Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

What if in the new Night Stalker, there's a water level?  You have to swim through the maze and the robots have a shield bubble around them that protects them from getting wet.  But you're still able to shoot through the shield and they blow up.  Wouldn't that be something?

I have a better idea... What if we remove water levels on every single non-water game? 👍🖖

things you didnt know you wanted until you saw it. My favorite Spiderman character gets his due

How about a Mighty Hero's game?

When I was 10...  I used to think of Bi-Planes in Triple action like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dastardly_and_Muttley_in_Their_Flying_Machines

That could be a fun 4 player co-op.  Oh.. 5th player is the pigeon.  OR, 1 player mode could by a pilot or the pigeon.

Do kids these days know this stuff?  My 2 youngest Nieces certainly don't.  They like LOL's ( why? ) and Unicorns.

For the record.. Wacky Races would be amazing!

Make one say "Wouldn't that be something"

I don't think so. 

 

That would also be a little tough for me considering I'm a big supporter of animal rights.

I understand that games like Duck Hunt are all in good fun.  So there may be something out there that could fit.  Just nothing on the plate right now.

 

Shooting extremely huge spiders in Night Stalker or rats/snakes in Cloudy Mountain is one thing... it's "fantasy". 

 

Hunting for ducks or deer is something different (for me anyway).  I understand my views on this subject are not the norm.  It's just a personal thing for me.  A "hunting" game would be tough for me.

 

 

 

There’s the photography game concept. Points for speed, framing, focus, style. So, animals could be one of many things and different locations. 

Hopefully Cloudy Mountain has magical items to use.  Maybe there's one that allows you to teleport out of harm's way.  Perfect for when you're surrounded by enemies and have no arrows or weapons.

Lets do it at my house!  I'm about an hour or so south of you guys!

 

 

I’m in and my wife has offered up to bring a veggie dish, and Moon Patrol lessons. 😆

I would buy a t-shirt that had that saying on it!  What a perfect slogan for the Amico!

I would buy that hat !

According to Wikipedia, the Amico games list shows the Imagic game, Cosmic Ark.  Tommy said we're getting Tropical Trouble which is good.  That's considered a sequel to Beauty & Beast.  I hope we get the entire Imagic library during the Amico lifespan. If not, perhaps Tommy can put some on the Vectrex when he brings that back.  Wouldn't that be something?

I'll never be as good as @CurlyQ, but here's my alternative idea for a t-shirt (especially today!):

Tommy,

Once you get the Tron license, maybe there can be Tron merch in the IE shop.

Are you excited for Retro Reimagined Major League Baseball?

Yes... and here's a little thanks for the great stuff you make!  LOL!

A definite "Closet Classic" with a lot of dust on it...

Sorry, can't resist commenting... this Amico looks so good, and is such a great symbol of America, that I hope a similar version is made as a special premium offering somewhere down the line. Sure, let's wait until sales of the existing colors take off and bring in some $$ for further development, but then I hope something like this comes out.

If I could make a suggestion for a real version, I'd love to see the bases, foul lines, batters boxes, etc. printed on the controller bay (under the controllers). The way the controllers look now is perfect. Great job CurlyQ!

Considering the apparent demand of Reimagined Classics, wouldn't any of the games from the Mr. Do series be a really good candidate?  I just thought about that this morning.  Definitely I would think Mr. Do would be ripe for some new and/or reimagined titles.

I agree.  I asked Tommy about this.  Even if he couldn't get Mr. Do on Amico, what about Mrs. Do?  It could be an exclusive version just for Amico.  There never was a Mrs. Do game.  So this might be a good alternative. 

Not sure if this game was mentioned before.  But what about Mr. Driller for Amico?

Your message reminds me of @1001lives/@LordRayken and his love/hate relationship with the Amico debating with himself. 👉👈 Good times!

 

By the way, he has been busy this summer creating a 30 minute video which could be described as a love letter to the Virtua Boy.

I watched a few of his videos... they're actually pretty good and informative.  I liked the 1001lives dude, but debated with LordRayken a few times.

That was a strange situation.

Tommy,

 

If the Amico console has a problem or a game isn't working properly, the "OOF" sound or word should appear on screen.  Lol.

Going to be a big ROBLOX announcement coming soon.
