Typical cat. Slap in the middle of stuff. 

And look at me using the overlays like a good little boy!

You know that's not an answer to what will happen to my arm.🤔

EDIT: I need your cat.

"Notice its fine wood texture. Everything back then was made of wood. You know the Stone Age? Well, that was the Wood Age." - AVGN on the Intellivision

Tommy, your whole house was made of wood. The Intellivision, the walls, the furniture...

I wasn't alive for the Wood Age, though, so I missed it.

Somehow the "O" here reminds me of those shitty Burger King onion rings nobody remembers they sell.

Here's a good question that was asked of me on Twitter today and I thought I'd post my response over here as well in case anyone was interested or curious.  I don't believe this topic has really come up here in the past.

Just started thinking... @Tommy Tallarico this AA thread is staring a great game right into front of Intellivisions eyes and you may not see it.

Imagine if you will.....

Tommy drives around in his fast car dodging poo that Pat and Ian plop down in the road in front of him.  Make sure to dodge the poos but WATCH OUT... stumbling in the road are some good guys.  @OEB_Pete not paying attention and staring at the pretty lights on his Amico walks into the road... swerve not to hit him!  @AtariSociety (me) is a stoned Hippy with tinfoil hat sitting in the middle of the road smoking a doobie.... so don't hit me.  @Michael Garvey waves "I LOVE ALVARDO" signs at every corner along with a 75% off Furniture Store closing sale.... I am sure most every person here can be added to in some way... especially the detractors... Beware, these that act all nice can be wolves in sheep clothes not really wanting Amico to succeed.... so hit them for points. 

That is a start.. everyone else can pile on now and add more to this great new game... Amico AA Thread - the Video Game.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, when did running people over with a Ferrari and smoking doobies coincide with Amico's mission statement of Safe Affordable Family Entertainment?...lol

C'mon Grandma it's your turn...take a toke and run those bitches over!!!

We also have another exclusive VIP Pre-Order program going on with a 3rd party partner (not a retailer) that will get us access to a new audience of potentially interested folks.

ZERO difference from what folks can already do directly through us.

Retail will have their pre-orders coming next month as well.

So same colors or a new one will also be added ?

Thank you.

Right up until the cat decides that they slide real nice on the kitchen floor and they end up under the fridge for the next 27 and a half years.😉

Me & my brother would make up team logos for MLB Baseball and keep team stats and do mini seasons and play-off's, etc.!   The new generation of kids playing Intellivision Baseball may not need to do that. 
(Wouldn't That Be Something™?)

Yes it would be something, but it would be good if you could do the exact same thing with the new hockey game.  Now that WOULD be something! 😎

All the goodies to bribe Pete are packed and ready to go !! I’m in Quebec which is a short drive ! Pete ............I will be there tomorrow morning and expect to hear all of your secrets about the Amico while you feed me waffles 🧇 and Bacon 🥓 !! Lol 😂 and don’t forget I like real maple syrup and freshly squeezed orange juice !

 

 

I don;t really Like Bacon..... Make it fried Bologna please!  Also we need to keep social distance so be like a paper boy and throw it at my door,  I will yell what I know

We've spoken about it.  Looking into it.  Depends on costs.  That audience really isn't our main focus right now (hardcores).  I could think of a lot better ways to spend $20,000 - $30,000 on getting to the folks we are intended to hit.

 

 

That makes sense.  Only reason I asked was that I went last year and it seemed alot of people were attracted to the indie game section.  But that is alot of money for a booth. And so far you guys seem to be doing good without spending on ads.

Ok another question maybe its been asked. If it has let me know and I'll just look. Just alot of questions on here. Earthworm Jim.... 1 and 2 will they be on the Amico?  Also any chance global gladiators or cool spot?

This is part of the new Adultutainment marketing of Amico.

Same exact thing as ours.  So only the 3 colors.

I'll let folks know when the Purple & Red are coming.

It's not only the booth cost (to get those numbers) but it's doing it right so it's not just a few tables.  People will expect high quality (or else we'll look like bozo's).  Then there's the travel & hotels and food for the entire team, etc.  Adds up quick!

We were talking about at some point redoing all of those and just upgrade the graphics and audio (same exact gameplay and design).  Just an idea at this point.  Wouldn't be for a few years though.

I'd love a new cool spot though

I didn't see this video posted here prior. If I missed. Sorry for the double posting. This came into my feed this morning. Can't seem to escape Alton Brown, Bon Appetit, Amico, and new shocking Tiger King Revelations. Food, fun, and I don't know what to call that last category.
