Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

If you already have the headphones you buy a Bluetooth receiver that plugs into your headphone jack on the tv that’s what I did works great 

Thanks, any chance anyone has something similar?  2 concerns, 1) TV is wall mounted, and would have to plug in at each use (mutes tv), 2)  latency,(which may also be an issue if connected direct to Amico)

ever hear of tape on mustaches?  Yarn can work too.

Do you own a cat?  Pet him for a few minutes and make sure to apply a small amount of honey with the hair and dabble on your chin.  

Do this daily and you will then grow a nice beard.

I put soy sauce on vanilla ice cream once to see what it tasted like. Is that worse?

I ate a peanut butter & sauerkraut sandwich for a $1 bet/dare once. 🤑

I bought low latency headphones for like $40 on Amazon rarely ever have any issues and when I do it’s only a few seconds then it’s fine.  I also use Velcro straps for cable management not really sure about the wall mounted part. I did swap to a thicker better quality audio cable for it though

Actually I think it's more likely that we're all in stay at home orders and have no reason to shave, can't get our hair cut, or feel up to tweezing the nose hairs out.

A dollar? I'd at least charge $500. That'll pay for most of a stomach pump job at a clinic.🤒

I had to share this! Slotless racing dudes!!! I'm guessing late 70's. That's my little bro Tommy with the wicked Kiss shirt on.

I too loved the races at Riverside and Stafford Springs CT. I returned to a race in Stafford Raceway for the first time in almost 40 years last spring! 

It... was....awesome! 

 

BTW Tommy that racing game on the Amico looks wicked fun!

 

Total Control Racing!  My best friend growing up had TCR with the JAM car.  (and a 2600)  He did upgrade to an Intellivision eventually.

I had a few different AFX and Tyco sets.

And YES, we need a central MA or Central New England CLASSIC gaming event. 

I am very close to Stafford Springs now.   When I was young, we had Westborough Speedway near by.  It became a BJ's.  I don't know what is at that location now?

It is crazy how found I am for the old days.  I miss having great close friends, cool toys, great music and FREE time.

Yet, I am looking forward to the Amico.  I haven't wanted a new system for years.  Maybe the DS because Keith was working on the Intellivision release for it!

I still bring the DS XL on plane trips.  I like buttons better phone touch..  and the stylus works great on the DS.  Just wish I didn't need the glasses.  LOL

you know what was a cool and underrated game? Mind Strike for the ECS..i bought Mind Strike and Scooby Doo with my ECS in 1983 and played Mind Strike way more

Funny you should bring up scooby doo.  I was thinking the other day how we really need a great scooby doo game. A coop with the whole gang. And not like the movies where I feel they ruined the story.  It was always someone in a mask. Keep it true to the originals.

Other "things" that have been declared by said YouTubers...

3.  No developer is going to want to develop for it.

Whew, me wanting to dev for Amico? Never would touch the thing

Possibly, but it's not something we'll support right away. We're already pushing the limits for the number of connections and the amount of data we can push through a single bluetooth host. Perhaps a future firmware update will add support, but we'll probably be busy adding cool new accessories instead!

 

With that in mind though... a lot of tvs nowadays already support bluetooth audio. Why not pair your headphones to the tv?

Would USB headphone support be possible? (Or even a headphone jack on the console itself?)

I asked about the feasibility of a headphone jack in the other thread before it died. People were... not receptive to the idea for whatever reason.

Where did you get that comment  from. No where did they say anything not to be receptive to that idea..  Why even suggest such a thing and put it out there to the public.. I need to find RX exact post ,but I'm sure you know exactly what was said.  People are strange that's for sure.

Stop right there Pete.  You are the best Amico YT spokesperson hands down.  Your infectious enthusiasm is something these other people lack.  So stick with it!  You've got a good thing going!  Plus your episodes are way more manageable than trying to watch s 2-3 hour interview.  I don't have time for that! 😄

Great question.  That's never come up as we're always talking about family & friends together.  Not sure if that would be possible.

 

This sounds like a question for the amazing and wonderful @RxScram!

Take it away Jeff!

How is this not receptive ?   That is completely a false statement.. as you can see.

Pete, you could do the Gandalf beard.  Would you be Gandalf the Grey or Gandalf the White?
