But this would have been a good Intellivoice game.

There are still hopes for a Parsec homebrew for Intellivision.

At least I've not given up hope, yet

Great Video on why these AAA games are no longer interesting for a lot of gamers.

Make sure all the updates for Windows and PC brand and everything are up-to-date and have it in game mode. I have no idea where the bottleneck could have been. Possibly at some sharing hub or YouTube itself.

A few folks thought I may have been getting throttled by my local provider because of the weekend?  Not sure.  I don't know much about those types of things.

Loved this!  Thanks for sharing!

Here's a good one:

Thinking of Retro reimagined Sega has today lots of those games on Steam cause of 60 years Sega:

Sonic 2 is free: https://store.steampowered.com/app/71163/Sonic_The_Hedgehog_2/

and also:

Streets of Kamurocho a Yakuza meets Street of Rage II Brawler with some technical problems with some Resolutions but a great game but bad programmed free today: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1368430/Streets_Of_Kamurocho/

and  Endless Zone a Retro Reimaged Version of Fantasy Zone awesome one with control probrems (lack) today free: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1368450/Endless_Zone/

and Armor of Heroes a 2D Demake of a 3D Game also seems rushed with bad Twin Sticks controls and free today: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1368440/Armor_of_Heroes/

Later today also free: Golden Axe(d) a one Level Prototype for a new Golden Axe Game that was never finished: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1368460/Golden_Axed_A_Cancelled_Prototype/

I think Intellivision will bring much better Retro Reimaged titles without such problems like bad controls. But as the games are free today these are still great 2D games.

Also 2 Amico Videos:

Like the Videos of the Generational gamer, Cyrus Martin and Pete most of them.

I don't watch TV much outside of pro football, and State Farm has been unintentionally advertising for cornhole a lot lately.

@Tommy Tallarico

Has any thought been put into naming Burning Rubber, Bump ‘n Jump instead, given the INTV history with the latter name?

Have been looking forward to this one being remade and would love it to see it keep the original (to me anyway) name. 

Thought this was interesting.  I know it's not Amico related but wanted to share anyway.  It would be neat to have Golden Axe on Amico.

This game.... I played it also a few times now... Hmmm its not as good as a Golden Axe game. Very Easy not as the original ones that were very hard. No magic drinks, no axe.... Sega should make a new one it with the Streets of Rage 4 Developers. I think it will be a much better game then this. Without the Golden Axe Name this title here could have been an ok action game but with the name Golden Axe think I know why Sega has stopped the project. I don`t know if Tommy also plans some more Sega Games (Eccco the Dolphin the only annouced one or?) on the Amico. Would be great to get games like Golden Axe, Fantasy Zone, Aleste, Thunderforce, Shinobi  and others... About Sega I often read that Microsoft wants to buy them... I really like the Sega Ages Series on the Switch. I hope Sega will not be Microsoft owned soon. And maybe after Street of Rage 4 we will also get other old Sega Series as new games by Dotemu. Fist they only made crap steam releases but since Pong Adventures Dotemu makes great Retro reimagined games

Tommy,

Will there be a Data East game play trailer anytime soon?  I'm still hoping for an update on Imagic games.  Also, is there an update with Archon?

This is part 2.  He tries to beat his record.

This could be licensing issue. I *think* Bump N. Jump is a Bally Midway name for the game while the Burning Rubber is the original name by the Japanese company Data East and probably owned by them. Would also like Bump 'n Jump but may be too tangled up to get.

I really want to do it live so I can show people everything and answer any questions.  So we're working on getting my streaming set-up as good as can be (new camera, new set-up, dedicated computer, switch box, etc.) and will try it again.  Hopefully this coming week, but I can't make any promises as we have lots of other super important things going on.  But trying for this coming week.
 
Thanks!

Happy Pre-Birthday Zee! This time next year you can be blowing out the candles on your Amico 🎂🎉

Maybe the next demo can be a Data East game?  I wonder how the Running Man game is coming along?

IIRC Coleco Brands is the most recent register of the Bump 'n Jump trademark, just like Space Fury, Pepper 2, Frenzy...but it appears they might have let those claims expire.

I'm teaching myself Unity by trying to recreate Pepper 2
