    Why couldn’t it be Lock n Chase? I’d rather have that than Pac-Man. 

    Me too . I’m not really interested in pac-man. It’s been done too many times and lock n chase is cooler ! I would love to see a reimagined version of it ! But on the other hand, I’m sure if a reimagined version of pac-man was made by these guys it would be cool.

    How about some positive and happy news for the world right now!

     

    Intellivision is happy to announce that next Tuesday, March 17th we will be releasing a brand new 3 minute gameplay trailer highlighting 22 games!

     

    Almost half of which have never before been seen or talked about. Oh look! Here's one now!  1f642.png

    That looks cool ! I remember playing super sprint in The arcade with friend and will never forget spinning that  small steering wheel to the right and to the left like a crazy person. I can’t quite picture controlling this type of game with the Amico controller, but I’m confident it will work well !!

    One time activation or always needs internet?

    I was wondering the same thing. One of my reasons for wanting to buy digital and collect all of the physical Amico games is so in years to come possibly after the servers go down, I can still play the games if anything should  happen to my system and I lose the digital games.

    I hate phone games.. despise them. Screen is way too small for my eyes, No tactile feedback on buttons, and your thumbs block part of the screen. For me, a lifetime gamer, it is just the worst platform I have ever experienced.

    And don’t forget that high scores can be bought because of in app purchases. That pisses me off as a lifetime gamer and a super fan of the 70’s and 80’s arcade where score meant everything.

    What if they were sold separately?   :)

     

     

    Now you are talking !!! I actually have always wished that they would be sold separately since there are Usually only  2-3 games out of 5 I want. I love jack box games but they sometimes make 2-3 versions or updates to the same game and they end up being very similar, and some are just very weird in my opinion ! But the ones that are good make up for the weaker ones. I’m sure there are many people who love the ones I don’t, so selling them individually would be perfect ! Is your idea to have the same versions as we do now with some questions removed or new versions with added questions ? i ask  this because there are many fun jack box games that I would love to play with my daughter but are not a good fit due to the type of questions / responses etc ...I understand that you might not be able to answer my question at this time due to many reasons. Jack box games are unique and in my opinion  they have no competition at the moment in the type of entertainment they provide and definitely belong on the Amico !! When use my switch , at least 50% of the time (maybe even 75%) it’s to play jack box games. That what friends and family want to play !

    So, here is some guess and hope. Number 1 is for 9 pts, # 2 for 8 points, etc.
    Let's play with me !?  (Skiing doesn't count, because we know it will be there with 7 levels, and I don't know if it's part of the 9 games we never saw! ( We saw pictures, but not the game in action ! )

     

    Guess :

    1- Pong

    2- Burgertime
    3- Frogger
    4- Centipede
    5- Baseball
    6- Hockey
    7- Demon Attack

     

    Hope :

    8- Microsurgeon
    9- Horse Racing

     

    Probably we could see 1 recreational game like Corn Hole, but not sure it will be if the trailer is for retro fan !

    I was thinking about corn hole last night and am sure it would be a hit as a family game !! I am Also strangely excited for pong ....lol ...Bring on reimagined burger time !!

    i have a question for Tommy. When will production begin ? I realize the final hardware has to be locked down before production can begin. With all

    of the issues in China and it being mentioned in the last few weeks that things were 98% complete with the hardware .......just wondering. 
     

    I can’t wait for the new video on Monday and will buy all of the games discount or no discount !!

    ...or maybe just ALL of the Jackbox games... but Family Friendly versions

     

    :)

     

     

    That would be amazing !! I would rebuy them all ! I was thinking of those games but thought because of the pricing (around 25 unless they are on sale) the jack box games would not fit into the pricing model of the Amico.

    I'm envisioning more of something like a Kindle Unlimited or Amazon Prime subscription. (With Kindle Unlimited, you can download 10 ebooks at a time, but once you hit 10 you have to return one to check out another.)

     

    A prime subscription could let people try out any single game for a month, but then if they wanted to play it after the month was up they would  have to purchase it. Maybe with a discount, maybe not.

