Hypnotic Lights

Hypnotic Lights, developed by Mattel Electronics for the Intellivision home gaming console

Is a hidden gem of retro gaming history. Originally never released as a cartridge, the game can be found on the Intellivision Lives CD-ROM, offering players a chance to experience its unique, puzzle-based gameplay for the first time.

Hypnotic Lights was conceived as a puzzle game where players shift rows and columns of colorful squares to align matching colors. The concept emerged from the experimental work of the Design & Development team at Mattel, who discovered a captivating kaleidoscopic effect while experimenting with Intellivision's graphics. This visual effect caught the attention of Gabriel Baum, VP of Applications Software, who proposed turning it into a game.

The project was handed to Steve Roney, the programmer behind Space Spartans, who was tasked with building a game around the mesmerizing graphics. Although marketing suggested a concept "sort of like a Rubik's Cube," the game never reached official status. However, Roney continued to refine Hypnotic Lights while working on other high-profile projects like B-17 Bomber, Aquarius Utopia, and Space Shuttle.

Despite never being released in cartridge form, Hypnotic Lights lives on as a piece of Intellivision history. Fans of retro gaming can now enjoy this visually stunning and challenging puzzle game on the Intellivision Lives CD-ROM, where it finally gets the recognition it deserves.
