In November 2025, WFMZ-TV featured Route 22 Rampage, my Atari-style video game inspired by the stop-and-go reality of driving Route 22 through the Lehigh Valley.
The segment highlighted the game’s retro design and local flavor, from its simple racing mechanics to details like traffic congestion, potholes, and an enthusiastic horn that adds to the chaos. The goal is straightforward: weave through traffic and make it to Allentown without crashing—easier said than done.
The story was filmed inside my Allentown workshop, where the entire project came together. I designed and coded the game, produced the cartridges using a 3D printer, handled the marketing, and created the cover art. The cover image features a classic Nova photographed at the Ritz car show at the downtown fairgrounds.
The report also noted the game’s intentionally limited run,just 42 physical cartridges along with the option to play the game digitally for free online.
