Amico Home للكمبيوتر

ADVISORY: Amico Home is in beta test. Please report issues to the support email. Some games shown in the screenshots are not yet available but are coming soon!

Amico Home turns your smart device into a game console, allowing you to experience the joy of "couch-play" multiplayer gaming with your family and friends!

Amico Home requires a WiFi network to connect to other smart devices running the Amico Controller app.

Amico games are designed for you to enjoy a local multiplayer experience with your family and friends of all ages. All Amico games are family-friendly with no in-app purchases and no playing with strangers over the Internet! The mission of Amico is to bring people together for simple, affordable, family entertainment.

Requirements
There are four components required to enjoy Amico Home:
1. This FREE Amico Home app – helps you find and play Amico games.
2. Amico games – family-friendly games designed for local multiplayer fun for all ages.
3. The FREE Amico Controller app – turns smart devices into Amico game controllers.
4. A WiFi network shared by all participating devices.

Setup Steps
1. Install the Amico Home app on one device to act as the “console”.
2. Install one or more Amico game apps on the same device as the Amico Home app.
3. Install the Amico Controller app on one or more separate devices to act as wireless game controllers. Connect up to 8 controllers* to Amico Home!

A tablet is a good choice for the console device because the larger screen is easier for all players to view together. Or choose a device that supports a wired HDMI connection** to your TV for the big screen experience!

How to Start Play
1. Launch the Amico Home app or any Amico game app on the console device.
2. Launch the Amico Controller app on your additional device(s). It automatically connects to the console device, provided all devices are on the same WiFi network.
3. Use the Amico Controller device(s) to play the game or control the Amico Home app.

Once you start playing, you will move seamlessly back and forth between the Amico Home app and Amico game apps until you end play (see below). From the Amico Home app you will find and launch the games you’ve already installed. When you exit a game, the console device returns to the Amico Home app*** where you can choose another installed game to launch, or you can browse the “SHOP” area to see what other games are available for purchase.

Buying Amico Games
You can find Amico Home games on the Intellivision® publisher page on the Google Play Store. Amico games are tagged on their app icon with the letter ‘A’ from the Amico logo. It is the same letter-logo shown on the Amico Home app icon and Amico Controller app icon.

You can also view all the available Amico games in the Amico Home app’s “SHOP” area. Selecting “BUY” on a game in the Amico Home app launches the Google Play Store to the game’s product page where you will manually operate the console device to complete the purchase. Return to the Amico Home app when the purchase is complete to continue playing while the new game installs. After the new game finishes installing, it will appear in the Amico Home app’s “MY GAMES” area.

How to End Play
When it is time to end your Amico Home session, simply close the currently running Amico game app and/or Amico Home app on the console device as per the normal procedure for closing apps on your device.
Do the same on your Amico Controller devices to close out the Amico Controller app.
