Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

4 minutes ago, Tommy Tallarico said:

 

Yeah... we're looking really great and ahead of all previous sales/pre-sale/purchase order expectations. 

If we need to slide the launch because of circumstances out of our control... yes... you're absolutely correct, we would communicate openly and precisely as we've always done about everything and normal people would get it.
 

At this point... I care nothing about what the naysayers say.  I did before... tried to respectfully give them more info.  But as we all know, they end up being mostly lost causes who just move goalposts and lying once you prove everything they said incorrect or (GOD FORBID!) have a different opinion.  So I'm pretty much done with that group.  They mean nothing to Amico's success.  Let them rip all they want.  In the end... they'll be the ones looking like the clowns.  Not us.  

 

🤡🤡🤡

 

FINALLY!  I come here daily and had to sit on my hands the last few weeks to keep from posting the 'Let It Go' video.  A lot.  

It would be cool to have a demo for Astrosmash, Missile Command & Snafoo.

Oh yeah.  Good point... there's that.

Sadly, this year the locusts are a real thing.  Biggest swarms in decades, some as big as large cities...

SON OF A....!!!

Now this is interesting...

I like the one quote:

“If I’d have to take a guess based on the “diagrams”, is it’s a purely touch-screen based controller, possibly with programmable interface and buttons, which would make sense, given that it’s a touch screen.

Now THAT could be industry-changing.”

Yes.... yes it could be.

I'm guessing that when it comes to you searching for TRON stuff on the internet... it may not be as much of a coincidence as one may think!

Surely I can't be the only one who checks every day to see if they've un-cancelled Tron 3 ...

p.s.  c'mon... the ORANGE in the emoji's!  I nailed that shit!!

Heh ... I haven't asked Albert, but I'm pretty sure that every time someone uses the orange emoji, the words "ROM YORI / KEY YORI / PRIME" flash by on the AtariAge server console.

I adore Tron. How in the world has there not been an amazing Tron game? I thought Tron 2.0 was good, but come on.  Plus that game was over 15 years ago and it took 20+ years after the movie came out for it to get here. Why can't someone make a stellar video game, about a movie, about video games.

Tommy, I put this weight on your shoulders. It is yours now. Enjoy.

Frankly, most lines at amusement parks resemble Snafu, but if we can gamify it a bit more, maybe standing in line could be more entertaining.

 

Perhaps if another line crashes into your line, they’ll have to leave the park. (Think that idea needs work, but it’s a start.) 

Yeah, waiting in line at an amusement park could be the next Desert Bus.🤣

I'm still in denial.  Far as I'm concerned, it wasn't really cancelled, they're just taking extra time to makeit the best it can be.  🙉 🙈

I haven't read anything in here since my last post, but since we were talking about Sega's announcement, here is... a thing from Sega

That would be a bit disappointing if that was the big announcement.

Best news this week. Sega isn't being sold to Microsoft.  Hope that never happens. Never thought a dreamcast 2 was happening.  Sega never made a 2 of anything lol. Mini gamegear ooh yes must have

Yeah, one of my friends and I were talking about this, and he said it's probably Dreamcast Mini. I said that I expect that more than anything else, too. We'll see. Famitsu scans should be available in a few hours. If nothing else, we'll get the update on this Game Gear Micro in just over 3 hours.

Sonic, Daytona, After Burner, Mega Drive

Can you imagine the battery life on the Game Gear Micro?  Probably 5 minutes then it dies.  Lol.
