    UPDATE: (We work QUICK around here!)

     

    The rights are owned by Daedalic Entertainment who is based in Hamburg.  They are very good friends of our European president Hans and have been asking him to create games for Amico.

     

    We have a meeting with them on Monday.

     

    BOOM!!

    :)

     

    Hey Tommy, don’t forget to have Hans reach out to the guy who created Disc Golf Valley. That would be EPIC to have a disc golf game on the Amico!!!

    Hey Tommy, I mentioned this in Pete’s podcast yesterday to you and want to mention it again here. Michael Mullis was pretty adamant about having the release of original Intellivision games at launch and I agree with you that it could send a message that the Amico Is just another retro flashback console. 
     

    However, wouldn’t it be something that every reimagined Intellivision game came with the original game and it could only be unlocked by performing a certain achievement?  For example, if you kill the final boss in the reimagined Astrosmash, you will unlock the original Astrosmash!
     

    Wouldn’t THAT be something????

    Cool.  Been reading about the guy who made it.  Looks like a one man show.  Will have Hans reach out as he is based over there.

    Tommy, sounds like he is open for programmers to reach out to him:

     

    ”

    UDisc: Is there anything else you wanted to add?

    Wahlstedt: Yeah. If anyone out there with any kind of programming experience or who's even just interested in learning wants to help me with this, just reach out*. I'm really open to collaboration.

    *You can reach Per Wahlstedt by e-mail at [email protected]”

     

    I really hope Hans does this. I think this would be HUGE for the Amico!  Again, disc golf is the world’s fastest growing sport!

    Yeah.... definitely the type of game that we want on Amico for sure.  Especially with the motion controls and co-op.  It's on the list.

     

    Question:  Does anyone know if there is already a Disc Golf game out there?  Steam?  Switch?  Mobile?  If so (and it's a good game), I could have our folks reach out to them and maybe accelerate the process.

     

     

    Tommy, download Disc Golf Valley on your phone and play it. It is freaking awesome and would be PERFECT to have this or something similar on the Amico!!!!!  It is made with the Unity engine. 

     

    It is AMAZING!!!  Disc golf on the Amico.... now wouldn’t THAT be something?!??!?!?

    I think it needs to be said that Tommy needs to hire you CurlyQ. Your attention to detail is freaking INCREDIBLE!  Did anyone notice E.T. holding the Atari joystick?  What about the Running Man on one of the Jawas?  Do you see the Utopia Rebel?  Again, amazing work. I’m am beyond impressed. Tommy needs you to do ALL the box cover art for the Amico!!!

    An amazing board game to add to the list would be Big Trouble in Little China. It's out of print now. A good way of preserving some of these.  https://www.everythingepic.us/big-trouble-in-little-china

     

    On that same preserving note: If you create a game that has been around for a while, maybe you can have the multiple versions. For instance: The board game Mouse Trap from the 70's/80's is different than the current version. It would be neat to see an evolution of the game. Same with Life. Monopoly. Sorry.. ETC. Even if it's just a graphical change. 

     

    I had already given my vote for Dark Tower a while back. (Both old and new versions).

     

    I remember Dark Tower!  That was fun. Brigands, gold, and loved killing with the sword!

    A little fun for your Thursday...

    It's been teased this week that Sega will be dropping a revolutionary announcement on June 4th...wouldn't it be something if they were jumping on the Amico bandwagon?  
     

     

    I seriously doubt the announcement has anything to do with the Amico. Why?  Because we all know Tommy can’t keep a secret THAT big to himself!  😂

    @Tommy Tallarico regarding motion controlled games, is disc golf on the list of games to be made for the Amico?  If so, any idea if it's a 2020 or 2021 release?  I play this with friends and it would be great to have a motion controlled video game to play on those rainy days where we can't get out on the course.  Thanks for all you are doing to bring back the Intellivision into modern gaming!

    I’ve said this to him before. It’s not in the immediate future but it sure would make great use of motion controls. Disc golf is the fastest growing sport and I’m sure it will reach the Amico eventually. I play the mobile app Disc Golf Valley quite a bit and if Tommy would play a few minutes of this, he would be hooked and on board for disc golf to come to the Amico sooner than later!

