Unreleased consoles: Difference between revisions
We should not assume a prototype was made, it possible for something to never get pass being announced. the Retro Chameleon for example had no real prototype as far as anyone can tell. |

The Amico was a console announced in 2017 and slated for a 2020 release. | |||
Intellivision Productions, a company formed by former Mattel Electronics employees, obtained the rights to the Intellivision system and games in the late '90s.[https://history.blueskyrangers.com/] After the death of founder Keith Robinson in 2018, game composer and [https://old.reddit.com/r/Intellivision_Amico/comments/1mbptkf/the_big_list_of_tommy_tallaricos_currently_known/ compulsive liar] Tommy Tallarico bought a stake in the company, and announced that the Intellivision brand would return as a retro-style, family-oriented console. | |||
However, the system suffered multiple delays. Excitement fizzled as the press noted that the hardware was akin to a budget smartphone, and some of the promised titles were already available as free web games or phone games. Tallarico got in public online spats with journalists, and left the company in 2022. In 2024 Atari SA acquired the Intellivision brand, so the company rebranded to Amico Entertainment. | |||
While there was never an official announcement of cancellation, the project can be considered effectively dead, as they couldn't secure funding for mass production. | |||
