What total and complete BS. Almost everything the transparent man said was not true.

I'm so confused. I've followed the Amico and I know Amico games can only be fully experienced with the unique Amico controller. Amico games are exclusive to the Amico console. Nintendo only makes family unfriendly systems. How can this exist? Must be a deliberate blooper to trip up the haters https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/shark-shark-switch/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2410640/SHARK_SHARK/ https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/shark-shark/9p052x824t3t

False. Amico Console allowed you to connect your cell phones as a controller. IE never said this was limited to certain games. IE never said the games would be modified to use the Cell Phone controller. IE never said the games would not run the same using a Cell Phone as a controller.

It just hit me. Amico Home requires two phones for someone to play a single player game. One phone for the screen and another for the controller. What a cobbled together mess! Reddit folks have pointed out previously that the Amico Console OS was an APK loaded onto Android. So Amico Home is most likely that same APK sideloaded onto an Android phone. That's why you need a second phone with the controller app in order to play a game. No work done at all on the APK. So the Amico experience now is: Android cell phone based Amico console not needed for couch coop play Amico controller not needed Not simple to use Great job IE!!!

Amico Home was demonstrated. From what I remember TT saying: Couch coop play cannot be done with mobile gaming on cell phones Amico controller is necessary to get the full Amico game experience Amico console is simple to use - grandparents can set up Amico console is not an Android box So what is Amico Home: At least three smart android smart phones are needed for couch coop play. One phone is the screen for all players. Then each player uses their phone to load the Amico controller app. Controllers and Phone with game screen must be on same wifi network to connect If you want to play on a big screen, you have to either cast or connect by HDMI the "screen" phone to a TV So Amico Home is the exact opposite of what TT was promoting the Amico to be. And in the demo video, they could not get a phone with a controller app to pair with the "screen" phone. They gave up and never talked about it.

I’m not asking the developer anything. If you want to contribute something to the conversation you could ask and let folks know what the developer says.

it's clear this is simply a port of their Wii Ware game Dart Frenzy. Same aiming graphic, same game graphics (bullseye). Another Amico exclusive!

That just does not look good to me. I don’t understand why the board is so small when aiming. Would have expected a zoom in to aim, then back out for strength of toss. Or at least the board being bigger. As it is, the target is tiny and nothing else in the environment matters.

Sometimes the simple answer is the correct answer. Games are not released on Amico Home because the games are not done. This simple answer makes sense when the released videos are just short takes.

If you haven’t yet done do , look at a Mister setup. Really versatile with large number of consoles, old computers and arcade games. Can get adapters and use original OG controllers for the popular old systems. I’ve found it so good that I’ve put away all my old rgb modded consoles, switch boxes and upscaler and just use the Mister

Shows how totally non-family friendly this is.

I never really understood how Amico's dice or card games would be appealing. They had no online play. Everyone had to be in the same room to play. If you are in the same room, why wouldn't you just take out some dice or a pack of cards? Never made sense why one would fire up the Amico. These two articles on Giantbomb have some good insight into why that might be. The lack of types of games and genres in the promised Amico library point toward it being a scam from early on. I examined the Amico's proposed library and it made it even clearer that there was never a real plan.

Family friendly! Kids can play the game during the days. Mom and dad can play at night! Perfect for all ages!!

Yes, agree 100%. All TT had to was say our original price target was $149 - $179 but as we developed the console we realized it had to be priced higher. There may be grumbling that the price has gone up, but the discussion will be about the console and not about liars, haters ad nauseam.

There is a difference between an IPO and selling the entire company. The Intellivision dec does not discuss IPO. Again you did not answer the question as to what personal experience you have with this. Your lack of an answer is an answer.

Thread has over 300k views. Congrats @MrBeefy

@Flojomojo @MrBeefy You both just don’t understand. IF what I am ASSUMING is TRUE then I BELIEVE what I believe. On top of that someone once SAID something which can be used to support my ASSUMPTIONS and OPINIONS. Now this is clear.

In a vacuum this sounds like the ravings of a deranged person. But in reality these were repeatedly said by TT as to why they would succeed and any criticisms were wrong.

@82-T/A It's long, but read the archive of Tommy Tallarico's original Amico thread here at Atari Age. It's been made non-public here at AA and you have to go to offsite to find a backup of most of it. You be surprised at the behavoirs of TT and supporters of the Amico thread. As you read TT's post, remember this is being marketed as a "family friendly" console targeted at mothers and young families to play with their kids. Link: https://amicoage.neocities.org There are more sites that provide a better synopsis of what occurred I used to spend a lot of time on the Jaguar forum and remember you as a regular there was did not troll.

... Never mind

Pencil eraser to the mylar sheet and black button contacts. Buttons will work for a while. Then use the eraser again when they stop working again. Can't get any cheaper than this!

How in the world would anyone making a family friendly video game console approve of their "insiders" putting stuff like this out on the internet?

@MrBeefy Where does the Amico talk start?
