Holy sht, you can NOT still be drooling for this stuff.

[@SomeOrangeCat]

He's really trying to convince us he's excited for this drivel.

[@BaconIceCream]

Drooling…no. Reporting on news…always! Thanks as always for checking this out my friend!! 😀👍👊🔥🔥🔥

[@BaconIceCream]

Or, I could just be reporting news! Thanks again! 👍😀👊🔥🔥🔥

[@TVsHasselhoff]

Good video, Rich. It's been good seeing you and others keeping the Amico project moving forward. I know Alvarado has been working his butt off getting Home working on the different platforms.

[@BaconIceCream]

He sure has, and the testing team has grown and is kicking some tail as well! Very cool to see these public updates, and can’t wait for more! Thanks as always for checking this out my friend!! 😀👍👊🔥🔥🔥

[@kjhoskins]

Good stuff, Rich. I love Amico news. Thanks for the video!

[@BaconIceCream]

No worries my friend! They put stuff out, and I’ll report on it! Stay tuned for some Amico Home Fun For Fives if you’d like as well! Thanks as always for the support and for checking this out my friend!! 😀👍👊🔥🔥🔥

[@PuzZLeR_00]

Some nice news for Amico, but I'm particularly interested to see new games for this.

[@BaconIceCream]

And new games should be on the way soon for all platforms! I believe there are at least 5 more in the pipeline so far, and more to be introduced to testing soon! Thanks as always for checking this out my friend!! 😀👍👊🔥🔥🔥

[@PuzZLeR_00]

@@BaconIceCream And looking forward to seeing what's next with Amico. Always good my friend! 😃

[@TheAtariCreep]

Cool.

[@BaconIceCream]

Indeed my friend!! Hope you have a blast if you check these out, and I hope you’re feeling better! Thanks as always for checking this out my friend!! 😀👍👊🔥🔥🔥

[@SomeOrangeCat]

Im sure they'll sell tens of copies, just like they did on Google Play. Rigid Force Redux with a tacked on multiplayer component, priced $13 more expensive than the $2 base version, is laughable. The base version doesn't require a controller app or a second device either.

[@BaconIceCream]

This might be the case, but we’ll see I suppose. Also, Rigid Force Redux is indeed on sale on Switch right now … but what’s the price of that base version off sale? It’s $19.99. It’s all about what people want to pay for any experience, and all subjective. Thanks as always for checking this out my friend!! 👍😀👊🔥🔥🔥

[@SomeOrangeCat]

@@BaconIceCream $2 is its regular price on Google Play and iOS though, which are two biggest markets the Amico Home version is being sold on. You can make all the excuses you want for them, but people aren't stupid. They'll largely avoid this overpriced tripe. You might see Cornhole numbers for this, maybe.

[@BaconIceCream]

@ I suppose the market will indeed dictate what they want to spend their time and money on. I can be sure though, that launch price on those platforms was not $2 either. In fact, I checked, and it wasn’t. That’s not my concern though, I’m just here to play games and report news. Thanks again!

[@intellivisiongamer]

I will definitely be trying it once it’s on Apple TV 😎

[@intellivisiongamer]

May try it on my Mac 🤔

[@BaconIceCream]

I’ve heard it works there! Thanks again!! 😀👍🔥🔥👾🕹

[@BaconIceCream]

Me too, we’ve got an Apple TV in the living room begging for some action! Thanks as always for the support and for checking this out my friend!! 😀👍👊🔥🔥🔥

[@intylab]

Any Amico news is good news these days. I'm still looking forward to more game releases.

[@BaconIceCream]

Me too, I’m very glad to see these games launching, and I’m super pumped for the next round!! Thanks as always for checking this out my friend!! 😀👍👊🔥🔥🔥

[@steviegrafx1616]

I have played the BBG games several times on my Nintendo Switch, and I enjoy the heck out of them.

[@BaconIceCream]

They are pretty fun! I even played Dynablaster on the Atari VCS, although I think it’ll be better with friends! Hope you have a blast if you check out the Home games! Thanks as always for checking this out my friend!! 👍😀👊🔥🔥🔥

[@intellivisiongamer]

Looking forward to the VCS upgrades live! I need to do one of mine ha.

[@BaconIceCream]

Indeed! And have fun while upgrading!! I can’t wait for this one … it’s going to be a blast!! Thanks again!! 😀👍👊🔥🔥🔥

[@JKintheAK]

@@BaconIceCream No it's not. No-one thinks these games are anything other than Flash era browser crap. I grew up with this era of gaming too but they are nostalgia bating and you're spreading this for them. What about the people waiting for refunds? They certainly aren't seeing the products they were promised. They aren't getting the refunds they were promised. The console doesn't and never existed, nor will it. I'm SHOCKED to see anyone still falling for this.

