NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another one to print out and hang in our hallway with the Han in carbonite! Finally catching up... Meant to do this earlier... AM2-D2- A very sturdy and dependable controller droid. He (She?) has many hidden features that no one knows about. Leading me to a question for @Tommy Tallarico - Have you disclosed all the cool features of the controller or hardware in general? Or are there still some surprises lurking under that LCD (LED?) panel? Or possibly under the hood of the console itself? Curious droids want to know.

I have a few pages to catch up on. I’m on vacation and am trying to get up to date. Just had to comment on this. Don’t forget to purchase the flip up OLED Screen for those road trips. Just in case you. See to play cornhole while driving.

There is something about this design that just hits me in the feels.. I love this. Then i got to thinkin' what about making the touchpad touchscreen so it would be easier to manufacture and no multiple parts/tooling needed? It may only drive the cost of parts up a tiny bit. I stopped after I realized I needed to thank @Tommy Tallarico for these sorts of tangents in my brain. I was always interested in the actual process of manufacturing things that we like to use/play with, but watching Tommy tell us about what they are going through makes me appreciate it more.

With all these videos coming out and you being the first to post almost every time, I'm sure we can cut you a little slack... Keep up the awesome work!!!

Tommy has mentioned that VIPs may release early as well.. Not as early as the FE's. You all deserve to be first out of the gate! Just wanted to see if we could get some VIP love as well... I was going to write that all you VIP'ers need to stop rubbing it n our faces.. But It's hard to write it with the fun that it was intended. I'm sure that SOMEONE would take that as a "split" in the community and it would be on a Youtube video or a Podcast. I can imagine "Growing concerns about the possible launch delay... AGAIN!" type headlines. "Lag still an issue!" "It's still a scam! See!?!?!? more delays!" are possible other headlines.

Don't forget us lowly VIPs... (I know you won't. Just putting it out there)

A very good video that should put things into perspective. He mentions the Analogue Pocket being delayed. Also goes into a lot of other areas. He has nothing to do with Amico. I'm not sure if he's even mentioned it ever in his videos. Just an all around good watch. Talks about Just in Time manufacturing/shipping. Manufacturing containers. Even the cost of shipping has gone up almost 200%. A ton of interesting points of view. A certain Transparent CEO that posts here once in a while has said most of these talking points for quite a while. Just a good watch. Highly recommended.

HA I type out my thoughts and one of the regulars around here make a video.. Good job Creeper! And of course thanks to Intellivision Master for posting everything so darned quick!

Another fun video. Loads of people that aren't the "regulars" on this forum. Including families. People addressed ease of use. Responsiveness. Having that mom talk about connecting with their children through video games. That hit home. The controller is the barrier. There is no way around that. Seeing both young and old have fun makes me smile. I may have mentioned this a while ago, but Just in case - I have an autistic son. Anything to help him connect with his mom. She sits through his shows that he likes. JUST to connect. To be able to interact with him and not just sit beside him while watching something would mean a lot. And if she has a chance to keep up with him AND beat him, all the better. My son's two passions are - 1)Lego. 2)Video Games. Usually in that order. Unless a new Lego, Pikmin, or Luigi's mansion game come out. Then it gets jumbled. Who wouldn't like to see some form of Lego License on the Amico? I'm sure something uniquely fun could be done on the system.

Another confirmation that the Amico is running on a Raspberry Pi!!! WE knew it!!! LOL. The socks are mesmerizing though... I believe Tommy has confirmed it's not a Raspberry Pi.. But what about a Banana Pi? Rock Pi? Nano Pi? Beagle Pi? (Should have posted this a few days ago). Great. Now I want dessert!

Found this online for us all to gaze at: To go from that.. to the hand cramping nature of a single joycon controller.. ouch..

@Tommy TallaricoDid you just drop some news on us?!?!?! We may be able to choose another color prior to shipping? We are not locked in to the color we chose? Not that I want to change my choice. But it would be amazing to actually have that choice!!!

