A Zombie Console Awakes - This Week In Retro 241

This week in retro we discuss the return of a console we thought was dead an buried, the Intellivision.   With two arcade focussed stories we feel old as Space Harrier turns 40 and we remember the fantastic ways that the arcade would try to immerse us in a gaming experience, all thanks to a fantastic video about the Sega R360. Pixel Addict magazine is getting ready to launch it's latest issue, with a focus on the Prince Of Persia.  Leap on over to https://www.addict.media/ to set up a subscription and to check out the special celebration of Amiga Format in the latest issue of Amiga Addict. 00:00 - Show Opening Deadl0ck’s TWiR Guide: bit.ly/TWIRGuide 04:29 - Atari Reanimates Intellivision Story Link: https://www.timeextension.com/news/2025/10/we-brought-the-rivalry-to-an-end-atari-reveals-the-intellivision-sprint Story Link 2: https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/05/atari-purchases-the-intellivision-brand-but-not-the-delayed-amico-console Intellivision Basic: https://nanochess.org/ecs_basic.html 20:32 - Total Immersion 1985 Style! - Space Harrier Turns 40 Story Link: https://www.theguardian.com/games/2025/oct/14/space-harrier-at-40-sega-arcade-yu-suzuki 32:10 - Housekeeping - News links found below 38:48 - You Spin Me Right Round Baby Right Round (SEGA R360) Story Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-LnKFILB5I Additional Link: https://www.4gamer.net/games/999/G999905/20200704005/ 51:14 - Community Question of the Week 🏆Your monthly support helps us keep the retro news flowing! https://www.patreon.com/thisweekinretro 🕸 TWiR Sub Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/thisweekinretro/ Follow your hosts!
