Be sure to crowdfund multiple times, burn through millions of dollars, and not produce anything. The great Tommy Tallarico told me with his 600 years experience that is how you properly make a game console. I remember him saying, "Don't underestimate me." Boy was he right I totally thought they could make it to market and completely underestimated how much of an idiot he was in running the company. He sure showed me! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 In my 40 plus years of gaming I would say that the Colecovision controller is much easier to deal with than the INTV controller. Although both can be eventually used properly after many hours of gameplay and zillions of resets. That being said I enjoy all systems that were marketed and sold since the 70s that DO EXIST! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not very fond of the Dreamcast anymore and I prefer the planet naming, so I would probably call it Uranus. 🙂 Please insert a game disc in Uranus. Please wait while Uranus is loading... Error! Uranus has stopped working. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_B Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 For "a veritable video game industry icon," who is "one of the most successful video game composers in history," Tommy sure loves using other people's stock music. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not volunteering for this project. It would be interesting to see how many things are directly attributed to Tommy and not Tommy studios. It would also be interesting to see how much of those things are attributed to Thomas V Tallarico than Thomas A Tallarico. After seeing that letter his dad wrote when he was smuggling money, makes me think it wouldn't be surprising if any original stuff was done by his dad. Moby games doesn't distinguish between Tommy and his dad. 🤷 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's 10 songs for "diamondz in the rough" which were written by his dad. Tommy himself only has a couple copyrights registered in his name. The terminator 2 game CD soundtrack, which uses some of his HS band music, is credited to his dad (thomas V). I doubt that was a printing error, and they were crediting the actual author of the music and who registered the copyright. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's that clear. I indeed saw his father's name in each copyright but always associated with an author who is either "Tom Tallarico" or another dude (from his band, probably).

The plot thickens. As far as we know, his father played the accordion but we don't know if he wrote any music. But he indeed copyrighted a lot of his son's music. Even the Terminator soundtrack credits "Thomas V. Tallarico" which is supposed to be his father (the son is Tommy A. Tallarico), so it's very strange, as if he used his father's name as a pseudonym. 46 minutes ago, GoldLeader said: SONY didn't kill SEGA!...SEGA Killed SEGA! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Tron referenced reminded me, you should consider making a VOLTRON game! That might excite some folks in the initial market segment. I figured that I'd throw out a nostalgia-based / license-based game development request, just for old time's sake. Double T is supposed to still be President and Chief Creative Officer, right?

MrBeefy Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Well there was no announcement from Intellivision on Star Wars day, but there was from Atari! Atari now owns old Intellivision 2600 games. I will laugh if they pump out a Recharged Astro Blast before Astrosmash gets ported. I hope Atari remembers to steal World of Tank art for Armor Ambush. It can't be a 7/10 without stealing others work. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/05/04/2661966/0/en/Atari-Announces-Acquisition-of-M-Network-Atari-2600-Titles-and-Related-Trademarks.html 9 hours ago, Cebus Capucinis said: Actually, I think if you go back every few pages you'll find we are, in fact, laser focused.... .....on FCC certs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
