Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

43 minutes ago, Tommy Tallarico said:

9 games no one has ever seen before (or I've talked about)

So, here is some guess and hope. Number 1 is for 9 pts, # 2 for 8 points, etc.
Let's play with me !?  (Skiing doesn't count, because we know it will be there with 7 levels, and I don't know if it's part of the 9 games we never saw! ( We saw pictures, but not the game in action ! )

Guess :

1- Pong

2- Burgertime
3- Frogger
4- Centipede
5- Baseball
6- Hockey
7- Demon Attack

Hope :

8- Microsurgeon
9- Horse Racing

Probably we could see 1 recreational game like Corn Hole, but not sure it will be if the trailer is for retro fan !

i have a question for Tommy. When will production begin ? I realize the final hardware has to be locked down before production can begin. With all

of the issues in China and it being mentioned in the last few weeks that things were 98% complete with the hardware .......just wondering. 
 

I can’t wait for the new video on Monday and will buy all of the games discount or no discount !!

That would be amazing !! I would rebuy them all ! I was thinking of those games but thought because of the pricing (around 25 unless they are on sale) the jack box games would not fit into the pricing model of the Amico. 

What if they were sold separately?

Moving target.  No one who is doing anything electronic knows the answer to that question right now (unfortunately).

I was thinking about corn hole last night and am sure it would be a hit as a family game !! I am Also strangely excited for pong ....lol ...Bring on reimagined burger time !!

Now you are talking !!! I actually have always wished that they would be sold separately since there are Usually only  2-3 games out of 5 I want. I love jack box games but they sometimes make 2-3 versions or updates to the same game and they end up being very similar, and some are just very weird in my opinion ! But the ones that are good make up for the weaker ones. I’m sure there are many people who love the ones I don’t, so selling them individually would be perfect ! Is your idea to have the same versions as we do now with some questions removed or new versions with added questions ? i ask  this because there are many fun jack box games that I would love to play with my daughter but are not a good fit due to the type of questions / responses etc ...I understand that you might not be able to answer my question at this time due to many reasons. Jack box games are unique and in my opinion  they have no competition at the moment in the type of entertainment they provide and definitely belong on the Amico !! When use my switch , at least 50% of the time (maybe even 75%) it’s to play jack box games. That what friends and family want to play !

Just throwing out a suggestion, but you may want possibly create a cool "sports" trailer. Showing off intellivision upcoming sports games.  Sports the world over are being cancelled left and right, by next week I suspect they all will be. Incredible right, never happened before. so I think you tube and so forth are going to see unbelievable amount of viewers since hundreds of millions of sports fans wont have anything to watch.  So with a trailer you give us all two things we REALLY ALL need right now

  A) a little sports video for our eyeballs

 B) a little sanity and peace of mind thinking back to our secure and safe past. People are afraid right now and should be so Intellivision can really capitalize on nostalgia.  Nostalgia gives us all a safe place to go in our mind back to when the world made sense, it was safe, and times were good.

So perhaps a few .. Remember when the world made sense type videos playing on nostalgia and of course the ability to enjoy sports..

So we are two ! Yes, Edutainment too !   (Probably 5$ to 8$ for them !? )

Even if you are not a fan of Apple, there is no denying, as a company, they have achieved great things some of us now take for granted.

I remember this commercial when it 1st came out... and I still enjoy it today.

Wondering if one day we will see some ads like this from Intellivision?

Come to think about it... and maybe I don't watch the right stations... but does Sony and Nintendo and even Xbox have prime time commercials these days?  I don't recall ever seeing any.

Not saying for Intellivision to do TV commercials but... well placed ads and videos can go a long way.

I look forward to seeing what @Tommy Tallarico and the Intellivision crew come up with in the coming months and years.

Actually... we had some mega planned with E3... and it was partly because the likes of Sony & Microsoft weren't on the main floor.

 

No worries though.  Just another small barrier that we'll need to navigate around.  Nothing can stop us!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

bummer...

But next up... anyone interested in checking out a new 3 minute trailer that includes new footage from 22 games!  9 games no one has ever seen before (or I've talked about) and other things like more Astrosmash levels, 4 new Moon Patrol levels and 7 Skiing levels!

We need a 22-minute trailer! With 3 minutes and 22 games it's only 8.18 seconds per game. That's less than the first trailer! (8.35s). Only in the first trailer you were talking and showing the console. So I hope that now you don't pitch anything and it's all gameplay footage 😉. Are you still in "tease" mode?

There are going to be about 15 games in the trailer I think.  All super quick cuts though... we are still in the "tease" mode.

We have so much to say/show at E3 that even if we show a bunch of new game footage... we still have so much more to show and announce in June.  So it still won't be a let down to anyone.

You can take something from the E3 stuff and put it in the trailer.

And then 2 more MEET AMICO videos by the end of the month!

Can we see console and controllers being used at the same time? So far we've seen pc monitors and laptop screens, but not the console hooked up to a big ass TV (I'm sure you guys have one, and a couch where you try out the games). Also controller demos were running on the controller screen, so far we haven't seen controllers "control" anything, just phones 😥. We want to see the whole system working as intended, that would be truly great 🙏

Yeah... that is one of our concerns.  Trying to break away from the "Subscription" model that everyone is trying to get people on.  We want to be different.  Amazing value and amazing prices.  Sounds good to me!

 

 

Xbox live gold provides a free game every month and you can download it to your hard drive and keep it. You don’t lose the games if you cancel the subscription.

Which game that was in the August 2019 teaser will not be in the trailer on monday, and why !? 🤔

Normally Mondays suck.  I mean weekend is over and you have to go back to work.

But with this teaser from @Tommy Tallarico about new trailers... I am so ready for Monday!

We have a VERY SPECIAL and unique way to "earn" discounts.  More info coming this summer!

 

 

Sounds good!

Small advertisement for Pete's hard work and contagious love for Amico !

It's only 4 minutes, and maybe he will be more successful than I in getting you involved in this little "riddle"! lol

Well now.. No e3, but we are getting more trailers on Monday. A new pre-order by the end of the month.-Insert subtle hint about wanting to see Earthworm Jim in action -.  More videos on the Amico itself. It's shaping up to be a good month for us! Thank you @Tommy Tallarico!

Speculation on some of the new games being shown - Earthworm Jim... Earthworm Jim... Earthworm Jim. Zaxxon. Battle Zone.  Star Strike. A Tron Game. Did I mention EWJ?

I would love to see the 1982 Tron arcade game . It was so cool !
