    What about say 8 games ...I remember the original plan was 7 then dropped to 5.  But 8 games and console supports up to 8 players :)  it keeps all numbers matching .  10/10/2020 that's 3 20s while 8.players and 8 games is 2 8s  :)

     

     

    Crazy 8s.... ;-)

    I say 7... 7 is a lucky number after all.

    You see it as jackpot machines all the time... 

    Lucky 7s

    I am a tad superstitious as you can tell.

    I also can see into the future sometimes.  hahaha

    Spent some time with him as well.

     

    :)

     

    Met him in London.  He liked my music.

    Missing a Boy George shot.  I'll need to eventually get me one of those.   :D

     

     

    Wow... uber cool.

    Now show me a picture of you in a Shaolin uniform studying the art deep in the mountains of China and wow, even more respect.

    I always had a thing for Shaolin.  I am too soft for it now but in my younger years I enjoyed learning a tad in my teens.

    I dare any Animal Activist to come after a 13 year vegan about a name.  :)

     

    We had "Cloud" and "Pearl" on the list... but some folks may associate Cloud with "the cloud"... as in Google Stadia. 

    Pearl is more "pearlescent" which we are still considering and see what it looks like with a Matte finish.  So might still be on the table later down the road (depending on what it looks like).  Then again... pearls are "unvegan" as well.... so we'll always be pissing off someone at some point.  :D

     

    I had Coconut White on the top of my list at one point.  Thought it was kinda fun.  :)

     

     

     

    Tip.... don't use Cocaine White.  Family friendly and all.

     

    Of course the Cocaine White edition may "BLOW" away all sales expectations!

    There is a slot car game on the 3DS. It's fun enough, but since it's tied to Streetpass, you need to use that to actually have opponents to race against.

    ah cool.  yeh don't own one of those...

    idea still could be sound and fun with the right boobie traps and stuff.

    and with proper speed around corners one can learn to jump tracks and such.  Add some fun old school dynamics to the game.

    Of course going too fast can also mean you fly off the track and damage your car.

    Then use the Amico Controllers to reach a virtual hand to grab the car and try to get it back onto the track so you can get back in the race. 

    Just like we did as kids. ;-)

    Add some voice commands you can say into the controller to do certain tricks.

    How about some positive and happy news for the world right now!

     

    Intellivision is happy to announce that next Tuesday, March 17th we will be releasing a brand new 3 minute gameplay trailer highlighting 22 games!

     

    Almost half of which have never before been seen or talked about. Oh look! Here's one now!  1f642.png

    Looks great!

    btw.. looking at this picture made me think... how about a Slot Car game. 

    No idea if I have ever seen a Slot Car video game before.

    I mean who here did not have slot cars as a kid.

    So similar idea as above but there are slots each car is on and you play against other players.  You can switch slots too... 

    Nice feature is you can lay down boobie traps on your slots so other cars may run into them affecting them somehow.. maybe slower speeds... blown out tires, etc....

    Little Demolition in the mix so you can screw up other players cars so you can be the winner in the end.

    Even if you are not a fan of Apple, there is no denying, as a company, they have achieved great things some of us now take for granted.

     

    I remember this commercial when it 1st came out... and I still enjoy it today.

     

    Wondering if one day we will see some ads like this from Intellivision?

     

    Come to think about it... and maybe I don't watch the right stations... but does Sony and Nintendo and even Xbox have prime time commercials these days?  I don't recall ever seeing any.

     

    Not saying for Intellivision to do TV commercials but... well placed ads and videos can go a long way.

     

    I look forward to seeing what @Tommy Tallarico and the Intellivision crew come up with in the coming months and years.

    E3 is cancelled. I am interested to see what everyone, not just Intellivision, will do instead. Except for companies that I'm not interested in.

    Being an Apple guy and enjoying the fun at past Macworld Expos... then Apple left and the show petered out.... and gone as the dodo... Apple found they could put on their own events and still have large excitement.  Every Apple store has small mini events too.

     

    I bet @Tommy Tallarico and Intellivision could put on some event, online of course, to show off Amico.  Hopefully they are still able to build up excitement and still hit the 10/10/2020 date as much is riding on it.. even if it is a tad softer date now with all the craziness happening in the world.

     

    Hoping for the best!

    Wow!!  Jim Peterick from Survivor too!  Love the EYE OF THE TIGER guitar!  Me want!!!
     

