SynaMax made another cool documentary! This is about arguably the first rhythm game ever: Jammin'.
I love Atari Games-era Atari... games, so this is a great capsule if you're into obscure Atari history.

So Atari's Jammin' prototype has been recovered from VAX tape backups by SynaMax, Dutchman2000. I've hooked it up in MAME, it runs on some kind of Donkey Kong kit hardware with extra YM2151.

This documentary is great! Kudos to SynaMax for his incredible work to bring back all the discarded features of Sinistar. He went down the assembly language rabbit hole and made it his primary residence.

It also fills in a significant gap in the history of Williams video engineering after the Vid Kidz went out on their own but before the crash. Synamax also got interviews with key players on the team. Just incredible stuff. And some Star Rider thrown on the end for good fun.

SynaMax is in a very tough housing and transportation situation and could really use some help. He's done great work as an audio detective and reconstructioner.
Here's a way to show your support if you've enjoyed his Metroid-style tracks or the recent Sinistar documentary.

My online contact, SynaMax, did a video on how he restored the soundcode to Sinistar. It was recently seen by Sam Dicker! This is huge!
For those who don't know Dicker was part of the design team of both Sinistar and Defender!
