Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

I don't really have a favorite game yet.  I've only tried a few.  What to look for, I heard Castlevania: Rondo of Blood is very good.  There are 2 hidden games on the TG-16 mini.  One is Force Gear, the other is Twin Bee.  To unlock the hidden games, you have to highlight Salamander and enter select or something.  There's a YouTube video about it.

Very cool!  Thanks for the heads up!  Gonna go plug it in now and play some video games on my day off!

I can remember one of coaches yelling at me... "Goaler, get in your cage!"   LOL

I played Center and Goalie.  So even when I was in net, I would handle the puck a lot.  

 

Being from central mass... Having a coach from Montreal had some funny moments.

 

I loved all of the intellivision sports games EXCEPT... NHL.  The game where the players should move the fasted and change direction on a dime....  Was like running on wet ice.

 

But I guess until Gretzy became a KING, no one in SOCAL had any idea about the game.

 

 

Not all true!

I was a Kings fan and a fan of Marcel Dionne and Rogie Vachon years before Gretzky got here.

Heck,I was a Gretzky fan before he came to LA!😄

Most of the super talented players the Expos had and traded because they couldn't afford them ended up going to teams that won the World Series anyway!

 

 

(too soon?)

 

 

Don't feel bad, Expos fans. As a life-long Pirates fan, I can attest that we've been doing our best to carry the mantle of develop, then deal!

Just arrived! Looking forward to checking out the TurboGrafx 16 Mini this weekend!

If not for the original TurboGrafx system, I may never have been in the video game industry. It was the shirt I was wearing 30+ years ago when Virgin Mastertronic producer Seth Mendelsohn walked in to Guitar Center and changed my life forever. 

 

ABC called it the "T-shirt that changed the video game industry". I still have that shirt and cherish it to this day.

Awesome!   Please let me know your favorites so I can make sure to check them out!

@Dorkalicious: 

Quick question for you in regards to something you've been saying in a lot of your videos.

I'm curious.

Are you married?

Do you have kids?

Not trying to be a smart ass.  Just curious to understand the personal dynamic within your own household.

Thanks.

Very cool!  Will check that out for sure! 

 

Gotta link handy?  Kinda hard to find stuff on your channel with all that stupid Amico shill stuff you spew every day.

 

 

 

You got some nerve calling my Amico stuff shill, seriously who the heck do you think you are ?  LOL  Here this playlist has a lot of Turbo mini shill stuff.  BTW Tommy I call you an Open Every Box shill  

Tommy,

Here is the video that explains how to unlock the 2 hidden games.

When a Canadian starts to work on a Baseball game it turns out to be Ice Hockey.

Not always

Reading the last couple pages made me realize we played a LOT of Intellivision Hockey back in the day.  I was terrible at NFL football (I didn't have the console, a friend did and he practiced all the time...would play against himself with 2 controllers) not good at Baseball, but passable in Hockey, so it was actually competitive.  The entertainment value of flipping people and watching them lay there on the ice never got old.  

I swore my team always laid there longer than the other team...

And YES!!  I proudly and openly consider myself an OEB Pete shill!

There ya go again bud.  Taking everything to the extreme and taking things out of context to fit your narrative.

 

You say I'm taking this personally.  No I'm not.  I'd say by your responses that you are the one taking this personally.  You declare in your videos that I "hate" you, that I don't like you, etc.  You're playing the victim and inserting all this drama into a back and forth conversation between two people who have a difference of opinion.  I'm allowed to give my opinion and have a voice just as much as you do.  But in your mind, if I disagree with something you say... then I "take it personally" and "can't take criticism".   Weak.

 

But what really says a lot about what you think you know about me, Amico, folks who like Amico, this forum, etc. is the phrase "Ban me Tommy, prove me right please!".

 

So no matter how many times you read and are personally told that I have ZERO control over who gets banned, etc. and that I WELCOME respectful folks to give their thoughts an opinions... your "go to" is that I'm going to get you banned.  Sorry bud.  Not the way it works here... yet you still continue to state that false narrative as well.  That this place is just an "echo chamber" of Amico fanboys all kissing my ass.

 

Would you prefer to discuss all of the "fear mongering" that you were guilty of in your video?  The list of complete mistruths and twisting of words is pretty deep and quite simple to deconstruct for someone interested in getting feedback.  But why should I bother when the only comeback to a difference of opinion is going to be that I can't take criticism and I take stuff personal.  Why would I waste my time? 

Moving on...

 

You state that "most" videos on youtube have critical comments.  But tell us... are they the majority?  Are they even CLOSE to being the majority?  Are those videos and comments stated by our target audience?  Of course they aren't.  But that doesn't fit your narrative does it?  The fact that the negative videos out there have more dislikes than likes and the same 4 fake accounts high fiving each other is pretty telling.  The fact that our bigger videos have over 100,000 views but typically less than 200 dislikes and around 2% negative comments doesn't fit your narrative.  So you won't bring that up.

 

I love your line that "simple examination of consumers are smarter then they have ever been".  I agree... and this is exactly why Amico scores so high in focus group testing, with smart investors, big retailers and why it is going to be such a huge success.  Trust me... our target audience won't be watching your opinion videos misrepresenting what I've said.



It's SO hilarious that the same 4 or 5 hater folks with their multiple fake accounts and who have all been banned from AA from mods (not me) because they were immature and couldn't follow simple AA forum rules... immediately jumped on the post I left you.  And you call this place an "Echo Chamber"? 

 

 

 

 

I guess you think you are a mind reader since you think you know a narative that doesnt exist

I literally made a fan trailer for your system because i was hyped

For the record i never said you hated us in video

Someone commented on a video saying tommy is gonna be pissed at you and i replied to this fellow in the comments "who cares he probably already hates us", this because in the video i wasnt blown away by j allard and you already were critical of that and i personally wasnt against you but ive heard your reputation so i expected a bad reaction and sure enough it came

Secondly the follow up video title was "tommy doesnt like our content"

Not "tommy doesnt like us"

Going off what u posted its easy to infer you didnt like our content

Thats twice u misquoted me just now

Please stop misrepresenting me to preload peoples expectations

It's interesting how you are continuing to engage with the 4 or 5 haters in the comments section of your video saying... "LOOK WHAT HE'S SAYING NOW ABOUT ME!"  You really don't think that doesn't come across as you not being able to take criticism?  You don't see any irony in any of that?  I bring it up as interesting and funny... not as an argument.  

Moving on...

To be real with you Tommy you do seem to be taking this a little personal you can go to the comment section and see other people who are fans of the Amico leaving much more nice replies to his video then you've been. They are understanding of what he's been saying in his videos. you can't claim dorkalious is a hater, and he is not in control of who comments on his videos.

Both are on the original console.  Galaga 88 is on the TG-16 mini by the way.

I think we just found a potential new slogan for an Amico t-shirt!

BAN ME, TOMMY

PROVE ME RIGHT!

Explain to me how I'm taking it personal.  Just curious.

Maybe some folks dont get the East Coast Italian vernacular.  Oh well.  It is who I am.  Not going to be a phony.  If it rubs some folks the wrong way... so be it.
