It is surprising news, though I suppose Atari has been buying up a bunch of stuff lately. Funny timing for me too, as I just recently started playing a real Intellivision (as opposed to the Flashback) for the first time, so I've been learning a lot about the library and history and such. I wonder where they're getting the "more than 200 titles". From my understanding, there's just barely over 125 games, plus some later compilations and a few games on the Flashback that were unreleased back in the day. Even if you count all of that, how are they getting over 200?

I was wondering if the Colecovision would be next too. I'd love new hardware that works with the old carts, though I wouldn't want it to be emulation, and I'd want something I could hook up to a CRT.

It does sound like yet another nail in the Amico's coffin. Nostalgia for the Intellivision brand was one of its selling points (not that that counted for much; the Intellivision is barely remembered, if known at all, by most current gamers). Granted, even if this deal never happened, I'd still expect the Amico to never see the light of day, and I've suspected that would be the case from the very beginning.
