Amico Production Update: It's Go Time!

5. Tapping your controller onto another Amico to share your game library was a pretty cool idea. 💡

@MrBeefy I see what you did there with the animated scrolling numbers in your avatar. You might have to add a 6,7,8,9 sooner or later. The Founders Edition animation was originally created for the user @LePionnier from the defunct Q&A Thread. He had some nifty preconceived notions of a re-imaged Lock 'N' Chase game for the Amico. The Founders Edition patch had two brothers, the VIP and OG Editions.

lol, well played.

I'll take credit for the Shifty Eyed Dealer artwork but that particular image is not my handiwork. Most of the box art t-shirt image scans were of suspect quality. The project was more of a restoration/refurbishing of the original art. You'll notice that the text "Mattel Electronics" was removed citing licensing infringement. I wanted to create a George Plimpton shirt but that would have required permission from his estate which may have proven difficult to procure.

Any and all responses are purely subjective based on each individuals personal views and opinion. There is no right or wrong answer. A+ for imagination and creativity! ?

@Cebus Capucinis Every time I see your avatar it makes me sad. I miss John Candy. My uncle used to live on the same street.

What would you call this one? Loving or mocking?

The HQ Dev-Kit Assembly Photoshop was really a lot of fun to make. The inclusion of a Footbath, J Allard and Prince Harry were late additions. I happen to think Pat & Ian are two rather entertaining individuals. Especially when it comes to their Amico content. I don't know much about Flojomojo. I guess at the time I was late to the party? But, I did read somewhere that he was throwing shade on the Atari VCS with images of his own creation? If you visit the Intellivision Shop you'll see a few old-school box art t-shirt designs. I was a hired-gun to work on those shirts and also had artistic freedom to create a couple of my own ideas. Plus, some other bits and bobs that may never see the light of day.

Art can be subjective. A lot of those said Photoshops were created within the context and flow of a particular forum discussion. Those images (alone and just by themselves without any real context) are often misinterpreted or misconstrued.

I was never made aware that Intellivision was going to use my Photoshops in any marketing emails. For what it's worth, I would have been against the idea. Hence, the answer to your question is a resounding no.

Pete is always hungry to purchase anything and everything that is retro inspired. The unreleased Amico games are NO exception. Stay Classy Pete!

Shhhhhhh!!!