     

    @Tommy TallaricoDid you listen to this tune.. I found it very wicked cool!  I felt like I stepped back in time to when Styx was still the original lineup.  Too bad Dennis and Styx can't make up... one last fling... as it would go down as an awesome final bow to the fans.  tj

    ps.. if you did... you will find later tonight and tomorrow you will need to listen several more times.. it is that good.  ;-)

    I saw Dennis DeYoung twice and Styx once in their current lineups and enjoyed both but Dennis DeYoung played much smaller venues in my area and it was just amazing. 

    yeh, the crew around Dennis's band is awesome!  August is a fabulous guitar player and also sings great too so he and Dennis make the band super.  I am a Tommy Shaw fan too but if I had to choose one lineup... I would go with Dennis.  I am amazed how good his voice has held up.  Super!  

    This is not his new song that dropped Sunday but one he did in 2019 and I feel is a stellar song, very Styx here and if his album is anything like this, watch out!

    2 of my favorite bands from that era!  Don't forget Van Halen & Styx!

     

    :)

     

     

    yeh also a fan of both Van Halen and Styx.  I hope to see the current lineup of Styx and the separate Dennis DeYoung performing Styx one day.

    btw, Dennis's new album just hit on Sunday.  His new tune is out.  Nice to have a new album out and he is in his 70s.  His voice has not changed a lick.  One of those you know it is him voices like Steve Perry.

    Yeah!!  LOVE this conversation!!!!!!!

     

    Everyone... join in!!!!!!!!

     

    I was raised in my fun years in Livermore California... home of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.  Jokes about our pee being green and stuff was the norm.  haha. 

     

    We had a place in town within walking distance of Livermore High School where I went and at lunch, along with getting Chili Cheese Dogs at Der Wienerschnitzel, we would go to VR... Video Ranch... Was our small town video game place....

     

    Was also one of our main hangouts Friday and Saturday nights as cruising the strip in those days was the norm.  Anyone else here do weekend cruises down town, whistling at the pretty girls?  I and my 1972 Datsun 240Z (miss that car and was my 1st) sure did... btw my mascot in the passenger seat was a large ET Doll.  The girls loved it.  haha

     

    Anyway, I remember my favorite games and one just happens to be Moon Patrol.. One reason the Amico has snatched my heart recently.

     

    Along with Moon Patrol I loved Dig Dug... probably my favorite game of all, and Sinistar!  That game was spooky as [email protected]#$%^.  It damn spoke evil.  haha.

     

    Anyway, love and miss those years but for me... 2020 will bring that all back with Intellivision and Amico.  I am SOOOO ready!

    It's been said before, but bears a repeat:

     

    Tommy, THANK YOU for continuing to hang out here and chat even with folks baiting you or openly misrepresenting your words and actions. 

     

    The waiting till 10/10/2020 is excruciating, but it is sooooooo much better with you than without you. 

    yeh the waiting can drive one crazy... it is for me... and was the subject of my last YouTube video.  hahaha

    It is how I deal with the waiting.

    Tommy,

     

    You really should train your guys to be psychic. I'm disappointed in you, man.

    Just a note as I am a Director of Customer Service for a company.. been in the Customer Service biz since 1980s... and in this day and age with Social Media being an outlet for customers posting issues they have with such and such devices... myself and my partner in crime for our company's customer service peruse the internet all day long, mostly Social Media sites, to find posts that may be regarding our product.  If we do, before the customer even reaches out to us for support, let them know how to reach us so we can get them back to 100%. 

     

    This blows their and many folks minds... that we reached out to them before they even did to us.  Shows we care.  Shows we are one step beyond what many offer in customer service.  

     

    It is as close as one can get to being a psychic in customer service field and works well for us.  One reason why our company gets so many kudos for our customer service.

    Yes. Maybe not all of them, but a few.

    Also some of us are really crazy, looking the Internet all day for something that talks about Amico ! 🙄

     

    P.S.   TJ, don't tell my girlfriend what I do all day, and I won't tell yours that you do absolutely nothing at home ! 😅   lol  😋

    @LePionnier deal! 😋

    I do the act of spitting in my hand and reaching it out to ya.  haha

    It the pack-in for this by any chance 'Call of Doody'?

    I'll just see myself out now.

    Seriously though... wow. I mean I keep Angry Birds on my phone just in case for extended WC stays; but this level of bathroom gaming is more then a little disturbing.

    Never... ever..... I am Old School !! 

    Damn these Young Whipersnappers!

    I only take my Newspaper or Magazines for Throne Work!
