Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

I like Amico Army better.  Although we do seem to have a lot of Navy folks around these parts... so maybe that's a big no no!  

 

 

How about the "Amico Armada"?

I hope Amico fits into a keyboard component contraption that turns Amico into a home computer...you know, so the kids can do their homework and mom and I can balance our budget along with working out with whatever the equivalent of Jack LaLane is nowadays. But I'm pretty sure it's something alot better than that.  😁

I am so ready for the world normalize soon.😷

*dark humor cap on*

Yes!  We've been working on the new Jack Lalanne music/exercise game!

Just finished the cover.  It's an old Saturn remake I'm reimagining...

I can tell you a few that were on "the list" though.

 

Intellivision Spark

Intellivision Quest

Intellivision Prism

 

 

All I can think of is "those are car names", haha. Glad someone thought of Amico!  So many car names, surprised you didn't go with Testarossa.

of those 3 i think Prism was the best..but not better than Amico 

Yeah!  When we went to file, we filed for both Amico & Prism (just in case we couldn't get Amico for some reason).

We actually have the TM for Prism!  So you may see it come up in the future!  Maybe what we'll call the interactive light system or some kind of peripheral add-on.  Not sure.  But we have it if we want.

There is actually another secret and special meaning behind the word Amico that I don't want to tell folks just yet.  Only after the product is released and successful will I.

Fanny packs are very useful for photographers. They'll hold an extra lens, battery, cards or film rolls for you classic snappys.📷

Maybe that Amico also stands for Awesome Magnificent  Intellivision COmpany

A play on Space Armada?  I actually really like that one.  It's better than the "Amico Anarchists"

Speaking of Space Armada, I haven't heard anything about it. Did I miss something? This was my second favorite non-sport game on the Intellivision.

i'm pretty sure the Intellivision Cube would have also made the list had that not been taken already.

So this whole down and dirty fight is happening in like an hour right?

I gotta get in just to ask the burning question...does that ceiling fan actually rotate?

Just got back from getting medication and groceries and I'll tell you wearing a darn mask is hot and stifling. I now have an even greater respect for everyone who works in the medical field.

What odds are they giving? 

Vegas has Tommy at -20.

They won't take my bet on the ceiling fan though.  They said I'm too influential. 

I'm telling you. Ya cant win with bookies

Don't forget the Intellivision Foot Massage System

By the way if I'm wrong about the gambling joke it's because I took all of about 3 minutes to do research. 

I believe -20 would mean a $120 bet on Tommy to win would yield a $100 pay out thus hed be the favorite. 

I could be wrong but really I'm not a gambling man.

RxScram shakes his head and thinks "I left working on nuclear subs and mars rovers to work on a damn foot massage...what was I thinking "

@RxScram

How is Tommy to work for?

Is he as fun a boss as he seems?

Is there a lot of ball busting and joking?

You all seem very professional but also very relaxed in the videos (though some look like Tommy's bugging them and they want to just get back to work)

😂😅🤣

@RxScram

My favorite non-John Alvarado quote is when you said that there was a bunch of cool stuff about the system and you said:

"Can I talk about it?"

And Tommy immediately says "No"

So funny.  It was like a vaudeville routine. 

I almost think you two planned that line.

😂

or, afterwards, John says: "I've told you a million times, Tommy, my right side is more photogenic. My right side!"