     

    An Amico Unlimited subscription ($10/month?) might let people have 5-10 games on their machine (in addition to anything actually purchased). This wouldn't be as critical early on, but after 6 months or a year when there are 60+ games in the Amico store it would appear to be a killer deal for the consumer.

    Interesting but with all they have on their plate with launching a new system, this sounds way to complicated to even consider At the moment.

    Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo have huge mark-ups on their games.  There's still a healthy profit margin with a discount.  Pricing on Amico digital games are already discounted compared to their physical versions.

    I agree and I don’t expect or even want  sales, especially in the first year. They need to make some money. If they don’t, we won’t be getting good quality games . To me, the software is  already very cheap and I do have some concerns That the developers won’t make enough money. Remember we are not dealing with the same user base and the big 3 and they can not absorb losses in the same way. The last thing I’m concerned about is sales . I want quality games.

    Don't be disappointed! I always rate your comments as a reflection of the current situation. We all know (at least we should!) things can change the next minute and there are a lot of them beyond your influence. 

    I feel the same way. I was looking forward to you answering All of the questions that people asked over the weekend this morning and you always do a damn good job. I think the majority of us hardcore fans appreciate the time you take to interact with us !! Obviously things can change at any time. It’s ridiculous to hold you to every word you say. That’s why most companies share very little information until a product is completely ready. Following  the progress of this project on a regular basis makes me feel like part of the Intellivision family !! It’s a very unusual and unique experience to share information and progress  about this very special project that you obviously have an incredible passion for.  I appreciate it very much -:)

    Yep!  Correct.  Already confirmed for most games.

    I won’t bother you anymore about local high scores but just to reconfirm , you will have separate high scores for all of the different skill levels ? I know I asked but you are reading so many responses, you might have missed that point.  When high scores are implemented which is rare, they often  have only one  leaderboard for all skill levels and modes  which makes no sense. Examples are if there is easy , hard , multiplayer etc there should be a separate leaderboard for each.  Ok I’ll be quiet now ! Lol . I have just missed having properly done local leaderboards for so long. I can’t remember the game , but there was a game that had high scores and they lumped easy and hard skill level in one leaderboard !!! Pissed me off !! Lol

    yeh also a fan of both Van Halen and Styx.  I hope to see the current lineup of Styx and the separate Dennis DeYoung performing Styx one day.

    btw, Dennis's new album just hit on Sunday.  His new tune is out.  Nice to have a new album out and he is in his 70s.  His voice has not changed a lick.  One of those you know it is him voices like Steve Perry.

    TJ

    I saw Dennis DeYoung twice and Styx once in their current lineups and enjoyed both but Dennis DeYoung played much smaller venues in my area and it was just amazing.

    You mean because of cheating?

     

    :D

     

     

    We were taking about this yesterday and i am 99% sure that it’s because he just doesn’t care about high scores of random people and I feel the same way. There is no fun factor in beating people‘s high scores that you don’t even know. But beating  your family or friends high scores ? Now that’s fun !!

    It's part of our plan for sure.  Not sure if we'll have time to implement it on launch... but it's part of the plan for sure.  If not on launch... by early 2021 probably.

     

     

    But there will be regular local leaderboards at launch right ? On games like moon patrol etc that are based on high score ? And separate leaderboards for each mode and difficulty level ? I know I ask a lot but I know you guys will do it right !  I need to enter my initials and be #1 ! Lol

    YES!  I guess I should have emphasized that it should be for local leader boards only.  I don't care if someone 1000 miles away plays like Billy Mitchell that I have no chance of ever beating.  I want to know what the scores are for the people in my house.

    Exactly which is why I asked and received the answer that most or all games that are based on high scores will include LOCAL leaderboards where you can enter your name /initials. This is a make or break in how much I will play these type of games where it’s really only the high score that matters. Your idea would take local high score competition to the next level !! I don’t understand the fascination with online leaderboards where you don’t even know the person you are beating. There is no incentive for me to beat Joe’s score who lives in Florida ! But online leaderboards will be there for those who enjoy it.
