@smoreon I get that impression as well.

See what we really needed was Mega Drive, 32X and Mega CD all in one.

@Sketcz Xbox 360 was a legit good machine and I'm not even an Xbox fan.

I wonder if another publisher will buy the game?

The day David Dastmalchian was cast as Bison was the happiest day of your life but for me...it was Tuesday. 😉

@Andee It can be summed up by these things:

• Tommy Tallarico couldn't keep his mouth shut and overpromised endless possible games for the Amico which were just suggestions therefore people say he's a liar.
• Amico crowd funded $17 million through Kickstarter, sorry, investment crowdfunding and where did all that money go is the question always being asked.
• Detractors are very concerned about the investors being misled about the people recruited to lead this project because of course putting out a new console you're not going to hype and market it to investors.
• The console is a scam because it's about casual games (which is a bad thing apparently).
• Tommy in an interview called out gamers as being elitists for not wanting simple casual gaming but in anger called gamers "gaming racists".
• Tommy follows right wing people so that means the Amico is a scam and shouldn't come out.
• Apparently a furniture lawsuit means the console is a scam. The detractors are REALLY invested in that one for some reason.

Above all the reason the CUPodcast is covering it is because when they said they didn't see the point of the console Tommy snubbed them online and dismissed their opinions so as a result those two have been grifting off the drama since 2018. The same podcast that shadow banned me for not liking their favourite Star Wars movies. Meanwhile their biggest fans have a subreddit and Discord to harass, insult, do defamation videos and generally dox or obsess about anyone that's remotely been interested in the console. 🙄

@Andee Hey, they managed to get clicks each week and rally a pitchfork waving mob after anyone the least bit interested in the console. That's quite an achievement. 😂

@Andee Is that sarcasm? 🤔 I mean they've covered the Amico almost every podcast since 2018. It's become their grift and legacy because it pulls in the clicks.

I have heard of this game. Nice to see it get more exposure.

Wow, I hope they pull through. We need Cyan around.

Nice to see a missing port found.

@Toy_Link I assumed this is aimed at me? I mean why would anyone take as truth what those two have to say? They're hardly reliable and depending on who you talk to have some wild, incompetent takes they air.

Also in regards to supporting RFID cards it was obviously good enough an idea for Nintendo to adopt it. We are heading towards a future where physical media is being discontinued. This offers the most realistic way to merge physical with digital while allowing the reselling of what the consumer buys when they finish with it. Of course I'm going to support it. Feel free to be suspicious then of someone who supports physical media. If that's my apparent crime, good! 👍

That's a shame. I wasn't a fan of the PS2/GC game because they deviated from the 2D designs by going 3D.

Considering the Commodore Amiga is my favourite computer this is terrific news. I would be interested in knowing more detail about how you managed to buy all the trademarks back since there was so many. I'm still however sceptical this will lead to anything more than a niche hobbyist interest. The last thing we need is more Power PC's with the Commodore name on them. We're still a long way to go to be on the same page as Microsoft and Apple back in the 80's and 90's.

@scottishwildcat But how are people supposed to buy it if it's limited?

@Fiyz It wasn't a con job. That is beyond ridiculous to assume that.

@Pugsley7 Question: why are you using an alt account? Close inspection of your account is red flags. 🤔

@Axelay71 That game should be complete I think.

@mjparker77 "He's part of that weird cult they have"

Oh the irony of who you are saying that. 😂

Also I didn't ask for your opinion.

@carlos82 Why do they need furniture to ship a console? 😆

@carlos82 Okay so you don't want them to give what people paid for... 🤦‍♂️

@carlos82 So you don't want them to release the console?

@carlos82 So what do you expect them to do? Not release the console which is what people paid for?

@mjparker77 Apart from not understanding what a scam is I didn't actually ask for your opinion. 🙄

@carlos82 I mean they're damned if they release the console and damned if they don't. People like yourself will complain either way.

@carlos82 Wow wow, there's some stuff here that is incorrect:

"but it very much became a scam when they realised a long time ago that they couldn't deliver but still kept asking for money."

That's not a scam. The raised financial investment once they realised they would need it. Sure you can argue they did use their budget accurately but that's more incompetence than a malicious agenda.

"and had Tommy making stuff up."

That's him by himself doing that because we know TT exaggerates or overpromises on stuff that hasn't been finalised.

"given they don't sell anything"

Did you not see the article? They're selling games?

Was it really necessary to add a video link to the Bert and Ernie of gaming podcasts? 😆

I hope the console does come out but my issues are too much time has past for it to be a success. Having said that, they do plan on updating the hardware for hopefully when the console is released.

I am glad however that one retro gaming community as well as Nintendo have adopted what Amico was going to do with physical media. Hopefully more companies will catch on. 👍

@Peteykins I can't take any of your comments here seriously. 😂

@carlos82 I got to correct you a bit here. Firstly there's a handful of people still working at the company. Not much I know, but more than just two. Secondly, the console wasn't a scam but through mismanagement and bad luck it hasn't come out yet.

I went back and forth having a nice text chat with Tony over at the Evercade Discord (one of the few good memories of that hell hole). Nice person, enthusiastic to talk to about games he worked on.

He's apparently been involved with various games uncredited. I did ask him about getting his MobyGames credits sorted out but he feels it's a hassle to do.

They're going to have to handle those lightgun games eventually so why not?

I think the Loaded games are perfectly fine.

@Lanmanna There's a tendency with homebrew to stick it on anything without taking advantage of the hardware and it feels like this is the case here.

@Sketcz 😂

This isn't really a solution to their problems. They can't market new Spectrum games for the Next if only a small amount of people actually own one. They need a publisher to do a wider release.

John Szczepaniak = a very talented, hard working troll. Dude, that looks awesome! 😲

I always thought this looked cool.

I'm really wary of hit feedback on their games. 🤔

Adi Shankar: so edgy, so cool. 😆

He looked at them and said "talk to the hand". 😂

@PKDuckman I'm well aware and tend to bring it up elsewhere. I wonder if the music was licenced or they didn't expect to get sued.

@Gyromike 😉

Nicely done I must say! 👍

I still don't know what this has to do with space vampires... 🤔

I thought this had a port. Cool news anyway.

@axelhander Yes, he probably swears a lot as usual. 😂

@Omarzuqo Why do you say this?

@RolyTheBeerGeek @JJtheTexan Come on now guys, get a room.

This was amazing to watch and to this day an important lesson relevant to any company in gaming. Regardless of what region you are the problems shown in this doc are still relatable even now. 👍

Saw this happen to Abandonia. Horrible, just horrible. 😪

Why would they remove it after two days??? 😆

Why is Adi Shankar always trying to be so edgy? 😆

@Zeebor15 They could just port the Bug! games. Those were cool. 😊

Good luck trying to get Sega to co-operate. 😆

This is crazy and hilarious! 😂

Bought these on Steam already. Not sure I need them again.
