Most like it is one of the ultra rare sun-baked and heat/age faded label variants. -

Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A
fdr4prez replied to Tommy Tallarico's topic in Intellivision Amico
Well, considering the fact that there hasn't been any releases for Amico, then the library size is currently 0 so a 2TB card can hold an infinite amount of Amico's libraries Now we can only hope that eventually the released Amico library would fill up a few of these -

are we really sure the Intellivision only sold 3 million
fdr4prez replied to ASalvaro's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius

Anyone willing to code my game in exchange for in game graphics?

fdr4prez replied to ASalvaro's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
Don't forget we can add this one to the count: Something tells me that we are not going to reach our 3M goal I keep losing count -
Maybe it is broke and that is why it was in the recycle bin? No markings or such on the interior board or chips? What does it look like in there?

fdr4prez replied to ASalvaro's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
It has been discussed in other threads here, too, but now if you try and search this forum for "million", you get about a million amico thread hits. -
