Intellivision Amico Home Is a DISASTER!
Intellivision Amico Home is a disaster.
"Amico Home" testing was, curiously, not broadcasted on Intellivision's main channels but rather on an episode of "Amico Forever." Hosted by DJC and Rich from Bacon Ice Cream Productions, with special appearances from Nick Richards and John Alvarado in the chat, the episode delved deep into the Amico Home's offerings.
In essence, Amico Home transforms an Android device into an Intellivision console. This app is free, with games sold individually. Although an iOS version is in the pipeline, the app has its limitations. It cannot simultaneously act as the console and controller. Meaning, if you wish to play, your Android device becomes the screen. To interact, users need a separate app for mobile devices or use the upcoming Amico controllers. The system also emphasizes local networking, posing questions about its versatility in various scenarios.
