Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

I used a modded Xbox Original "way back when" solely for XBMC (younger whippersnappers might be familiar with it's current iteration called KODI)

We watched lots of 720p and 1080i content from my Windows SMB share courtesy of that cable. Also was a great MAME setup that eventually got put in an Jamma cabinet using the Ultimarc cables

All I heard was you watch nerd porn via your Xbox.

Hi Tommy. Sounds good. I'll be there for it. BTW, Take a look at this John Dougherty Intellivision game Old Skool High and see what you think. It's a lot like Pac-Man/Pac-Man Jr. You can throw erasers at the bullies to stun them with the fire button. The controls need a little tweeking, maybe, but might be a great update. This is the original free rom version from ~2007.

Old School is one of the most underrated homebrews on the Inty. Seriously fun. On the next next Intellivisionaries episode I think we're going to be doing our top ten of the Original 125 as well as our top 5-10 homebrews and, spoiler alert, Old School will be on mine. 👍🏻

Can I ask what I think is any easy question?

 

What exactly is a tough question for Tommy about the Amico at this point?

 

I see Tommy promoting the interview coming up soon and I always enjoy watching them. I appreciate that he’s open to any question, but what tough questions are left to ask? And how is that even defined... one he doesn’t know the answer to?... one where the public’s knowledge is somehow better than his research and first-hand experience?

 

I would think that considering all the experience on the Amico team, and the investors/stores/governments they've dealt with, they’ve already (successfully) answered all the tough questions to even get this far.

 

Even when he’s repeating stuff I’ve already heard, I still enjoy the heck out of these interviews, but it struck me today that I have no idea what a realistic tough question for him would be at this stage. No doubt there are loads of questions that he hasn’t been asked from the public, but I wonder how many of them would really be tough for him to field. 

Yeh, I don't think there are any.  It is a rehash of the same stuff.. People that don't want to understand "yes we know the Amico is not for everyone, but there are some key areas this new console will do very well in, and no you can't do the same exact thing with mobile games as of now.  Amico will bring something new to the table in how these games are played and we have a market, a HUGE market, that will welcome this new gaming console!"

These people think they can find a hole in this but they just can't!

That is my quote by the way as I am quoting myself.  No idea if that is proper english or not.  hahaha

After years how's the Amico going to hold up?

The replayability of the games is key. With simple games how much replayability will there be? Unless there's grate games with new things to offer. New ideas but old concepts.like space shooters with like more levels more variety of new power up or something. Something fun for everyone. Then that also leads to will the console be popular. Will there be more exclusives for the system. Something like not reimaginings but completely new games we've never seen before. If successful will there be more consoles in the future? "Wouldn't that be something".

You're 100% correct.   It's all just hater hyperbole at this point.  There isn't a single "tough" question I haven't answered.

Twice over the past month I have purposely gone into the haters dens to see what they had.  Canadian Gamer actually defends us at this point (admits the machine isn't for him but understands the target market)... and TonyTGD well... that was just a plain massacre with him just trying to fight with me the entire time (while getting simple statistics and misunderstanding articles completely wrong).

So yeah... I'm with you.  And I say it at the beginning of EVERY interview (as I will again tonight).  Ask me as many tough questions as you'd like.  I have great answers for every one of them.

 

 

 

You act very professional during all the interviews. I cannot understand why certain people want to cause problems for no reason. What is the underlying reason for this narcissistic behavior? Not to be negative, but I would still like to knock out that TonyTGD dude's teeth out. I can't stand that no talent ass clown!

I watched part of that guy. What a bad comedian! And he's way too fat for that Manga Avatar.

"patents pending" or surprise he have to keep along the way

as a guy with patents, once its patent pending , you can discuss it. Thats why you get the patent pending. It gives you a year to start the clock on your patent and talk about it and begin to sell

Anyone here familiar with Dixit? Wouldn't that make a good Amico game? I know it says up to 6 players, but I think we’ve played it with 8 in the past. But then we’ve had that “tightly huddled around the game board” issue. 

I agree, Dixit would be good. Mysterium is another that it somewhat similar (kind of a cross between Dixit and Clue) but the set up is quite annoying so could be great on the Amico.
