The selling of the Intellivision IP's is the saddest postscript to the entire Amico fiasco. Maybe there weren't that critical in the grand scheme of gaming, but they did distinctly belong to that company and deserved the kind of preservation/media museum like an Atari 50 to highlight them. So many elements to the industry prior to the crash are already being lost to the dustbin of history and its a damn shame that certain titles are now being sold off piecemeal because of Tommy's ego and mismanagement. It puts into perspective just how damaging he really was. He didn't just fail to revive the company in any significant way; he made the name Intellivision a laughing stock and rendered it less of a complete brand than it already was.

The amazing thing is that there were so many people who thought these games were worth buying a $200+ console for. I really have to try and go easy on the poor nostalgia-blind folks who backed this, because I struggle with wanting to label them as blind morons. I was too young to have played Intellivision, the NES and Master System were what I grew up with, so I'm trying to cut people slack since they got completely ripped off and lied to (on a millions of dollars scale), but I don't see how this wasn't laughed offstage at E3. Who would take this crap onstage at E3, and think this looked good? Who would back this on crowdfunding sites? I feel bad for all the people who got ripped off, but it is equally clear that even if the console had been released, it still would have been a rip off, a massively underwhelming console that would have been doomed to failure even if it released in a working state. It's crap. Tommy and crew put the least amount of effort into the games and console, too much money and thought into the stupid gimmicks and gimmicky gamepad, and all their effort went into smoke, mirrors, and some shoddy marketing videos filled with happy crappy lies and fake statistics. This was 100% never meant to be a successful console.

I think Intellivision do own a few more IPs - Cloudy Mountain, Night Stalker and Thin Ice are three that immediately come to mind and are probably the most well known after Astrosmash and Shark Shark. Pretty sure they also own Tower of Doom, Buzz Bombers, Thunder Castle, Star Strike, Hover Force, Stadium Mud Buggies and Frog Bog, but who outside of the old school Intellivision fans know what most of those are?

At least Atari's buying IPs now. Stern (Berserk) and even M-Network games. That kind of pivot isn't uncommon when there's been at least 2 re-orgs in 13 years. I don't know the terms of the Battlezone sell so it might either revert after a certain time or could be 'repurchased' with first right of refusal.

I am a less-than casual gamer, but have wanted to get into gaming more. I played a lot more in the late 80's/early 90's when I was a child. I was too young (born in 1981) to play Intellivision when it came out, but have fond memories of playing my older cousin's and younger aunt's (two separate people, I promise) Intellivision at my Grandma's house during the summers when I was in elementary and middle school. So, when I caught wind that a new Intellivision was coming out, I was pretty interested in the concept. I had no idea who Tommy Tallarico was, or any of the backstory. I'll even admit to some animosity towards Pat & Ian for trashing it (Sorry guys! In my defense I didn't know the whole story until pretty recently). But luckily for me, I was never as invested psychologically (and thankfully financially) as the full-on Kool-Aid drinkers; for me it was more of a passing interest and a "That would be neat". Fast-forward a couple years, and I am thoroughly enjoying Tommy Tallarico eat shit. It's always fun watching a malignant narcissist self-aggrandize their way into their just desserts. As for the concept itself, if they had just stuck with a low-powered console with some basic, casual games for under $150 (on top of not having a raging megalomaniac in charge) and actually come out with the product, I bet they could have had a small but dedicated niche following. But, narcissists can't do small-thing-appreciated-by-a-small-number-of-people.

Intellivision Entertainment, as far as we know, still owns the STIC and the EXEC source code and programs. Without them, those games that no longer belong to them cannot be sold in their original form unless it’s reversed engineered, licensed or the copyright on those ROMs is phased out and goes PD. But it gets worse. Because Atari owns the M Network games, just like with the Dynablaster workaround, they can make clones of Astrosmash, Night Stalker, Discs of freaking Tron and even the better version of Kool-Aid Man without their permission (except for Mondelēz’s, perhaps). Technically, Intellivision Entertainment now just owns an eye-sore of a typeface and a basic running animation of a generic lowres pixel representation of a man, in other words: Nothing!

The Amico would have: no games above 10+. No online multiplayer, and by extension would be safe to assume no streaming capabilities. Etc The Wii had a range of games for all ages. Online multiplayer Later added netflix streaming A library of backward games to fall on. Etc. Bringing up 2020 the pandemic also didnt help bring confidence to the console when we were shown a time where online reigned supreme for obvious reasons. Sadly it made the whole main pitch of getting friends and family together for game night a laughing stock. PR also wasnt helped with Tommy considering majority of gamers ( which when you stop to think about is terrible because a good chunk of them were people who grew up with titles he worked on) basment dwellers lol.

Yeah, I'm glad they didn't put a full stop the show, even if it means we only get episodes every few months.

I love watching updates on this, specially when Ian's blood sugar gets out of whack and he starts getting all wide eyed and hyper and speaking REALLY LOUD

I was just watching your old tallarico malding videos and now NEW UPDATE

i wonder how the shells are thinking

Around 2:35, the reason for the erratic graphic style is likely due to the models being bought from an asset store. I've seen this kind of thing before.

wow.. anyone here know the "update" sound byte from UNSOLVED MYSTERIES?? I just watched that series

Should we all band together to buy some of the remaining Intellivision IPs from Phil?

I would, if only to save them from a fate worse than death.

With Phil’s admittance that the Amico console is pretty much done, would this technically be the Victory Lap for Pat and Ian?

I wouldn't say exactly since he is still giving the cult drip feed to entice them the console is eventually coming. Only once the company has either fully gone under or they say in undeniable terms that can't be comprehended any other way the console is no longer a percivable reality.

Er, it's not like they're rooting for it to lose. They just didn't see it as super viable, and then Tallarico got butthurt because they misquoted the cost and were worried about the target demographic. Now here's where it gets interesting, because usually people don't put their foot in their mouth while their head is lodged really far into their ass because it is physically impossible, but not only did he do so, he managed to do it repeatedly so that he was effectively fucking himself up the ass. It was really pretty incredible and I hope he's *really* into feet because he got a mouthful You can't do that on any other console either, only Amico

Kid 1:"Hey, I just played the latest Zelda game on my switch. What did you play?" Kid 2: "Cornhole... on the Amico" Instead of trying to sue the Roblox people. You'd think the new Intelevision group would work with them to get an Amico version, or something.

If these intellivision games are going to mobile first, and the amico costs so much for how old it is without even releasing, why bother?

Exactly! If they are going to be on mobile and other platforms why would spend $300 on a new system?

Keith Robinson (RIP) is turning over in his grave right now. *Edit* I literally paused the video, typed this comment, then pressed play, and those exact words came out of Pat's mouth. 😅

This is it. The victory lap.

The playdate came out! They took my money 2 years ago and I still got nothing !!

As the guys from the great "Who are these Podcasts" always say when anyone says the term "6 figures" it is definitely no more than 200 thousand. You only say that if its very close to 100,000.

LMAO, I died when listing all actual physical products out there. There's the 1up arcade unites, and those have lots of variations in the span of 4 years. THERE ARE WAYS!

This is why everyone ❤'s Ian. We 🤍 you, Ian.
