- Technology
The Intellivision arrived in 1979 as an exciting new game console, and almost 40 years later, Tommy Tallarico picked up the rights and began work on a sequel. The Intellivision Amico aimed to bring family fun back to living room gaming, but it didn't go well.
Hosted by Corbin Davenport, guest starring Evan Hirsh.
