CyricZ 05/23/24 8:49:42 AM #3:	Reminder that Atari is not "Atari". They are Infogrames who bought the Atari label and just called themselves Atari. Intellivision itself is a pretty defunct brand. It had a slight resurgence in the PS2 era when former Mattel Electronics programmers secured the license and started putting out compilation games, such as "Intellivision Lives" and "Intellivision Rocks". Then the main stakeholder, Keith Robinson, who was in charge of Intellivision Productions and one of those former programmers, died in 2017. Tommy Tallarico bought a major stake in the company in 2018 and spearheaded the push for a new "family friendly" Intellivision console called the "Amico", which kinda looks like the old Intellivision given a modern "Apple"-style spin. They were going to release the console in 2020, but the pandemic hit and they continued to post delays to the console's release. It's probably in one of those dead-limbo situations where it'll likely never see the light of day. Given that Infogrames says they still want to release the console (rather than trying to refresh the brand as another "retro" resurgence), I don't think we can expect much from this, except the continued slow death of Intellivision as a brand. --- CyricZ He/him http://twitch.tv/cyricz42 <cite>CyricZ posted [p:980520005] in Atari acqu...
