By virtue of existing we know these games are finished works. Since they all run on smartphones we also know that they work in an Android/Linux environment and are not very demanding. But we’ve never seen footage or demonstrations of these games running on “Amico” hardware. We’ve never seen demonstrations of their use of the controller. As far as we know, all of this footage is of the existing mobile or PC versions. They’ve never appeared on Alverado’s “roadmap”, nor have they ever been given the “I’m just waiting for the source code from the developer” excuse. So why announce these games? To attract investors who didn’t know better. Like all things Amico, the goal was to sell the idea to investors who would contribute money or buy them out. Hopefully these investors didn’t dig to find out that these “exclusive games” could already be had for free. Very little of IE’s game library actually exists (remember Tommy saying they had 80+ games in development?). But they wanted to sell investors the idea of them. They’re still at it, trying to sell you a racing game with one track.

I can turn on my tap and get free water. Why should I spend money to buy, and lug home, bottled water then? For some "experience" that I will never understand? Look, I can make fun of this product all day, but the reality of the situation is that I am NOT its market. If IE believes that these games are worth paying for in a big screen environment, with the Amico controller, then so be it. You don't understand it? Cool. You are not its market. Go play them for free then.

And per HuzZLeR…TommIE’s company is in the best position on planet Earth in regards to dominating the future videogame landscape. They have the technology & the industry experience & the hunger to be the main disrupters/winners going forward. Plus now…TommIE’s company finally has the albatross of Mattel’s singular console name from the 80s off their back. That load was too heavy a burden for their modern human experience aspirations…per the reasonable/rational/all knowing HuzZLeR.

The latter is having to handle the refund queue, which has limited slots per month. Yup. They're in such poor shape that refunds are drip-fed. No wonder John admitted the controllers are no longer a part of any foreseeable future.

Defender 1 and 2 are brilliant, having played them both on an emulator I can fully understand why Atari games are rendered as classic. Yes I admit I was once a huge PlayStation and XBOX gamer but since I've now retired from that line of gaming I actually enjoy these oldies better.. I think in my opinion is that they're more fun and with it's own single objective and a score which makes it competitive especially when you're having a score match with friends..

Funny, but the game that was taken back to stores in 1982 was E.T. because kids didn't like falling in the pits. It looks like a side-scroller like Jungle Hunt, but it's really an adventure game because you had to find the route to get all the treasures in 20 minutes. And maybe jump 29 scorpions or something. It's too bad they didn't have an end-scene for when you win, like a helicopter picks him up.

I was able to work around it at age 12 at a friend's house, but it would definitely been too much for a 6 or 8 year old. They should have had an ad campaign selling the new system by saying "Pass your Atari 2600 to your little brother," and not release must-have arcade games like Pac-Man on that system. Short term thinking: they sold something like 5 million Atari 2600s in 1982-3, but helped cause a video game crash. Last time I was able to win E.T. on the hard level 6 times in a row. I think it should have been a bicycle chase game like _Paperboy (1985)_ which I bought at regular price for the Gameboy.
