Orange Guard

I preordered the FE and still have not received an email confirmation from Intellivision. Is anyone else in the same boat? I see the charge on my card. I checked my spam folder as well. I am wondering if it is because I just used the credit card option on the preorder page instead of signing into PayPal.

Hi Tommy, I love the new gameplay clip and it has me wondering. Will there be any sort of story presented for these retro reimagined games? I played all these when I was a kid and I had a great time but I didn’t, and still don’t know exactly what is going on in some of these games. Like, why is there a robot going after these people, are they prisoners they are coming out of a cell?, why is there a spider, etc.? Some sort of story to explain all this rather than just putting you right in the action would be awesome.

Ok that would make me more optimistic. It isn’t clear to me what is FE vs regular retail.

Hey Tommy have you thought about maybe allowing people with golden tickets the first shot at founders edition preorder? I need that wood grain so bad I’ll be disappointed If I miss out.

I didn't even think of that possibility. Great to hear they've accounted for that. I do think that horizontal usage of the controller seems like it would work pretty well and may be the main mode that developers target. Especially since you could easily flip it around depending on right or left handed usage.

I've gotta say, the original Amico controller design where the two side buttons were closer together looked more appealing to me but I can't speak to how it was in actual use. The one concern I have (it won't stop me from pre-ordering) is that the side button on the bottom may get accidentally pressed when I'm holding in in vertical mode.

I was born in ‘79 and I was playing the Intellivision when I was 4 and on. We didn’t have Pac-Man and I never heard of the Locomotion game. Because of the age I was at the time I never knew what else was available I just knew the games we had. The planes were always my favorite part of Triple Action so I’m glad that is the one they are bringing back. I left Baseball off my list even though it was one of my favorites because I am pretty satisfied with the modern Super Mega Baseball series. Also I have to say to Tommy, I have a ton of respect for you being so transparent with everything and interacting on a regular basis with the community. I’ve never seen anything like it and wish more company leadership would do the same.

You just made my day with this list. October can’t come soon enough!
