Bonus points for a “marketing” anecdote. Sideswipers isn't finished yet, so the sky's the limit for that one. But this lame Atari game is virtually finished so "what you see is what you get" with not a lot of room for improvement. In another 10 years, when AI and 1 more track is added to Sideswipers, it'll be exactly the game that umpteen billions of people in our focus groups have been clamoring for. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheColecoDude Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) Sideswipers is better because as it's just a short, single, very basic track looping over and over, you fall into a state of unconsciousness where it hypnotizes you into thinking that it's great and therefore imagining you're having more fun.

Wayler Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I'm also stealing that idea for the cornhole song: It's early access, the cult comes out Last update was shaky and years in doubt My phone is purring, it scratches my skin So what is wrong with another spin? John is hungry, he needs to tell So give him praises and feed him well More days to come, new excuses to go I've got to leave, it's time for a throw Here I am Bag you like a cornhole 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I have an idea for a new game system! It's Android based. Programmers: Urr, NVidia couldn't even pull that off and nobody wants to program for Android. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_B Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I just picked up a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, and that's an Android-based system. It arrived in under a week, so comparisons with the Amico would have to end there. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its always nice seeing hardware that actually releases and isn't attached to some braggadocious doofus hung up on achievements that we later find out they didn't actually do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Loguidice Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 This is of course good news for classic gaming fans as I believe the current Atari regime, post-VCS, are excellent stewards, but what I REALLY can't wait for is how the Amico superfans spin this. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well now we can no longer call it Intellivision Amico. Gotta rebrand this thread name as well. To be honest I'd much rather play INTV games on a modern Atari system than the Amico or Amico home app. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
