Amico Fun Conversations |OT| What the heck’s an Intellivision Amico? Console’s leaky dev portal offers hints

It's crazy how well his house and the playhouse blend together. There is a few times i thought i was looking at the show.
Welp. Though I guess it shouldn't be a surprise after Tommy's follows/likes and everything surrounding so many of the Amico fans.
Ugh. I was hoping that guy was secretly cool, despite working for Tommy and being involved with the Amico. I guess I was wrong.
But he has an ostentatious mustache!
Serious yikes at those follows. He doesn't even have the "I follow three leftists" argument that Tommy was trying. There's Seth Abramson, I guess, but 1) He's an unreliable nut, and 2) It's probably just because Seth has expressed a bunch of weird, uninformed interest in the Amico.
Anyone who follows Andrew Sullivan and Scott Adams on purpose is super sus.

I was gonna throw some shade your way at first cause it was all collectable statues and shit..... But then they showed his Egyptian shit and a tiger rug and I was like "Slays right"
I grew up watching Peewee's playhouse and I was trying to think did they have an Egypt room. insanity
Besides the sphinx on top of peewees play house I think there is a fancy tut-like sarcophagus somewhere in the play house. Could be wrong though, but yes at that point in the video I too was taken aback.
I think because the fans and "haters" so far seem to skew 30+
If this were any sort of real thing, they would shut the fuck up, get off the internet, and get their product out the door.
then again I said that about Paprium

I think the rot at Intellivision is probably all the way through. Anyone who's been working there for a long time has been vetted and approved by Tallarico and has worked alongside him and his other chosen employees for years. Anyone who was secretly cool probably left somewhere along the way after realising they'd made a mistake.
I'm not watching a whole lot of Amico stuff on YouTube so I'm kind of guessing here, but maybe that could be because the console got publicised by a relatively right-wing set of people, resulting in discussion about it in general - critical and favourable - having a right-wing lean.
They duped the Bavarian government to give more than half of their entire video game media fond budget of that year to Tallarico and his ex German gaming press buddy so that they develop bad Pong clones in Germany for their badly thought out retro console. They'll be fine.
It did, though not in significant quantities. I ended up selling mine without opening it, but you can find others on eBay. We'll see what comes out of Fonzie's current Kickstarter.
Blaze has announced that the Evercade VS should be released on January 31st in the US. So, that's basically another two months out, with the systems already completed and ready to go.
No way they're getting a proper run of Amicos into people's hands anytime soon.

Tommy most likely isn't going to lose anything no matter how sideways this goes. Between that government grant, millions of investor dollars through THREE different crowd funding services (Fig, Republic, and Fundable), not to mention pre-orders, he's burning through everyone else's money but his own.
Amico forum removed on Atari Age
Lots of them will be available on Archive.org, but it'll be a bit of a pain to find them since you can't simply search through his posts for specific keywords now. You'll have to browse all the thread pages that have been archived manually.
Any chance we can rename this thread to Fun Amico conversations? Who do I talk to? I'm serious.
PM the op, if they've left the thread report the OP and ask a mod to adjust.
Tommy's given his side of the story in the Facebook group.
They were "planning on shutting it down" because of "bad hombres and phony concern trollers". 🤔
I wonder where I've heard "bad hombres" recently..

lol Jesus, Tommy has to make out that every single thing that goes wrong is either not actually something that went wrong at all, or that he somehow did it on purpose. His ego is so big yet fragile.
he went on to edit out "bad hombres" from that post. which... I mean, what better way to draw attention to a weird phrase than to quietly try and remove it?
I'm sorry 😭 I was just thinking how hilarious it would be to have that title in honor of the atariage shutdowns.
This seems very common — people want to treat him like Melania, giving him the benefit of the doubt because he's cute. Nope, he's fully complicit. His name is on the ridiculous patent application, the document where they say some Amico consoles will have smell modules, and the Karma Engine (mistakenly identified as "patented" in their marketing material) contains online profiles for a handicapping system.
Tommy: "They love my charisma!"
I don't see much evidence for this. But people seem to want to draw politics into it.
Tommy and his friends get a paycheck whether this sinks or floats. They seem to be riding it so long as the money holds out.
Are you sure? The edits I've seen didn't touch "bad hombres" but changed around several other things. Tommy is pretty tone deaf for supposedly being such a great musician.
Amico Games For You
@tommytallarico edited his blurb about his recent disgrace at AtariAge. Is it all over, or will the investors demand a piece of him?
amicogames.com
Hard to top "Boomers" for irony, especially considering the spokesguy and his fanbase
Wait, smell modules?
Edit - wtf

Yup, Amico is far stranger than fiction. You can tell Intellivision will never implement this, because they didn't attempt to trademark InSmelliVision.
In fact, the domain names insmelli.vision and insmellivision.com are both available to purchase. Maybe they should redirect to this discussion.
I tip my very large foam hat to whoever already grabbed https://tommytallarico.com and https://amicoage.com

The Amico might have a chance of succeeding if they spent more time and research making it have some, any standout features. Maybe with normal controllers, a bigger cut for developers to attract them to the platform and actual curated games instead of the failed shit from Windows Phone or baggage of old shitty Intellivision games and the name.
It also would need to be run not by an inept loser egomaniac like Tommy and exist in a world without Nintendo.
