I wonder if Tommy still sends Curly's photoshops to Disney?

Yeah no joke I think I've seen examples of projection from Tommy more than anyone else. Literally everything he accuses others of doing/being is actually something that applies to him.

Thomas the Tallarico Engine doing something shady and making money from someone elses work???

You're gonna have to get grandma a physics textbook before she can play Cornhole.

Yeah. Tommy once said that showing the games off doesn't do them any favours because people say they look like crappy mobile games. Well... that's one thing he was actually correct about! The gameplay videos shown look so comically boring and lackluster I'm rather disappointed none of the big gaming sites got their hands on any to review.

Yeah, you can see it in the screenshot posted above by rayik.

"Night Stalker is one of the few Amico games I would sometimes play in my spare time just for fun" Way to admit the others games aren't fun and you don't want to play them, John.

But Tommy doesn't lose! He said so himself!

He did the same with some other pictures. He posted this picture of him being a "Hall of Fame inductee"... See how the left is mysteriously cropped? That's because it contains the fantasy camp logo 🤣

In the investor pitch and on the "Awards" section on his website - https://www.tallarico.com/awards

If you look up a game Tommy claims to have composed for, pretty much every time there will be at least someone elses name there along side his, or just completely someone else. He seems to have just taken credit for everything. The fact that he used stock music in Amico games (every game actually released so far has had all stock music) says everything about his composing career and capabilities IMO. A famous and prolific video game composer running a video game console company, but not composing any music for the games? Very strange. You'd think that he would be delighted to make music for his "babies". Don't forget on many occasions he claimed to be doing music for Amico games, so another set of lies from him.

This was in response to someone asking why they need to seek funding from new investors to manufacture controllers after raising $17 million dollars and where that money had gone. You know you're a very legit company with nothing to hide when someone asking about your business is a big no-no.

You know you've made a nice simple game when you need an illustrated guide on how to hold the controller.

The person who posted that video (who is also a member of AtariAge and was a regular poster in the big Amico thread) once took part in a stream where he brought a woman (who was also on the stream) to tears by shouting and talking shit to her because she dared interact with the "haters". It was so bad that the next day, the guy who hosted the stream, Retro Bro, had to make a separate video addressing it. The person who did all this was someone that Tommy openly supported, doing stuff like helping him upgrade his pre-order to a founders edition. Tommy literally supported and encouraged his little middle aged weirdos to behave like this. Once a 14 year old boy did a video where he was critical about Amico, and a bunch of Tommy's gang (including the man above) rushed to his video to leave comments telling him how he was wrong and calling him names, Another Amico fan admitted this in a video. he said that the fans were encourages to "not be friends" with people if they said things Tommy didn't like, were told to block people, go and leave comments etc. It all sounds totally insane, but that's what Tommy had the fans doing. Edit: Oh and since DJC was mentioned , there was that time he publicly showed what he was really like... 😳

Hey who wouldn't prefer to take advice from grown men who literally tell you that they love you over and over.

Information that's come out in the last year or so has shown that most (or possibly all) of the Earthworm Jim music was done by other people. And some of the music used in the game were just existing midis taken from elsewhere that Tommy used. Finding games that Tommy actually composed music for seems to be getting harder and harder to find.

Also here's a selection (not all, just some of) things Tommy said he was "in talks" for/with -

It is

He's doing it to fund production! Tommy is pulling through for the fans!

One of the remaining fans might stick a game out to support the company or whatever other reasons support their delusions, but outside of that no sane developer would develop any games for Amico Home or take the time or effort to put any on there.

And he will then claim that he invented Adobe Flash.

Tommy was blatantly lying about most of the licenses and "partnerships" he claimed to have. The majority of games/franchises suggested to Tommy both on AtariAge and in his Youtube streams/interviews, Tommy responded by saying that they either had it or were "in talks" to get it. Simply cased on nothing more than the sheer amount of times Tommy said it, it was clearly not true. Fans even noticed that Tommy was somehow magically on top of every single suggestion, but didn't think anything of it... When they did the event at the Crayola place Tommy announced it by saying they had "partnered" with Crayola (and included the Crayola logo in the Start Engine page in the "partnerships" section), yet someone contacted Crayola themselves who said that was not the case and that they do not do "partnerships". All they did was pay their fee to host an event there, which literally anyone can do, and Tommy claimed that they and Crayola were partners. Tommy hugely exaggerated or just flat out lied about every single possible aspect of Amico. It seems to be a problem that Tommy's had for many years. Telling the truth is something Tommy clearly forgot how to do (or just lost interest in doing) a long time ago.

The fun thing about that archive is that you can click almost any page at random and you're almost guaranteed to find at least one lie or weird rant from Tommy.

Before Tommy came along AtariAge was just bleeps and bloops.
