Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A
Tarzilla replied to Tommy Tallarico's topic in Intellivision Amico
Really? Then why did you serve me this? -
Within the last week on his Youtube channel he mentioned uploading them all to Archive.org. and he mentioned he is missing the first 4 Colecovisions podcast. @Ikrananka,I'm sure he'd love to get those first 4 from you. It should be queued up at the right point, but watch from about the 2:30 mark

Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A
Tarzilla replied to Tommy Tallarico's topic in Intellivision Amico
If you do go to Vancouver, don't let CMart talk you into visiting his collector's dungeon, he'll just bore you to death with his Spikers, Playcables, and Keyboard Components and won't share his expensive wine with you. 😉 -
Tommy has more than once stated that they are saving the marketing budget, big announcements, and promotion push for E3 2020 that starts June 9th https://www.e3expo.com/ Unfortunately that isn't good enough for a small number of self entitled people hiding behind their keyboards trying to artificially stir up negative click-bait hit pieces. I think it is a credit to Tommy that the Amico has gotten the awareness it has without spending a dime of the 11 million dollar plus marketing budget and without crowd-funding (and no, the FE is not crowd funding in any shape or form, it is a just pre-order down payment.)

Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A
Tarzilla replied to Tommy Tallarico's topic in Intellivision Amico
@Tommy Tallarico, I don't know about the rest of the world, but 3 on 3 hockey has become popular in Canada, especially as a spring league after regular league play is done. 1 goalie a side and 3 players. Sounds perfect for an 8 controller or 6 controller (with computer controlled goalies) Has this mode been considered for the Amico Hockey game? Also, are the controllers location-aware of each other (namely could you wave your controller at another player's controller to pass the puck or exchange dice?) -

It is not ding ding abuse if it is understood the ding ding kicking is due to mutual attraction... -

I think Beauty and the Beast would be a perfect game where the player can pick from different genders and mixed with a style like the box cover it would be a real unique looking game. -

Nope, Patrick, but he is Italian 😉. I think he used to leave work early to watch you and Victor. But of course, this has nothing to do with the Amico Q and A, so I will ask a question on his behalf: Will there be Tommy Tallarico bobble heads, action figures, or at least a Funko Pop figure, preferably wearing an Amico t-shirt? -

I have a friend that would be honored if you kicked him right in the ding-ding at the next Video Games Live in Edmonton or at PRGE. -

This has to be one of the most ridiculous misuses of the english language I've heard in years. That's like saying "I said he died, but I wouldn't call him dead..." -

Princess Quest is an earlier and fun "Ghost and Goblins"-type game by the very prolific nanochess (who also did programmed Sydney Hunter,) it even has boss battles. @cmart604probably has 30 copies in his dungeon if you need one -
Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A
Tarzilla replied to Tommy Tallarico's topic in Intellivision Amico
Given the cost of materials (box/manual/cart/PCB) and more importantly the time spent programming, we definitely aren't in it for the money. The $2 to $3 each would be reasonable to me, although a lot of homebrew releases are unofficial ports of games for the arcade or other consoles and would never be allowed into your store. There are some officially licenced ports from Elektronite that might need a re-licence and a few truly original games like Christmas Carol, Princess Quest, and Sydney Hunter & The Sacred Tribe. -

Tarzilla replied to Tommy Tallarico's topic in Intellivision Amico
I really like the look and feel of Night Stalker but one picky thing really bugs me. The robots are too close to the 60s Lost in Space robot, especially when you already have two distinctive robots in your inventory to draw from: The guy on the right side is a 3d model I made and 3d printed a couple years ago but why not use these two robots from the classic cover instead of the ones in the demo? And how about official action figures of them? 😉 -
More likely it will be Paul standing right there blocking your view while Cmart and his gang of miscreants steals the kiosk. 😉 It might NOT be a good idea to bring anything kiosk-like to PRGE...

Team Pixelboy News Bulletin - January 15th 2020
Tarzilla replied to Pixelboy's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
As an exercise to satisfy my curiosity, I went through all the major companies that are list on the AtariAge main site and went through the manuals looking for games that used the Asteroids style controls (rotate left/rotate right/thrust up/hyperspace down/fire or similar) as well as games that only used left or right like Space Invaders or AstroBlast By no means complete here is a rough list of 2600 games that could be compatible: If there is a dash in the game name and controls columns that means no games from that company have compatible controls schemes A couple of games have no controls listed because I couldn't conclusively tell but they bear further investigation. If a company doesn't appear then I didn't drill into it so there will be more 😉 Keeping in mind that I only spent an hour, have a look. I think we could crowd source the investigation of the 2600/8-bit/7800/ColecoVision and come up with a pretty decent master list 2600 Asteroid style controls v0.1.pdf -

It should also be noted that Zoom 909 is more elaborate than Buck Rogers Planet of Zoom. IMHO, it includes a better boss battle and a whole new level type as seen below. Mystery Man also tweaked the control scheme of the overhead view to be more controllable than the original. -
CollectorVision Members Area (2016) ROM Listing
Tarzilla replied to Ikrananka's topic in CollectorVision
Possibly, if it was added I missed the update message...I do have Mario Bros and Mr Chin, but they came with the Atari Max Ultimate SD in the CollectorVision Bonus folder https://www.atarimax.com/colecosd/documentation/ Both roms are dated 05/27/2010 -

This is what I have in a folder called "CollectorVision Members" that I believe is what you are referring to PWBC2 is Pyramid Warp & Battleship Clapton II From top of the PWBC2 txt file * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * /!\ WARNING : you are not allowed to distribute these files /!\ ----------------------------------------------------------------- COLLECTORVISION presents : =========== Pyramid Warp & Battleship Clapton II =========== -
Never happen There is a serious (painful almost) design flaw I never got around to addressing, it does work great with the game engine I designed that was the inspiration for the holder's design. Maybe I'll finish it some day before 2030.
-
The game should have been called HARDvark 🤣(at least for my skills) Both versions are awesome games and it was cool that both versions were out the same day and place.

Bring extra Mayo for CMart -
I'm not sure that WAS Mayo
-
You have to live on the edge once and a while

CMart has been terrorized by Mayo at every restaurant. Even when you say "don't put mayo on unless you want to see a grown man cry" they STILL put mayo on.
