Intellivision Unveils Amico Console

[Armenius]

After being delayed three times, Intellivision is going to start cutting staff and licensing out their IP in an effort to save the Amico console. A lack of exposure and marketing led to a freeze in investment into the console, even from crowdfunding sources, causing Intellivision to take drastic steps.

I'd rather have cancer. Stuff like intellivision didn't age like 8 or 16 bit titles. I can't imagine there's a market for any of this.

The things I liked most about the Intellivision were the 16-directional controller and the voice module. All other console games at the time were 4 or 8 direction only.

Family had one and my older brother ended up taking it when he moved out.
The games were dog basic back then with little reply value.
Space Spartan with the voice box maybe the best one.

I can't even play NES games. I think SNES is the oldest I'd still play.

I could, plenty of gems on that system.

I think it depends on the years you grew up in. The NES is basically as far back as I go. I have a hard time playing anything older than that.

The NES was such a game changer. A ton of those games still hold up today, but very few older generation titles do. You can probably name the ones that do (Pac Man and such) even if you're younger. It's not anyone's fault, the tech just wasn't really there yet. Still, it's why I don't need products like this.
