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.

  1. Tommy Tallarico Scamainco what a rich and hilarious story this is. How to go from a respected musician in the gaming industry for a scam artist . A crook who scam the retro industry for 17 Million dollars! Who is the worlds limbo champion Tommy Talerico how low can you go?😂

  2. Oh hey it's the guy that promoted an obvious scam from a lying criminal then changed his tune (sort of) when he couldn't get away with it anymore. Sure is great for the hobby that everyone loves promoting con artists.

  3. Look at all that Blaze Entertainment and Evercade have accomplished in the same time that Amico got announced, promoted, crashed, and burned. It’s wild!
    Evercade fills the spot nicely. Good gents as well.

  4. It's pretty bad when your console is worse than an Rzone… Don't laugh.. at least it had games like Batman and Panzer Dragoon and Mortal Combat.

  5. What Saga? it was a SCAM from the start and Slopes was enjoying first row seats helping defraud people for three years. Even now he doesnt acknowledge his involvement in the fraud and waves it away as business that simply didnt work out.

    The only video you need to watch is hbomberguy "ROBLOX_OOF.mp3".

  10. Long time viewer, that really appreciates this podcast. My own constructive criticism; spend less time pre-interview covering the content of the interview and add pictures to the story items you are covering in realtime. Just a thought. [Edit] I'm only adding this as I believe these changes will bring a larger audience.
