If you signed up for the newsletter, in the first one you got $10 off the shirt. $25 is reasonable considering the prices they charge today, not to mention the extras that come with the shirt!

I'll believe that when I see it! I wouldn't hold my breath...

It definitely matters. Why put an SD card slot on one version and not the next? I think it would sell way more if they did. I know I won't be buying one without it. As for ATGames it seems the communication is getting worse. I'm still disappointed they couldn't get new paddles to work for the FB9!

This is how you use the new Amico controller...

So are you saying you have some things planned for today to start the 1 year countdown? That's the way I'm reading it...

Perish the thought! George says there is only one clear winner...AMICO!

It was mentioned by someone that the hardware limits what version of Stella it can run. I hope they are proven wrong!

Not sure what you mean? Disagree about what? Working for a living?

Wait, what?! Are you saying this guy actually makes a living and supports himself giving his opinions on a YouTube channel?! Please tell me you are kidding Tommy? If I was his Dad, I'd be telling him to move out of the basement and get a REAL JOB!!! 😄

Sure, so did the other FB's, but do they perform well like the standard ones did on the original 2600?

Why does that even matter anymore? With the FB9 just load in what you want on the SD card. I'm betting they still don't have paddles working on this new FBX...

I'm way behind the curve of modern video game consoles, but I had to share that I played the jackbox party game pack on the XBox that a friend of ours had. We had 7 people playing at the same time using our smartphones as controllers and it was awesome! Because of this, I am hoping the Amico will integrate something like this in it's game list for the 2020 launch. Tommy, have you considered utilizing these kind of word and picture type party games?

I own an Atari and need a FB so I can play it on an HDTV. I can't stand the snowy/grainy screen look when I hook it up so I keep it on my old tube TV. The clear crisp picture I get with a FB makes for a better gaming experience, especially with multiple players.

The biggest problem with the Retron 77 from what I have heard is the joysticks they made are worthless as they brake after just a few hours of play. There still is no way of using paddles unless you know how to hack them to work. The cartridge port is unreliable and inconsistent. That's just too many negatives even if you can load Stella on it. It's a shame Hyperkin didn't support the product after they put it out. I'm glad I went with the FB9 as the wireless joysticks are just as good as the FB8 and you can also use the classic corded joysticks that you use with the original 2600. That's more of a win-win to me. The fact that you can play this on an HDTV through HDMI and add more games via SD card slot makes this better than the FB2. The game compatibility is better on the FB9 than the FB2.

Thanks! I guess that clears that up.

Well then that changes everything! For that reason... 😁😀😁

I was under the impression that Tommy said you would be able to play games as 1 player AND multi-player (2-8 players). If all the games are not going to have the option for one player in the case that nobody else is around to play... Even the Wii had an option for 1 player only. I hope this is fake news or something has been terribly misunderstood!

Agree. I just wonder how they would do a multiplayer dungeon crawl if two people move in opposite directions off either side of the screen. How would it split up the action? I can't seem to picture that one...

With all that is going on in the world, there is one thing I can definitely support... TALLARICO 2020 😀😀😀😀

Now THAT is friggin' cool! The quick game shots on the latest video were not enough to push me over the top, but this is a good sign of things to come. Well done sir! 😁

Cmart, make sure you make the push to Paul and or Tommy on the Intellivisionaries Podcast to get those corner boards in the new Amico hockey game curved instead of the mistake they made in Slap Shot Super Pro Hockey. Thanks!

Tommy, Can we get any more info on the list of Intellivision games that will be reimagined besides the ones announced in the press release? More specifically I am hoping these will be added and was wondering if you could confirm: Beamrider Bump N Jump Commando NFL Football NHL Hockey Space Battle Space Spartans Treasure of Tarmin

I think QR codes are slowly becoming obsolete. I would be surprised if IE went that route.

This is one of the may reasons I'm glad Intellivision is coming out with the Amico! Back in the day when Atari-Intellivision-Colecovision ruled the video game scene, Nintendo came along and passed them all as each one fizzled out. I tried the NES and didn't have as much fun as I did the other three. When the SNES came along, the same thing happened except I preferred Sega Genesis. Today I have regrets not giving the Wii a chance as I liked it when played at a relatives house. Now with the release of the Amico on the horizon, it has the opportunity to be what the Wii could have been had they continued. I'm just excited for this new system to bring back the fun I once had with those pre-crash systems!
