    Depends... their partnership with Animoca and the buildup of Atari land on the SandBox is interesting. Tying in a little early stage ready player one vibe with the play / earn / spend tokens.

    We still don't know what else they have going on behind the scenes.

    You still holding on to their stocks?

     

    Saw something posted on their tokens that made it seem they were unsure of what they were doing.

    Impprtant announcement:

    With the stay at home stuff and all, I seem to have put on a few pounds, so I'm switching to taco salads for the duration. 

     

    Any updates for a release date? I'm curious how much weight I'll lose before release.

    Well if you eat based on news you will lose lots of weight.

    here's another underrated awesome game that would be cool on the Amico..don't know why they never released this 

    arcade game in the U.S because it's totally addicting but i can imagine if there was a 4 player version of this on the Amico

    where all 4 players are rolling the barrels at the pirates it would be a blast 

     

     

     

    I think something like that could be cool and fun multiplayer.

    I have Lode Runner Legacy on the Switch- if it plays on the PC like it does there, it's a pretty darn good version of the game.  It being packaged with the original levels doesn't hurt. ;)

    That's cool. The screen isn't huge on the Amico controllers but that could be used for level creation which would be helpful. Always liked games that would allow for creativity in creation. I think Penguin Land on SMS was one of the earliest create your own level games I played.

    On reddit he mentioned a "unique platformer" that he expects to show in about four or five months.  They've already announced caveman ninja, spelunker, miner 2049er, lode runner, beauty and the beast.

     

    Game difficulty is one thing but what they're talking about is difficulty learning the games and complex controls.  People complain that golden age arcade games are difficult with average play times designed to be three minutes; gameplay and controls are otherwise simple in most cases.  I know with side scrolling platform games of the late eighties early nineties, there's often a lot of content to get through and people want to complete them without too much difficulty.

    I'm more interested in the new and unique one. Ones like Joe and Mac and have been released plenty of times.

     

    Funny thing about Lode Runner is there is a pretty decent looking version "Legacy" on Steam I have on my wish list. I haven't bought it yet, but I'm mainly interested in the create a level feature to mess around with. Be neat to see something similar on Amico and seems to have decent reviews. Lode Runner Legacy

    i would leave the graphics alone but update it for co-op in some kind of way and your second point is true but i think there needs to be at least a couple 2d platformers on the system 

    Looks pretty cool. But yeah difficulty would go against the easily accessible part. I too would like to see some platformers. Check out Micro Mages or Magicat on Steam. MM goes up to 4 players. Magicat is only 1 player but it is simple fun that would be an Amico friendly game.

    @carlsson does a bang-up job tracking the stats for all us weirdos.  Times don't have to be scientific-precise, but close is good.  :)  You'd enjoy participating, I think!

     

    I usually do a write-up on the stuff I play, depending on the week and how pressed for time/stressed out at life I am. 

    Man this forum still has some cool surprises. Been here for over a decade and lurked longer and still find cool things.

    There's some pretty cool stuff!  :) Some of my favorite threads are the game time tracker/'what are you playing'/'what did you finish' ones; it's neat to me to see what other folks are playing.

     

    i also found some neat youtube channels like the 'Battle of the Ports' one that i try to check.

    I need to check out the time tracker one. It is always fun to hear about what others are playing.

    Strangest thing just happened, I plugged in the 7800 to my Lcd TV and it's fine on that tv, here's my Timex Sinclair 1000 on the same tv using the same cable

    Good.  Just my way of trying to settle the thread back down. 😎  I get carried away sometimes, as you well know.   Is what it is.   Nothing sinister ... most of the times anyway.  You'll just have to live with it. 😇

    I wouldn't want you any other way. If you weren't flipping me the bird or making fun of me I would think there was something wrong with you.

    Unfortunately due to an increase in the cost of international postage, we can no longer offer the same shipping rates to customers in Canada and Mexico. The new shipping costs are as follows.

    • Domestic : $5.99
    • International (Canada) : $19.99
    • International (Mexico) : $21.99
    • International (Everywhere Else) : $24.99

    I've updated the first post's FAQ to reflect this new pricing - thanks for understanding.

     

    Don't forget, we also offer a digital version which is currently on sale for only $1.99 until April 8th - no shipping required!

    That is a steal on the Steam version!

    This was dinner tonight.

    20200402_183022.thumb.jpg.1efa0bbaf94ad47826b71dbc5972bdc2.jpg

    Ground beef, refried beans, guac, sour cream, Mexican cheese blend, lettuce, Garden of Evil hot sauce, Cholula, enchilada sauce, more cheese.  And it weighed about four 3.5 pounds.  Yes I ate it all.

    This sauce is about 28 years old.  I couldn't eat it back then and I am afraid to eat it now that it is so old.  I used about 6 drops in two gallons of chili back in 1998 for my 21st birthday and nobody could eat it.

    You win the night and that sauce looks yummy!

    When is Amico going to get its own subforum in the "modern gaming" area?

     

    and then please move all these Amico threads to that new subforum?

     

    This Intellivision forum is for the "classic gaming" system, and it is getting cluttered with these off topic threads

     

    Also having its own subforum will help having smaller individual threads/posts instead of these having two giant unwieldy threads

    I think it's time too to move them. This is a classic gaming forum after all and Amico is a new beast. Plus all the smaller Amico threads with this one and the Q&A seems to be drowning out the retro stuff.
