It's not about the money - they need to learn they can't just spout bullshit about people. They're trying to damage Tommy's reputation. I really don't get it. At least it would teach them a lesson and shut them up. I don't know Tommy but he was nice enough to even chat to me on my channel. Now, I'm not a YouTuber. I hardly ever upload stuff, I really just wanted to ask a few questions and let anyone who was interested also get those answers. He's super open, friendly and genuinely a good dude from what I can tell. I don't imagine Phil Spencer or Garth from Wayne's World at Sony would give me that time. Those two Muppets Pat and Ian just come across as petty little assholes. I have no idea why they're trying to take Tommy down other than to try and claw back some of the views they got during the Coleco Chameleon thing. I should also add I was super doubtful about the Amico originally, despite being a fan of Tommy's work. But as more info came out I changed my mind and pre-ordered a founder's edition.

Hey Tommy, you really ought to consider doing Pat and Ian for defamation.

They did the soundtrack for the Rombo movies, right?

Haha, I just finished watching that too. I even commented. I now feel dirty...

Hey Tommy, I didn’t receive any email either and it’s not in my spam - is there a way to see this new game footage? I really want to check it out. As for the golden tickets... how were they procured? Would I have been assigned one when I pre-ordered the founders edition? Sorry for the dumb questions, been away from the forum for a bit. Lol. Chur! EDIT: Never mind, I have since discovered you get them when you buy merch, haha. Still wanna see this new gameplay video though! Can’t find anything online...

I didn’t get an email... how do I register this ticket and where do I get one? 😛

I know this thread is now legally old enough to have sex in my country, but I wanted to add NHL Rock the Rink to the list. It looks and plays great even in the future of 2020!

Thanks for your reply re: release date etc Tommy! I can't wait for this thing to take off and watch all the naysayers backtrack. LOL.

Hey Tommy, sorry if this has been asked, but the thread is now massive so - has the virus altered the release date? I ordered the founders' edition for the man cave but pretty certain I'll pick up a black one for the lounge too I haven't been this excited about a console launch since the original Xbox. It's always fun to have a "new player"! Not that you guys are new but you know what I mean

That's sexy but I already ordered the Founder's Edition. I needed the woodgrain... just because.

Getting better and better. Missile Command looks rad.

He seems pretty depressed if you ask me. Might explain a few things. I may be wrong but I've dealt with it a lot myself and I'm pretty good at spotting the signs.

Holy crap that trailer was awesome. I literally had goosebumps watching it. I NEED SKIING IN MY LIFE NOW!

What exactly have you been doing to that controller!?!? Whatever it is, stop before there’s a big mess!

Could be a regional thing? I dunno. EDIT: It seems none of the tags are working in search. Nice one, YouTube.

I thought I did tag it with Intellivision and Amico... will check... EDIT: Yup, I did. I added Atari though Thanks again, it was heaps of fun!

Here's my "interview" with Tommy. It's not really an interview. It's just two guys talking shit.

I think this is the best idea in the history of ideas. Instead of randomly getting killed by an ogre when you take a wrong turn you could run into the other players. No one would know where each other is but they'd have their own map on the controller screen so there's no need to draw as you go. That could be incredibly entertaining. You could all be racing to "rescue the princess" or whatever and it'd be up to you to choose whether to fight or not when you encounter another player - you wouldn't know what gear the other player had so it could be risky engaging in combat. And after writing all that I just realised you'd have to play it on your controller screen or everyone would know where each other is on the telly with split screen. lol. Oh well...

I know, it's so annoying and then they have the nerve to ask you to leave the money on the dresser on the way out...

PSA: I'm starting a YouTube series called "A Fat Guy Talks to People" and in the first episode I talk to none other than @Tommy Tallarico! We discuss Tommy's background and of course, the Amico, clearing up a few things such as controller misconceptions etc. Don't expect a professional podcast based on prior research. As it says in the title, I'm fat. I'm fat because I'm lazy. Also, I just like to talk crap with people rather than "interview" them so there are stories from both of us. Anyway, the first ep is rendering now. I really need to look into how to speed this up as it's saying it's gonna take 17 hours! All going well, I'll upload tomorrow and link here. Massive thanks to Tommy for taking the time to talk to a YouTube nobody from New Zealand. It was loads of fun and he's a bloody great guy. I'm honoured and humbled to have such an epic "guinea pig" for my first ep! Not sure how I'll back this up with following eps... lol

Damn, I had no idea. I'd even be happy to drive to Welly for it. I'm off to pick up a bunch of PVMs from a mate down there next weekend

Dude, if you don't do a show in New Zealand we can't be friends anymore

That'll learn me for reading too quickly. In that case, in no particular order: Force 2 Dreamcast Jaguar Xbox Turbografx 16 EDIT: Replace Turbofgrafx 16 with SuperGrafx and an honourable mention: FM Towns Marty - hahaha.

Mine are: 1. Master System 2. Mega Drive 3. PS2 4. PS1 5. N64 ... I think.

I'm 43. I'd stay at an Atari hotel. Not because of any nostalgia - I never had an Atari as a kid - but because I'm into anything game related. I think they fail to see this. I mean how many folk wear Atari t-shirts and caps? And not one of them is "old". These two fail to realise that not everyone is like them. Sadly a lot of these YouTube "celebrities" seem to think the world revolves around them.
