Even in their statement of facts they admit their primary focus was retro. Now that you posted that, I do remember verifying on the website that they were releasing the the classic games before I sent the $100. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had static/stationary backgrounds with a little animated Jim running. Nothing about it looked like it was running on an Amico and being controlled with a controller. EWJ was a con job to snag extra preorders. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call Tommy's behavior as "passionate" in a way that was actually positive. He was mosly just b.s.'n people and making exaggerating claims to hype up INTV fans. It was just disingenuous behavior on his part and I smelled it a mile away. He thought his name meant more than it really is and that by sheer will alone he could make the Amico successful. I also don't believe the Amico was a decent idea/product. It felt like they were going backwards in the worst way possible. Making all these arbitrarily restrictions and acting like it is a positive thing. No online play, no physical face buttons or proper D-Pad on the controller, E10 rating limit, etc.. The idea was poorly conceived and the person in charge of this project got in way over his head. I will repeat what I said years ago that for whatever reason upset him. "Just because he found success creating music for video games, does not mean he has any idea how to release an actual console." Time has shown who was correct. It certainly wasn’t much of a “secret” then or now, Tommy Tallarico had no business acumen. You possessed a great amount of healthy skepticism and rational thinking. Funny that enraged him…. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think that was a more elaborate way to make them shut up. Also Amico Forever is a stream in which you can talk about Amico never. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWJ was a con job to snag extra preorders. I don't remember them saying it was gameplay. I understood it to be a test animation. Why couldn't the test animation be running on a game engine like Unity. Other than some preliminary design, they said low level development wouldn't even start until after the system releases. That's why the guy in the video said it's not reflective of what the game would be. It would be unfortunate if people preordered the system for this game because, even if the system came out they would have waited a while after that for this game.

Well looks like @MrBeefy just debunked you 😂 Anyways the original video if anyone is interested who hasn't already seen it. The one that Tommy/Intellivison uploaded to YouTube appears to be gone but fortunately others have reuploaded it as well and those are still up. The original Earthworm Jim's didn't even sell a million copies on either the Sega Genesis or SNES (Although they very well of may sold over a million combined between both platforms) Don't get me wrong, it was definitely quite successful and spawned a cartoon and numerous other crap at the time, but it was no Donkey Kong Country, Mario, Sonic, etc. And now over 2 decades later this was supposed to be one of the big heavy hitting, system selling Amico games that'll appeal to the 3 billion casual gamers in the world...?

Yep, it was basically a cartoon animation from the looks of it. Too bad, it would of been a nice game and system seller, unless it was just a family shovelware party game and not a 2d platformer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine. If that was a youtube comment I surely didn't see it. Still, it could be a controllable character in the Unity game engine, e.g. a test animation. But as the guy in the video said that's a long way away from a playable level and not reflective of any game design. Licenses do help sell product but that impact is limited to each license's reach and most likely proportional to its cost. They never had the money to spend on huge licenses. Don't remember them referring to earthworm jim as a heavy hitting system seller either. Fans of the original games may have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt have the money for licenses? Guess they spent too much of the 17 million crowdfunded money on furniture eh? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's was never presented as a "test animation" whatever that is. Just admit you got it wrong and move on for once. You're arguing in bad faith and it's getting old. Also, let's not pretend that they didn't push the announcement of Earthworm Jim to lots of media outlets. In fact, it's the only game announcement they made that was widely covered by the gaming media and non-gaming media alike. 4 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m gonna guess Mr Me would never admit he was wrong with anything Amico related. Mr Beefy showed the proof, Tom said it was gameplay and all he can say is “I don’t remember” Coming from a man who knows the excruciating details of this sordid project, he’s not interested in confirming Tommy is a liar. 2 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
