    Didn’t P&I say Tommy would be lucky to sell 5,000 units way back in their initial video?...!!!  Guess they were wrong.  Ordered a wood grain and Tron...I mean graphite black units.  
     

    I’ve spent over a month reading this thread from the beginning.  Just wanted to say that I am a PC gamer at heart, but we do have a Wii ( for the family) and PS3 (for me to play PS games that aren't on the PC..love me some Uncharted!!).  The Wii was the only system I have been able to get my wife to play.  She kicked everyone’s ass in bowling!  I’m hoping the Amico will get her to play again, as the Wii hasn’t been turned on in years. My kids are in their twenties and no longer live at home, and like I said I’m a PC gamer.
     

    I also want to comment on Tommy’s accessibility he has shown to the people in this thread.  I did not even know who he was until I read this thread.  I’m impressed by his body of work on all systems, VGL, and as a musician/composer in general.  His willingness to answer people’s question (and pretty much all of them as they come up) is unheard of for a CEO of a company. I love reading his comments and how raw they can be sometimes!  This accessibility also goes for the other employees of Intellivision that take the time to comment.

     

     

    Is that the new total?

    Know sold was 2600 FE... and last I saw 1000 VIP had sold in 30 minutes.  

    Had not seen new totals since then.

    Is the 5000 VIP or a mix of FE and VIP?

    Oh Hell... I just awoke from a HIGH stooper as my "Old Lady" hit me over the head and threw me down in the bunker!

    With only a minute to spare... wanted to say welcome aboard all you VIP buyers!

    My old lady stole my wallet so I will not be buying another Amico for now.. No Bread or Dough as we Hippies call it....

    But I will save to get me a Purple one when the time comes.  

    Since I have been abducted by so many aliens... I seem to have a fetish now for purple...

    Maybe because of all the abductions from the Purple People Eaters!

    Be Well You All!

    I wonder if tommy remakes the song they call it puppy love with. ... they call it puffy love ( you are the amico I've  been  dreaming of)  Lol

     

    Puffy is not the mascot were were asking for,  but hes the mascot we need, a d deserve....not all heroes are plumbers. :)

    Suddenly we know roughly your age now with that Pupply Love mention.

    and you know mine as I mention you mentioned it!

    a time when real family shows took place instead of this BS Batchelor excrement.

    Cheers everyone here in the @Tommy Tallarico thread.

    If you don't drink beer or any booze, then raise a glass of water then.  ;-)

    Hope everyone here stays safe and sane... (yeh like fireworks here in California.. miss the days of real fireworks) and we can all mosey around again like John Wayne out in the world.

    Cheers!

    What if puffy got voiced . Limited of course not full on cinematic  stuff.  What if  tommy got peewee herman  as puffy.   What if puffy lives in the fishbowl in the playhouse  and his adventure comes to life. 

    hey hey... idea time...

    Let us all do a Voiceover for Puffy and post it on YouTube and let @Tommy Tallarico see all the great ways this can be done.

    ;-)

    The reason I use my real name in here is because Tommy said people hide on the internet and if they were more open (like on Facebook) they'd not be able to hide in the shadows and would have to act pleasant and not be so volatile. 

     

    I write the way I talk so you all know I like to chat a lot and have some of the silliest jokes ever.

     

    Sometimes my girlfriend turns up the radio in the car to signal it time for me to sit back and shut up.

     

    😂

    ha.... yeh I know about hearing issues.

    I used to tell everyone, as I am always the driver in this house, that my right ear is deaf from driving daily with my wife commuting 150 miles a day back in the 1990s.  

    haha

    I met them both at Too Many Games a few years back.  Both were super nice and Ian even took a picture with me.

    Many times meeting folks face to face is a more pleasant experience.. as they are not hiding behind a keyboard.

    Not sure if hiding behind a keyboard makes some more bold and shows more their real personalities or it is an act to drum up an audience.

    I love the internet but much prefer meeting folks face to face 1st... then as time goes on maybe their behind the keyboard approach towards someone will be a tad more personable. 

    Maybe one day this will all iron out and Pat & Ian will meet some of you all here along with Tommy and have a discussion offline and smooth things over.

    Yeah I am an optimist... just the way I roll.

    And forget selling any of my psp collection to OEB Pete...

     

    Did you know OEB means "open every box"?????

     

    What would happen to all my precious sealed copies of psp games.  I mean most are from Japan and I can't read them to play them but I was going to get around to learning Japanese eventually....

     

    Lol

     

    😂

    And all this time I thought it meant "only eats burritos". 

    Damn.

    🤪

    If there's a sixth game reveal, I won't be available to share the video since it's already late here.

    The 6th game could be anything, but the reason why I said Night Stalker might not be the best choice for a pack-in game is that it's more geared towards hardcore gamers who would probably pay for it (even though I think I would have paid for Skiing as well).

    Maybe like a Steve Jobs "One More Thing" and we will get 1 more.  ;-)

    Woot Canada!

    btw, when I call you my favorite Canadian... take that VERY highly.

    My 1st experience with Internet Fraud was by a person in Canada.  Luckily I did not lose out on my Powerbook that I was selling but did lose out on software and stuff.  Was my 1st time and that happened in the 1990s... and hopefully I smartened up and was the last time.

    So for a bit I always said I did not like Canadians.  hahahaha

    But yeh... you are alright with me brother!