[@BaconIceCream]

@@JKintheAK you do realize I was talking about the VCS upgrade video, right? And yes, it was a blast! Thanks as always for checking this out my friend!! 👍😀👊🔥🔥🔥

[@intylab]

Yes, play the Amico games on Fun For Five.

[@BaconIceCream]

Will do! And possibly live as well! Stay tuned! Thanks as always for checking this out my friend!! 👍😀👊🔥🔥🔥

[@JetteroHeller83]

You can play all of these games on the switch right now. Rigid force Redux is on the switch. The BBG games are also available: astrosmash, shark shark and Dynablaster. I'm sure those games are on Steam as well. Surprised they haven't come to Atari VCS.

[@BaconIceCream]

Dynablaster is on the VCS, but that would be cool to see Astrosmash and Shark! Shark! . They are different versions of the games though. The “Home” versions have had more updates over time. The BBG versions only had minor work before being released by the BBG internal devs. We’ll see!! 😀👍🔥🔥👾🕹

[@YETTheShow]

Sup Rich. I’m glad they were actually able to get Amico Home on iOS. If I was a betting man I would have completely bet against them. I’m okay with having lost that bet. The price point is what puts me out from finally trying. I use iPhones, have two phones I can use, but $15 for these games kill me. Maybe people will pay that. But I just got System Shock on sale for $20 - and that’s one remake I can’t wait to play. For $5 more than Shark Shark it was an easy choice. I’d love to try the games but I’m still just going to stay away. Maybe I’ll snag them if they ever go on sale. And while the console may never come out, if the Amico ever does come out I’ll snag it.

[@JetteroHeller83]

Yes do it. Play the Amico home games. It will make for fun content. I feel it should be done as a livestream so I can see you using your phone as a controller. When DJC played rigid force Redux, we all knew he was playing it on the switch with a modern controller. I think you need 2 phones to play on Amico home. One to act as a controller and the other for a screen. The users did not like that at all.

[@BaconIceCream]

No worries! We can do this on a Good Times With Great Friends, and we can use the Amazon Cube as the “Home Console”. (I think currently that device has the best performance.) Hope you can tune in! Thanks as always for checking this out my friend!! 👍👊😀🔥🔥🔥

[@BobNoobin]

Amico fun for 5 👍

[@BaconIceCream]

Noted and added to the list of people looking for these! Guess I’ll be busy over the Holidays!! Thanks as always for checking this out my friend!! 👍😀👊🔥🔥🔥

[@BobNoobin]

@@BaconIceCream Cool.

[@relicgamer2137]

Nice video but unfortunately this is destined to crash and burn. I bought games on the Amico home app And I got it to work one time and the controllers never link ever again and I had problems before I haven't touched it in probably a year try to do it again same problem never connects with the controller app and there's no way to navigate on the console app itself so yeah this is a big fail They really should have control on Amico home app without a controller so that you can figure out a way to get them to link unfortunately they never link so you have no control over your dashboard I'm sorry it's been a year and they still have in this problem so yeah I'm kind of out I don't have time for this. This is just a non-starter it should work right out of the box You download the app they link and they should work I shouldn't have to play email phone tag to see what it takes to get this to work it should just work on its own

[@BaconIceCream]

Thanks for the share, and good to see you! I can see the way you feel, I’m just glad to have the games! It’ll be cool to play them all with the boys, and that was what it was all about for me! Thanks as always for checking this out my friend!! 😀👍👊🔥🔥🔥

[@BobNoobin]

We can play real Amico in heaven😊

[@PuzZLeR_00]

This needs a good flow of new games to succeed. But, if the Indie dev program brings them Home will succeed with a small but dedicated group that are glad to pay $15/game, and repeat sales will be strong. They need no advertising costs, and their overhead is nearly zero. It has a chance.

[@SomeOrangeCat]

​@@PuzZLeR_00 "If" is doing a tremendous amount of lifting in your scenario, as always.

[@PuzZLeR_00]

@@SomeOrangeCat I have no control over the company and its decisions so I use "if". Oh, and BTW, the Indie dev program has indeed begun. It burns you doesn't it?

[@JetteroHeller83]

Pat the NES Punk says that the new echo the dolphin game will be releasing sometime in the future. That was a while ago. It will release on everything. Earthworm Jim on the other hand or the Amico tank game, I don't see releasing since the Amico dudes just stole artwork and tank designs.

[@BaconIceCream]

I’m not too sure about any of that, but what I do know is most of the new games coming out are going to be pack-ins or the boxed games. That’s good for me, because those are the ones I wanted to play the most! Thanks again!! 😀👍👊🔥🔥🔥

[@JKintheAK]

Wait. People are still simping for what is now an obvious scam?

[@BaconIceCream]

Not sure what “people” you might be talking about, but we do talk about news here! Thanks as always for checking this out my friend!! 😀👍👊🔥🔥🔥
