Had to shorten Moon Patrol a bit.  It's okay... still 4 levels.

 

Yep.  I'll tell you which one tomorrow. 

 

Hint:  first 3 letters are AD&D.

Maybe find some questions ...    lol

Like ... 

Tommy,

How is it right now in the Intellivision's Office ? Did most of the guy can work from home ?

How is it for each development team right now ? Can the situation cause some delay at developing games ?

And now, we are waiting the trailer, and answers ! 😮  Maybe finding questions it's not a good idea at all  ! 😅 lol

Thank you.

I had Safecracker back in the day for the Intellivision. What I really liked about it was the atmosphere with the city, locations and gangster style cars. The worst part of the game was the driving. The controls were kind of clunky & one wrong move and you would crash. However I love the premise and I think the Amico wheel is going to be so cool to interact with a safe dial, it is kind of a natural fit. This is definitely a game down my alley, however, I even wrote a real safe cracking tool years later (maybe it was inspired subconsciously): http://analoghacking.com/vscale.html

I agree about the driving being clunky.  In fact, all driving Intellivision games were clunky (i.e. auto racing, stadium mud buggies, etc).  I hope Tommy fixes this as it needs to be greatly improved upon!

so playing intellivision baseball back in the day, how many of you guys discovered that outside corner pitch?  If you took it is was a strike, if you swung it went to the 2B/P  99% of the time.  Our games became basically who could execute the pitch the most and almost every game was an extra inning 1-0 game if we even finished them.  Basically in our house the oldest brother won, because he would just start betting on us as we tried to pitch.     Good times

And if your runner would cross the plate before a third out at first base, the run counted. We would just try to get on base and move a runner to third and desperately try to get that run across. So many 1-0 games and loved every minute of it!

23!

 

The amount of games shown in the trailer tomorrow.

 

JUST got in a super amazing SURPRISE that folks here are gonna FREAK over!!

Didn't think it was going to be ready in time... but the developer kicked ass for us to get it in for tomorrow.

 

Editing it in now!

True but OG Safecracker driving was defiantly a “cut below”. However the new disc with 64 contacts should be a lot more sensitive and heck you could even use the tilt sensor as a steering wheel. Nice to see reimagining not only making great games better but fixing some “could have been greats” too. For me Dracula was like that too - nearly a great game but not quite there.

Pacific Time !    😆  lol

All kidding aside, just the announcement of a 3 minute video of game play footage for a new system made by fans and programmers of the original Intellivision, has given me the opportunity to take my mind off other things that are going on in the world, even if just for a few hours.  These are the kind of "interruptions" we need given the current state of things and because of that I want to personally thank Tommy and the rest of the Intellivision Entertainment team for all their hard work to date.  Maybe during this quarantine we are experiencing in the US, I will hook up my Intellivision to help take my mind off the stress I'm sure we are all experiencing because of that damn virus.  LONG LIVE INTELLIVISION!!!  GAME ON!!!

Sorry, I couldn't resist! 😁

Thanks!!!  Haters continue to complain that these are a mobile games... yet each game we do is very stylized and proves that you don't need a super human graphics chip in order to entertain people.

 

I showed a pic to a girl who's a good friend of mine last night of the cornhole game  and told her about amico she was like I dont care how much I will buy just for that alone.  .   She actually just started getting into actually playing cornhole and loves it . She mentioned last might she was watching it on espn so I messaged her  .  

She's def part of your market . But she's a semi hardcore gamer as well but grew up on genesis. 

Them told her about a few other games and she's all in.

Perfect pack in title to get the casuals on board  with amico.  I can so see them being a sponsor on espn or even getting a license from the cornhole league  .

Will this new trailer be revealing the titles of any of the games or will the titles be revealed later?

No titles (except for Safecraker as it's part of the footage).

Most are going to be pretty obvious though.  At least for the folks in here.

Kermit Green: limited edition.

 

Kermit is going to chill next to my woodgrain Amico.

It's not easy being green!

"Adding and Subtracting Challenge"??  I mean, it might be a fun game, but is it really mic drop worthy?  I can't wait to see the video when it's posted.  

Close.

It's actually Alternative Dance & Darts! 

Has the most epic use of motion controls EVER!

Starting yesterday... most folks are working from home until further notice.

Yes.  The virus is causing delays for almost every aspect of our business.

Very cool!!  Thanks for sharing!  Yeah... we've been seeing this kind of reaction for a few years now. 

Have had to just sit there and bite my tongue while ignorant biased dummies on the internetz will tell you how stupid we are and Amico has no audience.

The amazing thing about some of the games we're doing (almost none of which have even been officially announced yet) are the partnerships we are striking up with the "leagues", "organizations", "licensors", etc.  We will literally be getting to tens of millions of people through our partners and whose focus is entertainment with family and friends.  And not just with entertainment and sports type companies... but other MASSIVE mainstream organizations that the game industry has NEVER targeted before because they just keep doing the same thing over and over and over again.

I'd say it's TIME FOR A CHANGE!  And we're prepared to bring it!

Wouldn't that be cool.  

Subway is their biggest sponsor as well.

Buy an amico and 10 games  get a free footlong.   Or buy so many items from subway  using an amico app for special rfid code at point of sale and get game discounts and chance to win prizes or games. 

Came here early figuring I would be 1st in line to watch the new video trailer from Intellivision and @Tommy Tallarico but appears that SOB @OEB_Pete beat me here.  Appears he slept on the sidewalk all night to be 1st.

Don't ask where he is letting the lizard leak!  😂

Hope everyone enjoys the new trailers today!

Call it Intellivision Trailer Tuesday from now on!
