Silverbot #26778 Posted January 11 Don’t know if anybody remembers the Konix Multi System that never came out, I think the idea of it was ahead of its time. I would love to see something like that on Amico, love the way you can make it into different types of controls. This video is so 80s, does make me chuckle. 👍😀 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Intellivision Master #26780 Posted January 11 I think Tommy said there would be a new Amico video every week. It would be nice to have one every day. Lol. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the first time I've seen that particular video though 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cyrus gets to it 1st and will become a rich rich rich man! I posted this last week. Don't smirk.. just do... and great things will happen.

[email protected] #26785 Posted January 12 I don't know if y'all remember this. But I think Tommy did say that there was going to be an article about the Amico in the AARP magazines for December, January. Has anyone seen it or what happened to that ? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inflation adjusted US-Console Launch Prices in July 2020 Behold the glory of the Neo Geo AES. At least the AES Gold System got you a second controller and a pack-in game! It would suck if you got Magician Lord since that's only single player! Still, it wasn't a bad deal if you consider that it was probably the single most powerful arcade machine in the entire world when it was released, and I do believe it's more powerful than even stuff like the X68000, which cost about $3000. Not bad for $650. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This video is so 80s, does make me chuckle. 👍😀 You can never have too many sampled orchestra hits and cheap drum machines in 80's music! The idea of a controller that does multiple things "all-in-one" is definitely something we've been talking about and designing on paper. I think it's a fantastic idea. Would need a lot of games that could utilize it to make it feasible... so probably an idea like this would be 3 or 4 years down the road. Thanks for posting that video! I had never seen that before! We have a similar type of "all-in-one" controller in the office... I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head, but it did a lot of the same things... but just as a controller. Will need to get the name of it next time I'm in the office and post it here. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Over 40 years later... the new Intellivision is launching at $249 with 6 games! Imagine that. And for $50 less than the original console, you get 6 games. Of course the FE is $300 but you get extra goodies to make it worth the higher cost. Plus having the $50 RFID gift card included with the FE is really awesome. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IntelliMission #26798 Posted January 12 (edited) You're missing the jewel in the crown: The magnificent CD-i, initially priced around $1,000 in 1991 (equivalent to $1,877 today). Interestingly and sadly enough, I have never touched a NES, Master System or Saturn, but I distinctively remember trying a CD-i in a computer shop with my dad. How many consoles have you tried from each row? Here's my chart: 0-1-2-3-2-0 Edited January 12 by IntelliMission 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
