It&#8217;s basically everything that <a href=\"https:\/\/intellivision.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Intellivision Entertainment<\/a> hasn&#8217;t already sold off after failing to launch the ill-fated Amico console. I&#8217;d say this is good news for Intellivision fans as the <a href=\"https:\/\/atari.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">present Atari regime<\/a> has shown that they can be good stewards of classic gaming and release some well-targeted products post <a href=\"https:\/\/atari.com\/collections\/hardware\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Atari VCS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of this writing, we don&#8217;t know what Intellivision Entertainment will be renamed to, but perhaps this will given them the funds they need to continue to limp along with their comically overpriced and confusing-to-setup <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.intellivision.amicoux&amp;hl=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amico Home Android games<\/a>, and maybe even release the console-less Amico controller that&#8217;s on their very loose roadmap. Whatever the selling price, it&#8217;s definitely not enough for them to finish and manufacture the actual Amico console.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter
