What a jerk!!!! More on that in December update? The hidden not hidden thing that is.

No.  We gotta wait til next June at E3 as it's pretty major.

Remind me after that what it is and I'll show you the clues.  It's not obvious unless you know what we're doing exactly.

That's a good one!  But no.... that isn't it.

A camera on the top of the controller.

We will see reactions from people while playing !?

I wonder if that would be seen at odds with the family oriented focus. People are becoming more cautious about privacy these days.

That's a good one also.  But not it.

Thought you would all enjoy this...

 

We are launching a bunch of new merchandise products in our Intellivision store tomorrow. Gonna beat the Black Friday crowd. Will have a 25% off code as well for folks on our Mailing List! Not only will we be including new things like women cut t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, etc. but we will have a total of 4 different designs for everything... including (and introducing)... the Running Man Family!

 

This is great news but how does the discount work at checkout?

You just type in the discount code from the email after clicking “Checkout” on your cart and hit the Apply button.

It could be like amusement park, at certain point in a game a picture is taken ! Nothing is saved on a card. Just for fun while playing ! ?

 

[LePionnier]

 

So that's probably Snafu ! It was one of 10 games that I was enjoying a lot 37 years ago !

 

 

 

I really like the design. And as I see, we will have new challenges, like obstacles and holes !!

Really cool to see this level on a sort of motherboard ! Probably with different levels, that's a nice surprise and really appreciate !

It reminds me of games like micro machine, so levels can take place with different scenery.

 

319 Days to go ...

 

Can we have a picture of horse racing please for Christmas !

Have a nice day everyone.

[LePionnier]

Finally, maybe I found it ...  or not ! ?  lol

For you clue seekers out there - here is another image. This one from the IGN Italy article:

[Blarneo]

The app has 2 extra action buttons on the top. Does the controller?

Nice observation... but that isn't it.  We'll be taking those extra buttons off the controller app actually.  We just had them in as a test for now.

Hmm... there isn't a handle.  That's probably just a chord.

 

Nice guess though!  It does kinda look like a handle.

Nice guess.  But I think that is just a reflection.

That's a cool idea.  Would love to see that in Amico II.

 

But... if people are using their mobiles as controllers... we could do something like that.

 

Hmmm....

Yeah... there are a few different "worlds" for SNAFOO (notice new family friendly spelling). 

I picked the circuit board one for the trailer because....  TRON! 

p.s. BigDummy is our Art Director Mike Dietz.  Hahaha!  He chose the name!

John is our Sr. Software Tech Director and Jeff is one of our Hardware Engineers.

 

 

[+Tommy Tallarico]

For those of you trying to guess what the 2 things are in the photo.  I think it may be difficult as I got a call from Paul today and he asked me what the heck the 2 things were!  And he knows the two things!

When I told him what they are he said.... "Oh!  Yeah... no one is going to guess those."

 

So please don't rack your brains too much.  After E3 you'll come back and say... YOU BASTARD!

As an amateur photographer who used to do it professionally, I kind of resent this current paranoia. We don't spend thousands of dollars on Leica & Nikon rigs just to blackmail, sell to kidnapping rings, revenge porn or spy on people. 

 

Now, hot lesbian animal shots are fair game.😈

Having these details right in front of us yet still not knowing is so unfair 😂
