You DID give us something Earthworm Jim!!! I'll take a soundtrack! or a few.. Lets see -Armor Ambush? or Triple Action?.. Evil Knievel. Skiing. Cornhole even looks fun. Not to mention AD&D. All have possibilities. Looking forward to seeing them come along. With the Evil Knievel one, it almost looks like you can recreate some of his real life jumps plus make your own stunt tracks up.

8 Player DiveKick is what we really need.

Love the color!!! You can Shamrock Shake the controller.. Ouch.. That hurt even typing it.

Hi all, About the time the Virtual Boy was coming to market. I remember seeing an ad for a new Full Color 3D "Virtual Reality" system. One Ad. That was it. It didn't show any screenshots. But If I recall, it said that it was 32-bit. Full color. Cartridge based. Fully self contained. For the life of me I cannot remember the name of it. I can't find the ad or the scan I did of it. -Sad-. This was obviously years ago. If I recall correctly the controls were sort of attached to the screen. Think of the Virtual Boy with a controller on either side. You hold it up to your face. I don't remember seeing straps. No screenshots of games. This was not the various R-Zone - type devices. Does anyone else remember this?

Thank you Tommy!!!! Love the choices.. Now I actually have to MAKE a choice! Now even more jealous of the Founders Edition people! Looking forward to seeing Yar's and Adventure in action. I can remember when I read about the Adventure's Easter egg in a magazine. (Electronic Games if I recall). Spending the night over at my friends house. Then finally finding the invisible dot. After that, it was HOURS before finally finding the hidden chamber. Not quite the same with Yar's. That was an accident. Duplicating it was the hard part.

Any chance of the VIP edition give you the ability to pick your color? Or will it all be the Woodgrain?

Yup.. I can see myself buying probably all of those.. It would be great to get the original designers "Seal of approval" for each of them Between Warren Robinett. Howard Scott Warshaw. David Theurer (SP?) and the others. If there was a "Minter" mode for Tempest... Jeff Minter. That would be amazing.

Well now.. No e3, but we are getting more trailers on Monday. A new pre-order by the end of the month.-Insert subtle hint about wanting to see Earthworm Jim in action -. More videos on the Amico itself. It's shaping up to be a good month for us! Thank you @Tommy Tallarico! Speculation on some of the new games being shown - Earthworm Jim... Earthworm Jim... Earthworm Jim. Zaxxon. Battle Zone. Star Strike. A Tron Game. Did I mention EWJ?

Sorry everyone .. I didn't mean to get E3 cancelled with this post...

Hi Tommy, If E3 gets cancelled you should set the booth up and have a tour anyway. In your own, Tommy way, of course. To make it a genuine experience, set some speakers up just beyond the outside the booth. Pump in loud crowd noises and music. So much that you have to yell into the microphone to show off some of Earthwork Jim's new moves and levels. Don't forget to have spinning and blinking lights. That is a must. I'm sure all the cool stuff you are going to give away at the booth is already produced, or at least, on it's way. Put the items in the store and send the proceeds to a good charity. it would be our way of giving back.

Looking forward to more videos!!! Any and all new info would be great! I like the idea of the VIP edition. Please put me on the please do list. Any chance of Venture coming to the Amico?

You flip the car on it's side... It's stored on the underside.. near the spare. You can also use that Big USB 2 port on the side (with an adapter) to charge your phone.

Mark me down for any and all Starpath games!!! Like the two above add Escape from the Mindmaster and Communist Mutants from Outer Space! Loved all of those games!!!

Agreed!!! We do the new stuff!! Sorry.. I typed it.. Then face-palmed. Curse you Dr. Horrible for having such fun music.

Your post got me thinking.. What was the last good Skiing/snowboarding game that was a blast to just pick up and play? They've become more skiing/snow boarding simulations now. Not just pick up and play. Not that I mind those. Just like there is a place for Gran Turismo sitting right beside Ridge Racer on the virtual shelves. *** Here's to hoping the Skiing game will have a Randomizer level so we can have a new adventure each time we play *** Along with all the set courses, of course. Random Fire (and RF Maps o' Death) were amazing games!!! YES!!!!! Yes it was on the PSX as well. I'm going to toss in a random game I hope gets updated for Amico when I post stuff. Tommy can feel free to confirm or deny any plans Random hopeful update: Zaxxon.

This is a pretty cool time to be a gamer.. All these super powerful boxes coming out. A laptop manufacturer tells the world that their $2000.00 Laptop will be more powerful than your $500.00 brand new console. I would certainly hope so. It seems like a new iteration of the same, but more powerful, stuff. Now with Backward compatibility! (An old Cartoon of Bloom County comes to mind about the Banana Jr.). Not sure what other new cool new features are being touted right now. Don't get me wrong, both (maybe all 3) updated/upgraded consoles sound great. Looking forward to all of them! But it does sound like the same thing, but prettier. Then there is the Amico: Just saw an interview with Tommy. Another one? Yes. He gets around. This is from a few weeks ago. Stressing the fun family (SAFE) play. Loved the exclusive info about tapping your friend's console with your controller( utilizing RFID) and instantly making all of your library available to play while you are there. OK probably not INSTANTLY.. But close. Not to mention the cool carrying case for the controller. And I'm sure there is more hidden stuff that Tommy is not telling us. MORE to come I suppose. Like I said, it is pretty darned cool to be a gamer. Now More info on TRON and TEMPEST please..

Interesting... Wiggle the controller to Tip the cow or to lift yourself up while scooting across a chain. Whip the controller when you whip your head. Use the screen to solve puzzles using the controller as a 2nd screen. Some fun possibilities. Reconfigure Ash (Evil Dead) as EJs Groovy voice... Looking forward to actually being able to pre-order the next version of the Amico. I missed out as life kept me away from the forum or email. - insert sad face-

Wow... That pic brought me back. Dracula for Colecovision, if I recall.

You are stuck with us.. We are all like a bad rash.. Thanks for taking time out of your schedule to answer all of our questions!

I cannot believe that I missed the entire preorder fun!!! Life got in the way of the Amico! Very long story. I haven't been here in weeks. Haven't posted anything for longer. I just haven't had many moments. DANG!!!! I'm so far behind on posts! If anyone cancels.. I want to get one of those.. Put me on a list! If not, whenever the next round of pre-orders starts up, I'll order one then. Thank you Tommy for keeping up with all of this and answering all the crazy posts!!!!

Missed that post.. Dang... Hope he can forgive me. ha ha.

Any chance of having BOTH versions when you buy a game? Play the original... Then the new.. With a push of the button..Shake of the controller.. Up up down down left right left right BA. (Spin Dial 3 times counter-clockwise). Or the ultimate way - Say "Hey Amico... Play wood grain mode".

Wearing my Amico shirt at work today. Anyone else? Tommy?
