This acquisition will see Intellivision Entertainment LLC and continue to develop the infamous Amico console with a license from Atari. This will also see the brand rebound with exploration into more licensing and possible new games.
Phil Adam, CEO of Intellivision Entertainment, said in a press release”
“Atari has been a valuable partner and we have every confidence they will be a responsible steward of the storied Intellivision brand. We look forward to our expanded collaboration and the prospect of bringing a broad array of new titles to the Amico family gaming platform.”
