Intellivision stuff

estiroseLong story short, Intellivision Entertainment (maybe with more sane people, definitely less of them) put out a newsletter that was basically:
1) They've pulled down their investment campaign until they can figure out what's going on.
2) They cut down their budget and staff.
3) They are working on licensing their IPs for more funding.
4) They're doing a test production run of the Amico to make sure it's doable.
5) They're working on refunding preorders who have requested refunds.
6) First Amicos out will be for pre-orders and their distributors. No retail channels until they stabilize.
So, I'm hoping that the Amico and Intellivision are finally moving in the right direction. I'm really thrilled that they're looking at "licensing their IPs", and hoping that this means that we'll get new versions of one of the various dedicated official Intellivision emulators. (I've been trying to get Retroarch to work on the Deck for Intellivision emulation. It's... not going well.)
