No way it will sell for that, anyone buying it will have to put a lot of time and money to fix how the thing looks. No one but Tommy wants to live in a house with a pool table ceiling.

1 million would probably be more believable. The tacky shit aside it’s still a decent sized house in a well off California county within a gated neighborhood. Honestly I want to see Tommy’s financials over the years. He could be the perfect argument for how easy Boomers and early Gen X had it

Yeah it is a good size and is in a good place, but just all the work to de-tallarico it will really put a dent in the price anyone is willing to play.

This house in the same place is smaller, yet going for $50k more. Just speaks to how much of an idiot he is.

Intellivision Names Amico Mascot, Still No Sign Of The Console​

It's terrible. It looks like some weird version of Plankton from Spongebob. Why bother with a mascot for Amico when it's vaporware? I know they got that awful app which doesn't let you have a second player unless you have not two but three phones because retardation. The fugly wannabe Plankton mascot doesn't help.

Actually, I think you need two phones for a one player game. Unless they fixed that jank.
 
So let's do a quick recapping of the Amico saga up to this point

- Around 2020 Tommy Tallarico (when he was still CEO of Intellivision Entertainment) stated that his main goal was for Intellivision (his childhood favorite console brand) to finally be able to defeat Atari in a console sales war.

- Since 2021 Atari has released :
The VCS (they're flagship console in modern times), released the 2600+, partnered with My Arcade to release multiple new mini system's (the micro player, the pocket player and the gamestation pro) , they now own half of Playmaji the makers of the Polymega, they also own half of Antstream, fully own Night Dive Studios and Digital Eclipse, they purchased over a hundred classic ips such as Bubsy and Hardball, they created the Atari Recharged line of games and the Atari 50 collection, they're partnering with Retro Games to release the Atari 400 mini, purchased Atari age etc.

- Meanwhile at Intellivision :
They've pretty much wasted all the money they had gained from gullible Kickstarter backers and loan sharks like Sudesh Aggarwal (over 16 million dollars), still no Amico consoles ready to be shipped , Earthworm Jim IV is nowhere to be found, the Amico controller is still not functional, Phil Adam the guy that has replaced Tommy as CEO of Intellivision was previously involved in the Coleco Chameleon fiasco, they've gone third party releasing the Amico home app on smartphones before even releasing they're console ( a first in gaming history ), the idiots who pre ordered this console got fake physical games that don't work on anything as a reward, Tommy is out of money as is selling his House etc

Guess that second console war between Intellivision and Atari isn't exactly going according to plan now is it Tommy 😂

So far it seems like Atari hasn't done much with Intellivision besides sell hats and shirts. A lot of the games that were supposed to launch for the Amico belong to BBG Entertainment and have been released on Steam, Xbox and Playstation.

For the low price of $3 Million Dollars, you can own Tommy Tallarico home. Im guessing he hurting for cash if he selling his dream home.

The house sold for $2.7 million dollars in September last year.

With the housing market the way it is, Tommy may actually make some cash off of this. This is of course if he actually owns the house in full and didn’t just rent stupid shit like his car

Records show that he bought the house in 1995 for $605,000. It should have been paid off by the time he sold the house. I think Tommy probably had loans against his house to finance all his Intellivision stuff. It wouldn't surprise me if he didn't get to keep any of the money from the sale of his house.

Tommy Tallarico took down the fake MTV cribs video of his house that used to be here on YouTube. This is a local archive:


In case anyone is wondering what Tommy Tallarico is up to right now it looks like he is currently on tour for Video Games Live.
