pm and 5pm, so I'll need a salary of at least $50 an hour to accommodate for my brunches and facials before 3. Hire me!!!!! 😡

Pathetic ... Heartbreaking !   Ridiculous !  

I am almost ready to go to Los Angeles at E3 to see Tommy and try Amico.

Everything seems always complicated with you !🤯

I wonder what you are doing here ! You are always looking at the negative side of everything !

Just the first sentance could have been acceptable.

You want Tommy to go at your door ? lol

You are lucky to have internet at home in your village ! lol

I am so sad to see someone so negative here coming from my province !

Serguei2, you are getting closer. I believe you already have a Youtube channel... You know what to do. It only takes one video, that I suggest titling "The amico is DOOMED without a multiplayer 3D platformer", and Tommy will visit you in Bergeronnes / Les Escoumins dressed as Super Mario to let you try the console. Don't forget to upload an apology video afterwards, something like "I was wrong: The Amico DOES NOT NEED 3D GAMES and you can even play solitaire with it!".

But I am not happy to see someone so negative here coming from my province !

Pathetic you say!

I don't actually bashing Amico but if I can try it first and love it, it will be a winner to everybody here.

I'm not a kind of person who would buy a console because everybody here loves it.

I don't want Tommy to go at my door. If Amico tour stops at stores in my village, it's fine.

Please stop meaning toward me just because I have doubt the upcoming system.

We have Nintendo fans bash other consoles and we have Amico fans do the same.

If I have more questions about Amico, be sure I will post them here.

If and only if I am sastisfy, I might buy the Amico.

Keeping meaning toward me, Tommy might lose a potential buyer or many buyers.

Some people just love to roadblock. They won't even consider it unless their butt is kissed.

Nothing to say against that.

1 of them is completely brand new and never done before... but a fun activity that people all know about and enjoy.


 

OMG! TT....A re-imagined "Beat'em and Eat'em" ?

Agreed.  Serguei2 isn't convinced and seems to be taking a wait-and-see attitude, and I think we should leave it at that.

True.

And thanks for the help.

You are psychic!! 

In this article Amico is mentioned, and following this article I have a question for Tommy if he can answer...

https://www.crresearch.com/youthbeat/blog/technology-for-kids-consumer-electronics-show-2020-recap

They named frogger while talking about retro reimagined games...

Did they randomly choose a name among the thousands of games from the 80's, or they got a scoop ?

It was a Konami game ... ( I am looking Wikipedia...   Oh ! A woman playing frogger during a Video games live tour !  So Tommy probably like this game ... )

Only rumors for now. Can you tell us something about this Tommy ? 🤩

We are in no way in Tommy's back pocket, why the fuck do I have to read all these nonsense reports?  I know Jay is paying attention to this thread, pretty much nobody else is, AA != IA.  Don't like the ice cream, don't fucking eat it and quit fucking bitching about it.   Just like idiots screaming at a news outlet, sad.

The following lyrics should be sung to a karaoke version of "Why don't you get a job?". Please don't take this as a personal attack, it's just a funny way to see a situation where a debate is going nowhere because none of the sides is willing to change their point of view:

Serguei wants a multiplayer Mari-o
His friends want to play solitaire
He wants to try the Amico in his home
Well my friend, I gotta say

Say no way, say no way, no way
Serguei, get an N sixty-four

Tommy won't change the console, no way
Serguei, get an N sixty-four

Back to the Amico, some people in Reddit are speculating that the mysterious "fun activity" of one of the 5 games that will come with the console could be cornhole.

"AA != IA"
