Intellivision Amico games on CollectorVision Phoenix?

[Flyindrew]

By now we all know what has become of the Intellivision Amico. Im not here to discuss what has gotten Intellivision to this point nor to discuss Tommy (there is plenty of that on Youtube lol). What I was wondering, taking into account Intellivision's financial situation, would it be lucrative for them to sell, produce Amico and or classic Intellivision carts or roms for the Phoenix?

Completely different hardware, OS, controller. It would be a ground-up rewrite. Not to mention the Phoenix has no market whatsoever, so I can't imagine any scenario where it would happen. Cool and fun, perhaps, but not lucrative. Classic intellivsion games if the Phoenix gets an Inty core. I hate to admit it, but the CV controller is probably close enough... or someone could make a Phoenix intellivision controller.

 

I thought I read somewhere Amico games were generally made with Unity, so that would facilitate porting to PC. I'd like to see some of them on Steam or GOG. That's about the best I can hope for.

Games intended for the Amico ported to run on the Atari VCS perhaps?

If Atari buys Intellivision Entertainment, that could actually happen.

This or the Evercade VS, IMHO.

At this point IE should go the route of Atari and do a reimagined series a la the Recharged line.  The Amico itself can have a fork stuck in it now.  It's done.

I'm good on the Intellivision Amico garbage, but what we could really use is a Mattel Intellivision core on the Phoenix.. Now that would be amazing! ?
