They're just charging $15 now so they can claim it's a 90% discount when they do. Slapping Tommy's name on there like they did makes me less inclined to buy it even if it's a buck or two. 😂 I wonder if this was one of the games they had a contest for? One of these days nirmix's NDA should be up and he can maybe talk about that in more detail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Just ran across this online, and thought it would be nice to see in the realm of Intellivision Amico and some of its enablers. 1. An expression of regret — this, usually, is the actual "I'm sorry." 2. An explanation (but, importantly, not a justification). 3. An acknowledgment of responsibility. 4. A declaration of repentance. 5. An offer of repair. 6. A request for forgiveness. I'd really like to see @Tommy Tallarico and maybe @jaybird3rd take a shot at this. No excuses or deflection, but a real, honest apology. I doubt it's coming, because it would mean they would have to acknowledge doing some not-so-nice things, but if they tried, lots of people would listen. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have less problems with this than most. It is a glorified Retron77 with a cart dumper. At least the Flashbacks didn't attempt to act like it was something it wasn't. I don't see the point in plugging in a cart just to emulate something. Remove the cart slot, lower the price, and sell me ROMs. The problem with that is they can't sell carts which will cost more than doing the ROM thing. But what do I know? @Tommy Tallarico said to not underestimate him, and he's totally shown that me and other people have no clue. On 9/20/2023 at 7:37 PM, Matt_B said: Apparently not.

It's time for that friendly reminder that you can buy a game from Steam and get a full refund if you've played it for less than two hours.

I finally watched the playthrough. It isn't worth $15 IMO. I have zero nostalgia for Intv or Shark Shark. My interest in this device was mainly for family gaming. I've passed on better value games at $5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the full photo, it seems to make him higher than the opponent he's facing. I suspect it's nothing more than another weird "power" move in a series of them. Or maybe it's just a goof. It's impossible to know with him. He's an "unusual" personality for sure. Side note, and not to suck the fun out of the room, but I admit to having some fatigue with Tallarico bashing. If he just acted reasonably normal during his time at Intellivision Productions, or it was another person who acted like a person at his level is supposed to, I don't think we'd have even a quarter of the ridicule/vitriol. He obviously brought this upon himself by being an absolute jackass (and more) at the "height" of Amico, but I feel that perhaps it's time to move on? Or will this stop once the "entity" behind Amico, Intellivision Productions, throws in the towel? (surely, that has to be relatively soon) Mike Kennedy is a punchline and person non-grata in the community, but I feel like his case was more of a person being in over their head rather than purely intentional, and I don't think most people want or wanted his life ruined. Maybe the Tallarico thing is a person with issues of his own who did things on a larger scale, with the caveat that we don't really know what was intentional ill-will or simple personality disorder and gross mismanagement. Knowing the definitive answer to that would put things more into perspective. Certainly, Tallarico shouldn't be allowed within 100 feet of a video game project, but I do wonder out loud how much more there needs to be said at this point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with Mike Kennedy… man I feel bad for the guy. He got in way over his head (and was either dishonest or being willingly obtuse at various points) but he never took any money for the product.

I know I and others had no issues requesting a refund (providing details of course) from paypal@intellivisionentertainment.com That's the one that always seems to work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
