I'm sure that even the underwhelming hardware in the Amico would be up to the job of running it. The problem is rather that there's no way Intellivision could make such a game without f**king it up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you watch the Battle Tank fiasco. They totally can Tallarico something up, and history shows they will. Once something has been tallaricoed it can't be undone. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number6 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 @thread Those of you who follow this thread carefully regarding the legal paperwork required to be filed might recall this: IE was given 3 months to either (1)give a valid address for their business or (2)file an extension (only 1 allowed in this case) to delay filing this valid required business address for an additional 3 months. Failure to file/comply would have resulted in abandonment of IE's trademark for "Intellivision Amico". You'll all be thrilled to know that IE's new attorney did, in fact, file on time and also received a response. Response to office action (IE to uspto) and the reply Amendment & Mail Processing Complete Any questions? #6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just full of it all around. But look at who the CEO was and if the rest were with him then they are just as bad. 🤣 Now they can focus on those FCC, CE, HDMI, microSD, and R-NZ certs! Well assuming they want to put out hardware. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well assuming they want to put out hardware. I found several remarks interesting. Yes, the attorney tripled down on blaming the global pandemic. But he's "new" and I suggest he was told "what" to include in their excuse. Also interesting the classification of IE as a "virtual business". Also interesting was that all mail is going to the mail drop and picked up by the attorney. Quote Applicant has adopted its present address on record, as the address for official and business correspondence moving forward at least until further notice This would mean that anyone writing to IE's listed address and thinking it was reaching someone at IE, is clearly mistaken. I suggest that given the above statement, mail is being screened by the attorney before filing, forwarding, whatever. Therefore, anyone not receiving a response from the company to mail sent to this address should be aware that their mail might not be seen by the company. #6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBeefy Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 In case anyone was wondering Break Out for the Amico is dead and never coming out. Anyone want speculation as to why it's not done? I'm guessing they never got paid for the work they did. Tommy probably promised them something if they could provide a demo and didn't pay. I know they told other people they would pay them $500 for their music and never paid up. I'd almost be willing to bet not much was paid out unless it was paid for by a Bavarian grant. Honestly I also wouldn't be surprised if that's partially how BBG got the rights to those Intellivision games. BBG probably met all their milestones and completed their games (Since they are both "physical releases" they SHOULD be done) and Intellivision didn't come through with their end of the agreement. You get to wash away what you owe us, and get a few bucks, but we get Astrosmash and Shark Shark. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBeefy Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 If anyone was excited about the idea of Contra on Amico there is a good little game in the style of Super C on sale.

MrBeefy Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Shawn said: Showing up at $2.48 for me as well. Yeah looks like it's a secret sale triggered by owning one of their other games. It shows up as $2.48 for me until I go to it's page. Others show as full price until I go to specific pages. Let's see I own Moon Rider which looks good but haven't played/beat it. *Edit* just started playing. Kind of a MegaMan type game. It's okay so far, but could use a little polishing. Super Cyborg was a good Contra clone. Bridge Strike is a River Raid clone. It's okay but not great. It filled my River Raid fix. Breathing Fear was a neat survival horror game. A lot of trial and error and dying. Can be frustrating, but has good atmosphere considering the game style. Swordbreaker = Choose your own adventure books in video game format. Once done you will probably never go back. But if you like the CYOA books you may like it. Aborigenuis is a simple platformer and easily a skippable buy. I haven't got to really play Drawgeon, but I like the style and Tardy seems to be a point and click type game that I haven't delved into.
