Thomas V. Tallarico - My Papa has left us. Not only my father growing up, but we worked together for nearly 25 years every day as adults. Conquering the impossible & achieving our dreams. A part of me died with him. I will never be the same, but he will live inside of me forever.

Great words from one of my personal heroes on his special day. I hope everyone who is going through difficult times will be strong and make it through. The world needs more hope, love, positivity and togetherness.

Thank you! Appreciate the love! ❤️ The Genesis/MegaDrive was always my favorite system to work on. The challenge & reward was always fun to try & figure out. I always loved the low end & synth aspect. I would always start on Genesis first & then later convert to SNES. ❤️

On god Tommy you made the Genesis SING. Ive had a shot in the dark attempt using some GEMs samples in Sunvox and what ya pull off is wizardry. Pure wizardworks honestly. No shame in blastin New Junk City or Down the Tubes on the way to work.

Cool video from showing the differences between audio emulation vs. the original hardware. Thanks for using a few of my tracks from Earthworm Jim as examples. The most enjoyment I had in the early days was getting the Sega Genesis/MegaDrive to sound great. #Favorite

This is pilot production plastics used for the final verification of mass production tooling setup & processing. They will be used in the initial run with the contract manufacturer, giving the team opportunity to validate assembly & quality control in prep for mass production.

Thank you for helping to clear that up John. ♥️ We were referencing the final design in the video, the one you saw back in June, 2019 had the robot arm design as seen in our August 2020 video: youtu.be/6Tzx2hBHI-U?t=

I was wondering about that. I saw the video and thought 'looks the same to me!' but maybe the UI was never public until today? Either way.

Great one! Always love hearing the perspective of our games by someone who is a non-game. Mission accomplished!

Thanks for the memories! One of the audio Easter Eggs I put in this game is that every time you collected a red spot token it would play a consecutive note from the melody of the 1st level of Global Gladiators (the game the team did right before Cool Spot). ♥️🕶️🔴

That was a fun one to write! I would love to do a remake someday with a live orchestra.

Some James Bond video games had their very own theme song. The tradition began in 1999 with "Letter To Paris", performed by Elaine Paiva for Tomorrow Never Dies. It can't be heard in the game, but it features in @TommyTallarico's soundtrack youtube.com/watch?v=xHnQiN
