Someone Made Cornhole for Intellivision

Something Intellivision themselves couldn't even do.



A Closer Look at "Amigo Cornhole" — A Fan-Made Intellivision Amico Clone Unveiled at PRGE 2023

Someone Made Cornhole for Intellivision
Quite the setup

The Portland Retro Game Expo (PRGE) 2023 had no shortage of fascinating reveals, but one fan-made creation in particular caught the eyes of attendees (thx Intellivision Revolution): "Amigo Cornhole," a homage to the ill-fated Intellivision Amico console by the now infamous pathological narcissistic liar, Tommy Tallarico. Unlike its inspiration, which has now become infamous as a scam, this tribute demonstrated a surprising level of quality and polish.


A Faithful Recreation with a Twist

While Tallarico's Intellivision Amico promised much but delivered little, the creator of "Amigo Cornhole" seems to have paid meticulous attention to detail.

The game features intuitive controls and a multi-split-screen display, one area showing the angle adjustments for your throws, which bounce back and forth, and another area depicting the cornhole target. Above it is an image of a person from a distance depicting the field of view.
