IntelliMission

Interminable chains of emoticons are the new pictures of fast food. Much like coronavirus, we must start accepting the new situation.

It's obviously some kind of obsession. And it's really scary that this user has children. Let's see how long his new incarnation lasts until the mods check IPs and realize it's Guy 2.0.

It looks like it will only be backwards-compatible with PS4. It's also a bit slower than the new Xbox.

Intellivision Entertainment shows games, Sony and Microsoft show specs. Nintendo wanted us to do jogging at home even before the Coronavirus crisis. It's clear why some of us have become intellivisioners.

For anyone who's not into techno pop, try muting the trailer and play this rock song instead. 🤓

Some ideas: - A sandbox, perhaps similar to GTA but with some added elements - A strategy game similar to the board game Pandemic - An arcade game where you have to pick up food from a crowded supermarket - A story-based indie graphic adventure about isolation during the quarantine

Can anyone post the 4-5 screenshots shared by Tommy in the last few days in a single message? Thanks in advance! 🙃

Hey Tommy, here's a cool idea: - Release the Amico version of Net Yaroze/Dreams - Since it's too complex for a normal game and removes the S from SAFE, make it available only with a special code sent after a web purchase to avoid casuals accidentally buying it - Put a simplified version of Unity with access to the Amico controller - As in Net Yaroze/Dreams, the only way to play the games would be via the same development program - Make game contests and publish the best one periodically

Excellent news that will probably affect the Amico: Ahmad: No Signs of Xbox Series X and PS5 Being Delayed at This Point

no your post is "malarkey" RetroAdvisoryBoard's post was spot on and one of the best i've read Considering @Guy has been permanently banned and jaybird3rd wrote his name between quotation marks, and also taking into account that @Guy is a "new user" that, coincidentally, only posts in this particular thread, with a suspicious first message that said "remember when Tommy said that we should chill the f**k out?", I would assume @Guy was somebody's second account. Who's that somebody, you'll ask? Well, somebody banned from this topic, somebody who has shown in the past that he's unable to leave this topic, somebody obsessed with Tommy Tallarico, somebody obsessed with defending mobile gaming from our "attacks" and somebody with a great experience launching personal attacks thinking that the mods will not care because he's a subscriber. I seem to remember somebody like that with an avatar based on a Dreamcast dancing game, but I'm not really sure. Not that I really care all that much, but I wanted to give my two cents before a real new user reads this and, as it happened before, thinks the mods are removing messages and banning users for no reason. Back to the Amico: Tommy, that racing game looks totally Mashed/Drive to Survive. I'm looking forward to see the rest! 👍

I don't think so... They were reviewing a 1989 computer game, complaining about the inability to save.

@RetroAdvisoryBoard Excellent message. Monkey Island, my favorite game, cost $100,000 to make, 20 times less than Grim Fandango and hundreds of times less than modern AAA games that try (and fail) to be movies. And $100,000 will be the budget for every Amico game.

Wow... Somebody should use the text above to make a documentary and upload it to Youtube. 🤑👍

Another interesting anecdote related to the revisionism and the NES: I was reading a review of a 1989 Amiga game. The reviewer said that Zelda for the NES (1986) was the first game to offer the option to save. A pretty good fairy tale story... if you live in a world where computers don't exist. The reality: You could save the game in Zork (1981), and possibly even before in some early mainframe games.

That channel has some other great videos about Quake, Doom, Wolfenstein 3D and Carmaggeddon, among others. They're not perfect, though: not enough focus on the puzzles in Monkey Island and too much focus on the story, ultra HD and deformed aspect ratio on the Quake gameplay footage, barely any presence of the original EGA versions in the Monkey Island/Lucasarts video... In this other topic we talk about revisionism when classifying consoles in generations, but I hate this kind of "visual" revisionism too where it seems that many youtubers born after 1980 just can't stand, allow or accept that early 3D games had low resolution graphics and instead they use emulators to "improve" the graphics, in many cases destroying the general look of the game by using an incorrect aspect ratio.

For me, the most blatant omissions from the "official" history of video games that most gaming websites tell are - Consoles before the NES. Barely mentioned except for a quick mention of the 2600. For example, the Intellivision did many important things and in Spain most of us didn't even know it existed until recent months. - Arcade machines. They tell the history of games as if you could only play in consoles, but arcade games were huge in the 80s and 90s. - Computers. Again, it's like they didn't even exist. 8 bit computers, 16 bit computers, MS-DOS... Many important games were exclusive to this systems and never appeared in consoles, and many others appeared in computers first. This is the most criminal omission IMO.

I actually don't give a damn about generations: you could say all my favorite systems are in the same generation as Pong machines and I would still be happy to have played them. However, the discussion is interesting because it's revealing lots of technical data which is part of how different each system used to be.

Being happy it's important to keep the defenses high, so here are some songs that can help my fellow intellivisioners deal with potential quarantines: Basement Jaxx - Red Alert Ween - Mononucleosis Weird Al Jankovic - Virus Alert Aerosmith - Permanent Vacation

By the way, I just checked and found that: - The Philips CD-I has 6 homebrew games. - The Mattel Hyperscan has a "homebrew" section in an independent Wiki page... but has no homebrew games. The page says "This is a list of homebrew for the Mattel HyperScan. (TODO: Put something here :P)".

I suspect many people in this forum will find the following article interesting: Coronavirus is not killing 3.4% of patients. How the rate got inflated and why it will get lower.

Guys, the 3.5 % mortality rates are calculated using detected cases, not total number of cases... Most cases don't produce symptoms and are cured without ever being detected.

I have said this in the past, but all those sytems, all the limitations... I started playing video games in 1989, but those were the days. With the 6th generation, most of the magic was lost (check out this awesome interview with one of the creators of Crash Bandicoot to see how cool was when only a few developers were able to do certain things with a machine, even things not officially allowed).

As long as Phil Harrison doesn't join, they will be fine.

By the way, here's a relevant opinion from the CEO of Intellivision Entertainment: If he were the CEO of Sony or Nintendo, he would free the development tools for 20-30 year old consoles to promote homebrew games and potentially increase brand loyalty. Of course, this would create a few technical issues: PS1 needs a modchip, price of the old consoles would increase... But there's always a legal way, games could be sold digitally on the store.

About music and arcade machines: 1) The main reason why I'm not attracted to bands like Styx is the high pitch voice of the singers. I actually like the guitars and instruments. 2) Am I the only one that lived some of the most epic adventures on the arcades with fake arcade machines that were actually consoles with a timer? This one was a big hit in Spain and I used to play this other one a lot (shame they didn't include it in the mini version of the console).
