Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

I know the focus has been on 2d/2.5d type gaming. Can the Amico do a 3D driving type game?  No I'm not talking Gran Turismo.  But a Mario Kart type game.  Or any one of a number of arcade type racers. San Francisco Rush. Sega Rally. I could see STUN RUNNER as well. Would it be possible down the road?

  

PS-I would love to see an Amico-fied version of LTWOM.

I think Amico Nitro Derby is 3D.  But for first person or third person perspective racing they have the Atari Night Driver license.

Tommy,

If/when you get the Star Wars license, maybe there could be a game about baby Yoda (the child).  Either as a edutainment or an adventure game.  I know I mentioned about having "The Mandalorian" based on the Disney Plus show being turned into a possible Amico game.  Having a spin off where it's all about baby Yoda would be cute and fun for kids.  

It would be neat to have a game on Amico about Play-Doh.  That rhymes, lol.  A game world with characters made out of Play-Doh.  In the game you can design how a level/world looks.  Each level/world has a small town/village in it.  There's a battle system where you fight against enemies trying to attack your town/village.  Using Play-Doh you can create different vehicles and weapons to defend your turf.  The game wouldn't have violence, it would have a cartoonish look and feel to make it kid friendly.  In fact, the game could just involve building things out of Play-Doh & nothing more.  But I thought putting in a battle scenario could keep things interesting.  Furthermore, there can be different modes.  A battle mode could be separate and the story mode can be about building the worlds and just having fun.

This is great news.  Looks like I'm going to Germany.  Packing my bags as we speak, lol.  Nice knowing you guys.  I'll be sure to send a post card.  

Since I am stalking, er, I mean *following* Hans (and soon @IntellivisionMaster, you are going to have to change your handle to IntellivisionMeister after the move) here is what he is up to next week:

Haha.  It does have a nice ring to it.  👍

Intellivision Amico is a diamond sponsor of the Franken Game Jam (Germany) which is (virtually) going on now:

Coming soon to Amico, "Intellivision Master The Game".  It could be a game show and I'm the host, lol.  All the questions are about Intellivision.  The goal is to beat Intellivision Master at his own game.  Do you have what it takes to win?

There are 10 questions.  And a bonus round which has only 1 question.  You must get the bonus question right to win the game.  By the way the questions change every time you start a new game.  That makes it more challenging.  Each question has a 10 second timer.  You can only get 3 wrong answers.  Anymore and it's game over.  

Yo Tommy, any possiblity a 8 player brawler like this will be coming to the Amico?  Maybe have a allstars group of characters.  Frogger, running man, qbert, dig dug, EWJ, global gladiators, joust, and whatever else that could be added.

Here's the game trailer:
 

 

 

This game looks interesting.  What is the premise of it?  Since you love it I know it can’t involve hunting, so is it a photo safari of some sort?

That's exactly what it is: a photo safari game.

In the trailer, the cheetah is hunting a gazelle.

PSA no Evercast or Amico All Access this weekend because Pete is doing a marathon live stream for children’s charities.

This could work on Amico.  It's a nice cute'em up. 

Hopefully the UI video comes out this week.  Maybe tomorrow?  Who knows.  But if not soon, then in the year 2525.  Lol.