    TOTALLY!!  That is one thing that no one will ever need to worry about with most Amico games.  The lack of easter eggs and fun unlockable or later level surprises!

     

    I kind of gave a little bit of a hint with our Night Stalker video.  How many people were expecting to see what they did when they entered LEVEL 2.  Could have easily just changed the outlay and design of the map for the next level.  But our approach is more like Donkey Kong.  Same mechanics... but what the heck is the next level objective going to be like? 

    This is great to hear!  Glad you mentioned same mechanics. Donkey Kong is another example of a game where I was pleasantly surprised. I got pretty good at playing it and had no idea there was a fourth different screen. Found out about it in the arcade while friends were watching Me play and it freaked everyone out!

    Interesting fact:  Elon Musk is a huge Intellivision fan and he had one growing up.

     

    Whose ready for...


    Space X Armada
    Space X Battle

    Space X Hawk

    Star Strike X

    Space X Spartans

     

    ...and of course...

     

    Mission X X

     

    Add one more X and we'll be able to publish it on the Switch!

    KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    :)

     

     

    You know Tommy, Space Armada was one of my top five Intellivision favorites. I thought I was pretty good at that game until I recently watched a YouTube video gameplay of it. I never knew that later in the game the red spaceship at the top of the screen actually comes down and eats away at your bunkers!  These are the types of things I love about the old Intellivision. Even though you think you have mastered a game, there was always something more to some of them. A couple more examples are Night Stalker with the invisible robot when you get to 80,000 points and with Tron Deadly Discs and the orange men with paralyzing sticks when you reach 1,000,000 points. I really hope the Amico games will have this type of bonus, reward, Easter egg, whatever you want to call it for those who really excel at playing.

    I'm starting to think that since you have a whole bunch of cool things to drop between retailer announcements, licensing deals, gameplay videos, playable demos, new merch, and many other things that maybe you need to move to a Monday AND Friday release schedule. Just sayin. 😎

    Hey Tommy!  I have two ideas that you NEED to implement!

     

    1) Mic Drop Monday’s — every Monday leading up to the release of the Amico you announce your big mic drop announcements!!!

     

    2) Founder’s Edition Friday’s — via email, send the people who preordered the Founders Edition a little piece of information, game play videos, or anything that you have not previously shared as a thank you for preordering.

    Man you made my day, thanks for doing that.  It still astounds me people are so nice to me...lol... I guess if you try to put out good vibes people return them.  I will be silent for a bit working on a bonusode while I work!

    Pete, keep up the great work!  That’s awesome that Tommy bought a shirt from you. I always enjoy your Amico videos and BONUSODES!  Can’t wait to see Tommy rocking the OEB swag in his next interview with you!

    The problem is that the "clues" he dropped don't add up to anyone. He said it was a person on a very specific list, and none of them fit the criteria... except maybe J.  Then of course Tommy let it be known he was intentionally misleading. J does fit the description the best, and it would definitely be a mic drop moment. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

    I must have missed the part where Tommy let it be known he was intentionally misleading and I’m not questioning that as I do believe you. You are right that no one else fits the criteria given the clues so I don’t see how it could be anyone else other than J. If it is indeed J, I would be very happy with the new addition but I would be disappointed that we were purposely lied to.

    I’m going to go out on a limb here and say today’s announcement is not J Allard. Why?  I just don’t think Tommy would say the following if it was:

     

    ”Wouldn't That Be Something™?

    Hahahha!! 

    Damn... that would be epic!!  Imagine!  The guy who got Microsoft on the internet, created XBOX, XBOX Arcade, XBOX 360! (and Zune)

     

    And although J is a friend... it's unfortunately not J.

    :(

     

    I really don’t think he would say this if it was indeed him. I think we are all going to be in a shock when the announcement hits. Whether it is J Allard or someone else, I think we are all going to be saying, “Now isn’t that something?”

     

    Looking forward to the announcement Tommy!
