Purchase of Intellivision Trademarks and Games Unites Competing Brands from the ‘70s and ‘80sPARIS and NEW YORK, May 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atari® — one of the world's most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers — announced today it has purchased the Intellivision brand and certain games from Intellivision Entertainment LLC.

You should read up on the Amico and in particular watch Pat The NES Punk’s various videos on it. The entire debacle is hilarious.
The Amico is/was basically an investor scam. Yes, it did eventually turn into an actual product (which is crap) but it was never intended to be a serious contender to anything. The intent was for Tommy Tallarico to get his face published everywhere and pocket/embezzle a significant amount of investor and Indiegogo money.
The system itself is basically an out-of-date smartphone chipset running a cut down version of Android. Most of its games, as you would expect, are basically mobile trash. Other than emulated Intellivision titles, anyway. And mobile trash you have to pay up front for a console with bullshit controls to even play it on.
Speaking of Tommy Tallarico, the Hbomberguy video on him was hilarious, sad and eye opening.
Is that the video that uses a deceptive title on a different subject, only to rant about Tommy for the rest of the video for 3 hours?
