TACODON Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I don't mid this thread getting Amico hijacked from time to time because it really drives home the different approaches these two companies have. It also really drives home the lack of real news or information on the TACO-BOX. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodmot Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Well this is awkward. o w o Apparently Atari DIDN'T delete my comment that I thought they deleted. I just mislocated it. = w = LOL! Still, doesn't take away the fact of everything that's going on though. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCAT Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) I dont belive this, I just watched the trailer for Ghostbusters Afterlife, My childhood dreams of being a ghostbuster, that means filming has wrapped up yet Atari in that same time cannot even get a freaking Demo trailer working for a POS retrobox. (and no I do not count that 2016 Ghostbusters as canon, as far as I cam concerened it should be SHOT out of a cannon, into the sun) Edited December 9, 2019 by OCAT 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TACODON Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 @Lodmot I just read through the IGG comments and those folks are delusional clowns. I don't get why you keep trying to talk sense into them. They are hateful and ignorant of all the facts except what Faux-Tari tells them. I am shocked more of the clowns from the Facebook page don't hang put there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had actually been thinking that it would be funny for the Amico to start licensing and releasing old Atari properties like Marble Madness and 720 that Atari SA doesn't own anymore (which could also feed a good antagonistic ad campaign), but I didn't the Amico to actually be licensing properties that Atari SA currently owns! I would have thought that Atari would think of the Amico as a key competitor. Atari would need to have a product in order to have a competitor. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBeefy Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 7 hours ago, Tommy Tallarico said: I'll just go ahead and leave this here... Intellivision® is proud to show off its exclusive version of Atari®'s Breakout® only available on the Intellivision Amico™ console launching 10.10 2020. Although the game will start off in original "vertical mode", it won't take long to utilize the full 16:9 aspect ratio and turn things sideways. Part "block buster" and part 2D side scrolling shooter, you’ll only have a limited amount of time to get to the goal and BREAKOUT! Will the player in the trailer make it to the end on time? They have 4 minutes to complete the task. Players can utilize the vertical touchscreen to control the paddle and (as seen in the trailer) can use motion controls (once a ball is hit) to angle, aim, spin and curve in the direction that you'd like the ball to go! And don't forget, we'll also be adding multi-player couch co-op and versus modes as well! 6 hours ago, Tommy Tallarico said: I have 12 of the biggest Atari games that we are re-imagining and doing exclusively for Amico. Lets just say.... Fred owed me a big favor. I will be honest and say Breakout doesn't get me excited but this version of Breakout does look fun and neat. So like did you all help them get their box to boot? Maybe show them how to plug it into a wall amd hit the power switch? Give advice on their OS? Gave up your place in line at manufacturing so they might have a shot of getting them out before New Year? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) brickout, which was the first video game I can remember playing at home, and based on woz's desire to play breakout on a software defined home computer, is one of the games I will always play ... but in 2019 its a little had to be excited about as a money grabber (especially since I have ported it or replicated it on every computer like platform that has come my way over the decades) it does look fun and neat though Edited December 10, 2019 by Osgeld 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidence? ...or perks of being the CEO? In fact, FYI, Tommy Tallarico is an anagram of Totally Mr. Amico. So I think that settles it.

I guess this means this thread will grow about 10 pages today with useless trolling comments about how the Atari VCS console is vaporware and that Atari SA is out to screw over all the backers. That and an endless amount of 5th grade taco jokes. Yeppers, it is going to be a fun day here in ths thread ?.

Flojomojo Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Sounds like this might not be the thread for you, @Tidus79001 New slogan: "They call it hardware because it's hard!" Believe it when you see it: In the meantime, backers should keep an eye open for the moment when the icon at the top of the Indiegogo page switches from “Prototype” to “Production.” Right now, we can’t and won’t designate a specific day and time this will happen, and even though we are technically in “production” based on Indiegogo’s definition, we have elected to hold off and use that designation to officially indicate the time when we are finally into true mass production. That’s going to be a great day and it’s coming soon! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBerel Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Atari VCS is not vaporware....look right there......it's still the nicest little nightlight ever. So we all recently learned that no news is good news, so why are the usual fanboys getting excited? Atari just told them this is a bad sign. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
