Hmmm. Is Cmart and Tommy actually the same person?  Inquiring minds want to know. 

Tommy,

What about this?

Wouldn't that be something?

Maybe get the Beastie Boys name attached to a wiffle ball Amico game?

Hi Tommy!

With the postponement of the Olympic games in Tokyo to 2021, this becomes interesting for Amico if you want to revive Konami's Track & Field game.

If you managed to get the rights for Frogger, it might be possible to do something interesting with this game.
Especially with all the possibilities available to you with the Amico controller.

Swimming with 4 different styles (Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly) which could be 4 different ways of using the controller, etc.

Make the 100 meters with 6 or 8 players !! (If enough space on the screen ?)

And many other super interesting disciplines !

Is that something that could end up on your list ?

 

 

Thank you.

Fun games to play with friends and family. Also known as "joystick-killers". 😄

Question for Tommy. And excuse me if this has already been answered, I can’t keep up with these hundreds of pages in this thread. 
 

Amico Strategy and RTS games.  
 

Games similar to:

Command and Conquer and Sim City, or Pikmin. 
 

Any in the works?

How about 4 player Atari Rampart!?

Tommy,

Is it possible we might get SwordQuest: Airworld for Amico or something close to it? This game was planned but never released.

Mine was the one in 16 Acres on Wilbraham Rd.  Right next to H.O.T., Dairy Mart, Cumberland Farms, Parker Drugs, Big Y and Papa Gino's! 

 

 

OMG!!! I was in that area ALOT back in the day with David Shaw,remember him? Hung over his place listening to Ozzy and Zeppelin and playing tons of 2600 games. Played alot of Donkey Kong arcade in a pizza place in that intersection near the old H.O.T. building. I had no idea that area was your neighborhood.

Of course I would argue the Amico is totally retro - but not in the games on it; but in how they are developed, the philosophy behind them, how it is sold and how customers are treated. All of that stuff is totally retro and way better than what we have today.

In Ideology  sure but products modern. 

It's like Frogger but with chickens.

This was my immediate connection on hearing that interview as well. It's certainly not what I was hoping for the final pack-in game (Had fingers crossed for Cloudy Mountain myself)-- but this does look like good family fun and will show off some parts of the system and controller that the other pack-ins won't. 

I must have missed that part. Didnt hear them discuss the 6th game. Do you know roughly where they mentioned it in the interview

I didn't catch it either.

Would we really need Freeway if we already have Frogger?

I do.  Lol.

Do you need that if we have AD&D Cloudy Mountain?

Or if we get White Water or River Raid? Just curious how much game overlap is needed. 👍

No, but it's cool to have options.  As for the overlap, I don't know.  We'll have to wait and see what games come to the Amico.

They discuss it at about 57:30.
