    When comparing the price of $249 with other console prices such as the switch, it’s rarely taken into consideration that you will be getting 2 controllers and 6 games with the system. This means you do not need to spend any extra money on games when you buy the console. This is an important message to get across in the marketing plan. They could have put the price lower with one controller and no games but it’s sold as a complete package which is nice and people need to know this.

    I agree if anything it gives the people who are against the Amico more validation like Pat and Ian when they talk about people on atariage being a bunch of yes-men. It's all right to have critical opinions it helps things get better A lot of people don't understand that, they think you're a "hater" there's that word again, just because you're not fully positive all the time it's pathetic and everybody knows in business if you're surrounded by yes-men you fail.

    Very true. I’m all in 100% and love it all, but it is important to hear all sides both positive and negative. It’s similar to being in love with a stock. It can get you in trouble. I’ll admit that I just love everything about the Amico and am not critical so it’s important to pay attention to all of the reasonable comments and concerns being put forward. That makes a better product in the end.

    I have a question for Tommy .I loved the missile command demo and was wondering how the high scores would work ? There is coop play 1-8 player and VS as well as you mentioned, and single player mode I’m assuming.  Have you set up the local high score boards yet ? For example, will there be high scores for each number of players in coop ? That would be 8 separate leaderboards for coop mode. And places to enter each player name ? So 2 names for 2 player coop , 4 names for 4 player coop,  8 names for 8 player coop etc ? 4 player VS with space to enter the 2 names of the winning team or both 2 player teams if they both make the high score board  ? I am probably asking for too much but wondering how it would work ? Im

    confusing  myself lol I’m hoping each distinct mode will have a high score board.

    I just watched Pat and Ian’s video again when they talk about playing all of these games on your phone, I realize they must have no family or friends to play with. It’s makes me more sad than angry at this point as they don’t seem like happy people. This is not a normal review reaction. They seem to think that playing skiing for example on your phone is the same experience as playing with 2,3 or 4 players on your tv and sharing the experience with family and friends. (Not to mention high scores) If I download a skiing game for $1 on my phone, I will play a few times and that’s it because I like my gaming to be a shared experience and I have no motivation to keep playing (They don’t like when anyone says family and friends ...lol) They need to take their time and think about what they say. The same goes for all of the games they say “I can play this on my phone” think....think .....think about this instead of just being angry. If the system is not for you That’s fine but a review should be fair and your anger was showing before you began the review. Enough said !

    Yeah... I don't think it's been done before... but I thought it was a super cool way to get families to battle each other on the leaderboard chart.  And it can be combinations of folks as well!  So mom & son could have a certain score... but mom & dad could have a score as well.  Then son & daughter team up to try and beat mom & dad's score!  

    Simple concept around family and fun that no one focuses on.

     

    We will.

     

     

    Awesome !!! That’s what I was thinking ! Fantastic !!

    Yep!  It's in our plan.  That way multiple family members can battle each other on the local (or online) leaderboards!  

    That’s great !! Never seen that done before and if it’s coop it would make the competition even better !!! Had that ever been done ? Anyone know ? Never seen a high score board where you could enter multiple names !

    Good question!  Unfortunately for shipping... the Founders Editions will be shipped separately from the VIP's because the FE's get their machines earlier.  One of the big perks of the FE's that we definitely did not want to replicate with the VIP's.  Also, the Founders Editions will all need to be shipped to the Intellivision offices because I'll need to open everyone of them up and sign them and then put them back into the box.  I'm guessing the VIP's (which don't need to be signed) will NOT be traveling to the Intellivision offices first.  So they will need to be shipped separately.  HOWEVER!!!  The shipping will be less if folks bought multiple FE's or multiple VIP's.  Just not the combination as they will be shipped separately.

     

     

    So I bought an FE and my wife bought an FE .....same address. So one shipping charge ? I understand it would be a bit more because it’s 2 units. Is this correct ?

    Hi Tommy ! I have yet another question about high scores. You have already answered and said there would be local high scores with place to enter your name /initials. I had a thought about multi player games, for example Astrosmash. Would it be possible to have a place for 2 names or 2 initials when it’s multiplayer coop ? If I have a high score with my daughter or a high score with my wife, it would be super cool to be able to enter 2 names for a coop team game !!  Same if there was a game with 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 .....thoughts ?

    Great post.


    Avoidance, ignorance, ego and tribalism. 

    Yeah... the big 3 wouldn't show unfinished footage for sure.  But we're not them.  If we had 20 million people on our mailing list and social media... we could be a little more discreet as well.  But we don't.  And it's important that we build from the ground up in a grass roots kind of way.  Showing the process of building the machines and games is a very different approach... but one that we can do because of who we are and how we're approaching everything.

     

     

    That’s why this is such an amazing experience ! Showing Unfinished games and letting us experience the process. I am so thankful !!

    The Pat & Ian video was hard to watch. So much pure hatred. They claim they are only being objective, but you can tell they get excited pretending to be right and know it all's.  Na na na na na, i told you so. 

    These are not happy people . When you need to tear something down to that degree, it’s you with the issue.

    Just ran into this looking.on you youtube.  Smh these guys  what part of early development  did they not pay attention to ..nor did they or even any of us play a single one of these yet  to rip anything apart.  They just trying at this point  it seems to find something to hate.

    I never comment on YouTube videos but enough is enough. This was my comment. They were just rude and the comment about that awesome music . Why ? Here is my comment and I removed and edited the rude words. 
     

    You guys are entitled to your own opinions but you sound very uneducated and rude ....seriously. No need to be nasty and insult people’s work. Not impressed. Would you be so rude if it was your brother , sister , wife etc bringing out the system ? I don’t think so. People feel so entitled to say anything they want online . Sheesh

    They just piss me of at this point. I haven’t even watched this yet. They are always ready to be negative. And saying you can play these on mobile devices is so ridiculous. It’s about the coop and multiplayer, couch coop , high scores , family and friends competing , playing together and having fun. It’s not about a graphic comparisons. They are in their own box. Stay there !!!! While we have fun !

    How many Colors for the controllers are planned for launch ? One for each color of system ? I want at least one of each color, maybe 2. I will also buy every game in digital format as well as physical copies of whatever games are available for collection purposes ! Never had a feeling of attachment for a game console and it’s because of the personal touch Tommy is giving us.  I’m all in ! This time it’s personal 😂
