The Intellivision Amico with Slope’s Game Room – The Retro Hour EP380

We have a long-overdue catch up with Daniel Ibbertson AKA Slope’s Game Room, including breaking down the ill-fated Intellivision Amico. Promising to bring back the classic brand, the Amico’s repeated delays, leadership changes, and potential cancellation have left it shrouded in uncertainty. DJ Slope, renowned for his comprehensive gaming history content, brings his insight into this saga, discussing the console’s initial vision, the issues it faced, the intriguing lineup of games that were slated for release, and what the Amico’s journey means for the wider retro gaming industry.
