Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

If we get Masters of the Universe on Amico, the physical media could be the sword of Grayskull.  After plugging it into the console, it says "I have the power".  

If we get Star Wars on Amico, physical media could be a Jedi/Sith holocron or a lightsaber.  They would be mini replicas and plug into the console and light up.  That would be so cool.  Also, the physical media could be space ships too.  How about the death star?

Speaking of Germany, as an alphorn hobbyist, I keep hoping for some sort of alphorn simulator game.

 

I don't know.  Seems like this game would kind of blow.

I know it's not Amico related, but Alex Trebek died today at 80.  Rest in peace.  😭

This game looks interesting.  It would be cool to have it on Amico.

Nothing planned yet, but something like that would make a lot of sense! 

 

 

Towerfall is super fun in couch co-op. Whenever I fire it up, even non gamers have fun because it has simple, intuitive controls. A game like this would be great on Amico. I could even see Tron deadly Discs playing like this with the Tron aesthetic and the discs used instead of the arrows from Towerfall. Or, a mascot style version like Smash Brothers but with the simple gameplay from Towerfall. You should definitely check it out Tommy!

Hopefully TMNT comes to Amico, then we can have a turtle shell for the physical media.  Or the van that the turtles drove in.

Also, the Technodrome would be cool too.

I think we have another 5 or 6 open positions that we are currently looking to fill.  And another 5 - 7 by the end of the year.

 

Mostly in California & Utah... but a few in Germany.

Are any of these positions for a game tester?  If so, sign me up Tommy.  Germany is too far for me.  CA & Utah are much closer.

This also reminds me of the Grape Escape board game that used Play-Doh as the character pieces.  That would be great.  It's similar to Mouse Trap, but you grind up your Play-Doh pieces instead of catching a mouse when you trigger the trap.

We need this game as well!!!

 

 

A Reimagined Three Stooges Game, Now We Are Talking!!

Although, I don't think parents would like their kids engaging in a game that teaches them to poke each others eyes out, hit each other over the head with hammers, slap each others faces, bonk each other on the nose, pull electrical wires through walls, throw pies around the house, lol you get the idea.

The Stooges have their place in history. Would be fun to play a newer updated version but unfortunately I don't see it happening.

Let's bring THIS game to Amico:

You use your phone's touchscreen, gyroscope, and accelerometer to pull off skateboard tricks. But what if you could use the Amico controller, too?

I'm seeing that this studio has made partners with PlayStation Talents, but if you could get past that, I think we have a really good fit for this upcoming system.

(And perhaps I may have pledged for a game key on their Kickstarter.  )

Imagine having an Aerosmith Amico with Steve Tyler's signature on it.  That would be awesome.  Maybe this can happen as a special limited edition.

This could be a fun game on Amico.

Good God.. growing up in the 80s was so much more fun...

Just gotta know how to block Moe's quick double eye poker, with a knife hand on the nose!!

Tommy,

 

When the original Intellivision games come to Amico.  Maybe for a physical media option they can be on a mini Intellivision controller that resembles the original controller.  It would plug into the Amico.  And, there would be a list of games that appears on the TV screen.  Wouldn't that be something?  

Why a mini and why a plug?  Maybe 2 original like controllers that are BT and rechargeable.

Now, that would be something (but wont happen because the likely limited market); but still cool to think about.

I meant it as a USB that looks like a controller.  It would insert into the USB port on the Amico.  I said mini because it has to be able to fit in the port.  I should have explained it better in my original post.  Sorry for the confusion. 

Curious... for when my Amico FE arrives... when I play the game against my friends... and I win.. is it OK to say...

"My Karma Engine BITCHES!"

Just curious is all.

I seen it happen before but I managed to catch it this time - somebody tried bot bombing Pete's Countdown to the Intellivision Amico video. Fortunately just a little while later YouTube bitch slapped them out of existence. Just show the level of the 'quality individuals' who are trying to make a handful of people look like many.

It was probably evil Pete, lol.  But seriously it's just someone being mean as usual.  Those darn bots.

This has been going on for quite a while & Snestatic Pete gets bombed too. Basically all the things they accuse people who like Amico of doing (blocking free discussion, generating fake views, etc) as EXACTLY what they are doing instead. There are several people who like the Amico on Reddit who's every comment gets down voted too. Basically these people are bullies who think they can sink channels and silence people by lying & cheating because they anonymous on the Internet - 3rd grade playground douche bags who never grew up.

FYI Roblox announcement tomorrow but NOT Amico related per Tommy

Intellivision is looking for a full time in-house video guru so if you know anyone in Cali with the right qualifications let them know:
