No.

 

I can tell you a few that were on "the list" though.

 

Intellivision Spark

Intellivision Quest

Intellivision Prism

 

 

 

i'm pretty sure the Intellivision Cube would have also made the list had that not been taken already.

Ah!  Yes. 

 

That's it!  Thanks!

 

 

 

 

that's strange. i thought it was, "you never know?"; or... "they're still apprehensive about the whole signing your name in blood thing."  i can't remember which.

No.  Lots of reasons why that is.  Consumer confusion, complexity vs. our home menu and budget to execute are just a few reasons.

 

We've spoken about possibly making some games totally FREE for a day though!  So (in my eyes)... even better.

Nothing solid yet though.

 

 

 

well how about like a quick fifteen second trailer then? something to let us know what we're committing ourselves to buying? i mean... back in the day we could at least look at the images on the box art to give us an idea of what the game was like.

The one thing that makes me iffy about the mug is the temperature color change. I often put mugs in the microwave to heat up my lukewarm coffee.

 

How does that effect that color changing thing?

well the website specifically says not to put it in the microwave as it can damage the mug's coating.

I just filled one to the top then poured into a measuring cup...11 practical oz, 12 if you like playing with danger and having hot liquid spill over the side if you disturb the air around it  

 

grazie.

I just received a code for 25% off merchandise today,but I didnt see anything else new in the store yet.

Is there any word on that?

Regardless,as I have been purchasing items in small waves,

 

have you bought a coffee mug? the website says they're eleven oz, but they look much, much bigger than that. i'd like to know cuz i've been holding off on getting one because i usually prefer mugs to be 15oz.

New World Order bitches!!!   Amico is coming for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

it must have been quite the headtrip when you first found out how the world really works, and the underbelly lurking beneath the shadows that really controls it all. i've often wondered how people can just go on with their daily routine, and just continue to live out their lives and do their own thing like no big deal after being exposed to the truth like that? i mean... i'm sure you're totally used to it by now; but at first it must have felt like how wesley snipes said in the movie blade: "You better wake up. The world you live in is just a sugar-coated topping. There is another world beneath it. The real world!" And that totally must have discombobulated you and crumbled your reality for a while. But then again... maybe not. some people are just so full of ambition and greed that they can easily shake things off like that; and just nonchalantly move on with their lives knowing they made the big time and are gonna get paid and live the life of their dreams. But, still... initially... it must have been like this gigantic elephant in the room whenever you hanged out with your cousin from that point on. like... you want to talk about it... knowing he knew all along... but you can't. knowing that even the slightest whisper could very well cost you your life.

We'll have a complete list of ALL available physical media up on our website (and where they will be available).  Will be very helpful for the folks looking to complete everything.

 

will we have the option to purchase "all available physical media" directly from the website as well, or will such media be strictly reserved for certain retailers?

Although this isn't true in my case, I saw this and just had to share!

 

Hope this helps to turn some frowns upside down!

 

yeah... our parents knew nothing about agenda 21 and the new world order. at the time such knowledge was only reserved for luciferian sell outs; which is why the only people you see infected with corona are on television. meanwhile, hospitals all around the world are completely empty.

With that much anger ? Because so far they gave only Atari 2600 vault coming that I know of and the console is more expensive than Amico. With Amico it’s personal at this point. It would not be possible for an unbiased review from them at this point. 

 

atari doesn't pose a viable threat to nintendo.

they shoulda had some barry white sounding dude do the "amico" voice.

You're waiting for a train; a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you can't be sure. But it doesn't matter - because we'll be together.

 

the tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fall-out. there are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices - to be found only in the minds of men. And the pity of it is.. that these things cannot be confined to the twilight zone.

I don't have any inside knowledge about these mysterious features we haven't been told about but the new logo and the little kid's voice saying Amico had me thinking.

 

Tommy also said the Amico means friend and he wants the console to have personality. 

 

What if it HAD A personality?

 

What if you turn it on and the controller has two eyes and a mouth and says "hello"

 

What if it asks you if you'd like to play.

 

What if you turn it on a week later and it says it misses you cause you didn't play for a while.

 

It could even recommend turning it off if you are playing too long. "Let's take a break friend.  We can have fun together tomorrow. "

 

It could literally walk you through the menu and how to select games.

 

Maybe you could change the voice to 3 or 4 presets. 

 

Just a thought.

anyway to shut that off? i don't need some blade runner virtual avatar thing trying to seduce me every time i turn on the machine; nor do i need it to implant suggestions in my mind and tell me how to think.

as someone who's been very much looking forward to this system from its very inception, i must admit that the fire of my enthusiasm was a bit waned when i first saw the cartoonish, cel-shaded graphics from the original reveal trailer last year. i was actually hoping for something a bit more pixelated in the spirit and fashion of an old 80's arcade room. But, nevertheless, it wasn't the end of the world, and i was pretty much like, ok... whatever. i still ordered the founders'. But then the most recent trailer showed us an infinitesimal glimpse of the conceptual design for AD&D, and i was like... that. THAT! That right there! is exactly what i was hoping for! that RAW!, UNFILTERED, geometric, arcade art style that resonates in its pure, aesthetic simplicity, and which captures the very quintessence of a video game's soul, marrow, and constitution; And which instantly precipitates a myriad of connotations that revolve around all the warm feelings associated with old pizza parlors, familial bonding, and the cascade of disparate yet mellifluous sounds emanating from the back quadrant of a hotel lobby located on the las vegas strip.

you say it's unpolished. that it's a work in progress that still needs to be refined. well... i say it's PERFECT! i say it's perfect precisely because it *IS* so unpolished; And because it lacks that gaudy, soulless, white-washed, empty veneer of the modern era. i understand you don't want to give the general crowd any misgivings or wrong impressions about what this machine is and is not; But, hopefully... you'll leave just a few of these games in this beautiful, pristine, and undefiled state in order to cater to those of us who still know how to appreciate the savor of an undercooked steak without the need to drown it in barbecue sauce.
