Let me again repeat... this is JUST a mock-up and .jpg... but something to maybe get folks a little excited.

 

Did I mention this is only an early mock-up?

 

I like the direction this is going. A huge appeal of Intellivision MLB is that the whole field is visible at all times.

Well said,exactly!👍

Hey Tommy, I have a semi-hard question: what do you think has been your biggest mistake since you started this project?

Thanks Tommy. Looks good as is.
 

Any chance there will be some unique stadium queues depending on the home team?

Here was a very early mock-up we did about a month after we got the official license and started working on it.  I'm not saying the game is going to look like this... this is merely a quick and early mock-up we did based on the original look of the game if it were reimagined.   A lot of the proportions are incorrect and again... merely only a very early mock-up just to start getting some initial ideas.  We did 4 or 5 of these, but I thought this one was pretty cool.

Firstly, thank you! You've no idea how welcome this was today.

Now, just because I am myself...

Would you say this is an early mock-up, per chance?

Thanks again, and hope all is well!

This is the type of thing that has made this journey with Intellivision so amazing getting early looks at game design and looks at prototypes not through leaks but first hand images from the head of the company along with direct questions about our thoughts on things really makes it feel like we are part of Intellivision as we go on this journey to bring Intellivision back to the world in a new and exciting way for many of us a dream we would have never thought possible.  Thanks so much for bringing us on this ride.

Yeah ! It's incredible ! I've looked everywhere since last year ( And probably Intellivision Master as well ! ) and I have never found anything leaked ! lol 😬

It's so easy to have leaks from the others ...

Looks good Tommy, thanks again for giving us an early sneak peek. Might be too early to ask, but will the perspective be top-down for the whole game or will the screen be split for pitching/batting (similar to below):

Hmmm...don't want to speak for Tommy but I've got to think it was thinking that he and Pat would be besties. 🤔😬😂

Looks great so far... The game looks good too.  Hahaha.  

I'd say for a sneak peak you're definitely in the ball park!!  

Is it just me ?

When I am looking F1 this year, and I see "Aramco", I always read it Amico !!!😃

I think I am too deep into this dream project from Intellivision Entertainment ! lol 😆

Nice! I like the look of those scoreboards, as if they're from a real baseball stadium.

Speaking of baseball, your latest update reminded me of this meme...

Not originally working “Global Pandemic” into the production schedule.

That will be rectified whenever Amico Version 2 is developed.

Probably already written in the Wonka notebook. 

(Sorry, I know you were asking Tommy, but this is such a great question for the forum to riff on in addition to a great question for him to honestly answer.)

He try be funny u see score boards

I really hope we get to see an advanced sneak peek at the baseball gameplay the next time intellivision drops a trailer.

Shooy if that pic was only a month after the license was a sealed deal I can only imagine how it is now.  I actually dont want to see a close to or finished product.  I want some surprises.  If its better looking than my original intellivision than Im going to enjoy it. I have fun now with all my old classics cant he any worse.

A little bird told me that the new Amico Major League Baseball game might include some hidden unlock-able players.

500 Base Hits will unlock @OEB_Pete (playable only as a Montreal Expo) using this code: .... .- ...- . / .- -. / .- -- .. -.-. --- / -.. .- -.-- ..--.

To translate these codes you must copy and paste them into the Online Morse Code Translator.

OEB Pete's traits will include the following:

- Throws 106 MPH fastballs
- Yells 'BONUSODE!' 'BONUSODE!' whenever he strikes out an opponent
- Sells t-shirts for charity during the 7th inning stretch

100 Home Runs will unlock @The Atari Creep (playable only as a Boston Red Sox) using this code: -.-. .-. . . .--. / .. - / .-. . .- .-.. ..--.

Atari Creeps traits will include the following:

- Has an arm like a canon and a golden glove
- Hits for power (his bat may or may not be corked)
- Drops F-Bombs whenever he strikes out (Amico will take liberties and 'bleep out' his strong language)

5 Inside-The-Park Home Runs will unlock @Tommy Tallarico (playable only as a New York Yankee) using this code: .-- --- ..- .-.. -.. -. .----. - / - .... .- - / -... . / ... --- -- . - .... .. -. --. ..--..

What would Tommy's traits be?
