MattPilz Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) Can we harness the power of AI to see some of the outstanding Amico promises to completion? Here is how AI generated Tommy's Amico. Edited December 18, 2022 by MattPilz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids and young families prefer the Amico Mascot 2 to 1 over any other video game mascot.

Keatah Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 This has gotta be one of the highest talk-to-product ratios I've seen in ages. Maybe ever. Rivaled only by Coleco's Chameleon - at least that one didn't drag on like this. Look. I'm not against the project or anything. But what's really happening here? Is anything actually getting built? Produced? All the talk and steam-blowing and stuff. Shouldn't that energy be directed into making something real? Where's the slippage coming from? I can only imagine this happening in 1979. Imagine 4 generations, nearly a decade, before anything was produced and sold to the public. Imagine the stagnation. Stuff in videogames isn't supposed to work this way. Instead there's supposed to be an announcement, and a few months later a real product appears on the shelf for us to take home. That's how it's been done since the Pong/Tank consoles. I suppose every hobby endeavor gets an example of vaporware from time to time. It's the stuff of legends! What ya'll think? 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll buy the carts since that's the whole point of collecting. In any event it's very effective at keeping new people interested in their games from ever being able to buy/play them. If you miss out on some forum post made at 3AM on a wednesday you can't get a copy of the game. While some Intellivision homebrew publishers limit production of cartridges, Elektronite typically doesn't. For example they printed five hundred sets of overlays for each of their upcoming cartridges, that's much more than they're likely to sell anytime soon. Apparently there's been a problem with cartridge supply the last couple of years. Contact them at elektronite at hotmail.com and ask them directly about any particular title. 6 hours ago, MrBeefy said: Tommy Tall said that the Republic funds would go towards marketing. ...

There will be no Amico. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Which game are you guys going to play on it first when you open it up next Sunday? I'M SO STOKED! I really want to try Astrosmash but I'm really thinking that Skiing will be the best for the day. Since I don't know how many controllers I'll get, I made sure to tell everyone coming over that they need to bring their phones for a "surprise." I hope I have enough controllers, but man, I can't wait! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
