This empty packagin reminded me of this thread and imho this makes a great analogy of the situation of this console.

Tommy is an absolute fucking lolcow. My God. The absolute shit he was able to claim for the simple fact that almost NO ONE thought to verify ANY of his "accomplishments" is fucking incredible.
He was always a weird one. The mantra behind him was that he was this legendary video game composer, because he just told everyone he was a legendary video game composer, but then you actually look up what he made and it's a whole lot of shovelware and nonsense. He's no Tim Follin or Toby Fox. In fact, he shouldn't even be within a country mile of Tim Follin or Toby Fox. Or Jesper Kyd. Or Jeremy Soule. Or Yoko Shimamura. Or Grant Kirkhope. Or David Wise. Or Koji Kondo. Or Nobuo Uematsu. Or any of the countless other video game composers that don't make a fucking ass of themselves, screaming their names from the rooftops, pretending to be some kind of magical musical wizards that changed gaming history forever while promoting whatever scam of the week he's got going.

The crazy part is that the number of games he claimed to have worked on went from 200, to 250, to 300, to 350 and now he claims 350+. If you look at his list of games he has worked on, and NOT count shit he lists more than once due to being on different platforms, it's more like 60-70 games

Yeah, Wikipedia has a list that mentions what he did. Some entries are literally just sound effects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Tallarico
 
Look, I'm not saying Tallarico is perfect, but I am a fan of the Cool Spot OST in particular. How consistent he kept that despite the wildly varying hardware is technically impressive, and the actual composition on the OST is really solid. It's easily a 4/5 OST in both the Genesis and SNES renditions.

If you ignore his blustery ego and focus on what he's done, he's certainly out-producing the other names mentioned in terms of quantity, and the highs in quality are on par with anyone else, especially contrasted against some of the absolute dreck Toby Fox put out on Pokemans. Fox is only famous because he made a beeline to exactly the right profile of cocks to suck.
 
Tallarico was involved in the Sega CD special edition of EWJ.
That version honestly sucked. The music was... okay. The additions they made were mostly pointless and it removed the hidden level from the Genesis version.

I'm just amused that this dude's one major claim to fame "I did the soundtrack to the classic Earthworm Jim!" is yet another lie. The man did the soundtrack to the not as good as the 1st game but still pretty good sequel. This nigga only did the sequel and that's as far as his affiliation with EWJ goes because Shiny moved on after 2.

After watching DJ Slope's documentary on the Amico, I have no idea why Tommy Tallarico never had his own KF thread.

I honesstly don't see how the Intellivision brand can ever recover after this fiasco.

Nevermind Tommy being a huge fucking sperg, how the fuck did the fans not immediately see this shit was shady as fuck? The immediate thing I noticed was how anytime someone mentioned "game x" Tommy would IMMEDITELY go "oh yea that's totally coming to the system!", fucking bullshit. Companies never keep promises like that, especially if it's in regards to an IP thats already owned by another company. People make requests like that all the fucking time on Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft systems, hell, not just games but specific character requests for said games as well. Do you think Masahiro Sakurai would be as respected as he is if he instead of being realistic and handling the smash series like he did he instead went "oh yea, EVERYONE is getting their favorite character in the game, totally!!!"

I always hated blind brand loyalty and how fans look up to certain people as celebrity gods. It's the same shit with Sega fans regarding Yuji Naka, the fucker is a dirtbag but people will still defend him because "muh sonic and nights".