I can see when this becomes a success, someone making a USB hub in the shape of... an old school cart? A small Intellivision? A mini Amico? A mini 2600? OR something that the Amico can sit on top of. to keep the lines nice and clean. Maybe the company that will eventually create the intv Cart reader can incorporate the usb hub in it as well. (along with an M.2 and an Atari 2600/7800 slot. Just to be overkill). No, I don't know if/when that is happening. I'm just saying Wouldn't that be somethingtm?

To all the lucky people that got to lay their hands on a controllers. See the console. Plus the bonus hanging out with Tommy. Congrats! It sounds like it was both fun, and informative. I do have a semi difficult question for all of you: From what you have seen. And given there will be more optimizations of the games. Do you see any potential issues with the console? limited CPU/GPU Power? Memory? Playing certain games on the controller? The size of the controller? I don't think durability will be an issue unless you put it in a campfire, or run it over with a mower. Bear attack? Not trying to add fuel to any negativity fire. I think EVERY system ever has had something about it. Just wonderin' PS - Every few months I mention Tron or ET in a post.. So I'm sending out vibes that these are still in the potential bucket. Hoping for a Wouldn't that be somethingtm post soon PPS - I know Tempest is in early works as well. Would love to see at least a screenshot. PPSSPP - Adventure too. I'll stop there.

Kenny Everett was hilarious! I ran the grooves out of this album. I thought I was the only one who remembered him. Yes his space ship is a flying cassette player. And the 12 year old me still chuckles at the one liners I can hear (along with the other voices) in my head. Karla "We are about to die, say I'm lovely" Kremmen "OK..... I'm lovely" Not sure how you could make a family friendly Amico game out of this. But it would be fun trying!!!!! Not to mention the art style would go well with the Amico.

Let Auto take over.

"Take him to Detroit" Keeping it family friendly I won't mention some of the other parts of the movie. There are a million things from Top Secret - I will break out in Skeet Surfing every so often. I also named a Chinchilla after Charlie Sheen's Character in Hot Shots!

Yeah... it's getting brutal out there. Here is a good video on the subject of shortages from a Canadian youtuber that has slightly more subscribers than OEB Pete. A smidge. Overall a good video. Good explanation as to what is happening all across the industries. Plus he is helping out "gamers". And a way to help out local businesses to boot. Remember us little people when you get to that number of subscribers Pete!!!!!

Here is the problem with Imagic games is that I like almost all of them. So whatever one I get first is fine by me! But if I had go with an order: Demon Attack MicroSurgeon Beauty and the Beast What are the chances that they will all be physical releases? (Fingers crossed about paying homage to the Imagic Packaging). As a Bonus for the next round (in any order). Star Voyager Dragon Fire Cosmic Ark I could name more on my want list of Imagic games. Just don't want to be greedy. Still holding out hopes for some StarPath/Arcadia remakes.

Forgot to say thank you all for the replies!!!

Loved this video! Now we need both bot Ultra Slow motion...

Again. All the space Overlays.. Bomb Squad. Obviously want some of the licensed games ones.. Never forget Frog Bog!

First off.. I like the idea of Box art... I could even see, eventually, both sets of box art. The original and the newly re imagined ones. As for size. I actually like having the original size box art. But I will not turn away from the large versions. Everyone has given some great ideas. So put me down for all the space games! I'd like to see the intellivoice games be represented, But I'm not sure how much I want a word bubble pointing down that states "It talks"... Would you consider Hover Force? It's a later title, but I do like the cover. Buzz Bombers had a nice colorful cover.

I had started to write a Welcome aboard email. I stated that there is a good group of people. Fun. Engaging. AND best of all, all enthusiastic about the console. All are Honest. I actually was going to mention that even Tommy comes in and answers a ton of questions. Keeps us informed. Very Transparent. Almost to a fault. We all signed up to "learn how the sausage was made". I got called into a meeting for work and boom... The proof of what i was writing was already posted! Clear that post... Start a new one... Ask any question. Share your thoughts!!! Someone here will answer.

At one point 2 USB Type A ports were going back there. I think USB2 as far as speed goes. But I could be wrong. They may have been USB3. But it was decided that all could be done through the USBC port. (mr_me beat me by 30 seconds LOL!)
