👉 Rikki & Vikki is an awesome new game for Atari 7800. Check out @atarilbc's review: 
 

🎃 Hope everybody had a fun & safe Halloween! Had a ton of fun w/ Splatterhouse on TG16! I'll post a new Squad Challenge tonight!

👍 Be sure to check out @StormSurge's very thoughtful "Extra Life" Giveaway Fundraiser if you get a chance: 
 

I'll miss Robert Forster. What a presence. Just watched him in El Camino tonight, then saw on my phone he passed away from cancer. Was brilliant in Twin Peaks and Jackie Brown. One of my favorite actors, I'm sad he's gone.

I thought I would be able to return sooner but that didn’t happen due to all of the non-gaming stuff which consumed my daily schedule. I then decided that I wouldn’t return until I was sure I could do so without rescheduling/canceling.
Life has slowed down to where I can return to retro gaming and return to Twitch with a new episode of Retro With Marco! I hope you will join me this Tuesday, October 15 at 9pm ET / 6pm PT when I will have the following:
- High score and speedrun shoutouts
- The Toshiba Pasopia & the recent tape dumps
- A quick look at Arkandenoid for the C64
My plan for the show is to return to the bi-weekly schedule but I will keep everyone updated here, on Discord, and on other social media.

See you then!

I got a pretty nice original NES today from a friend! 

Oh guys, I'm feeling so overwhelmed at work lately.  Please forgive me for venting, but it's gotten so difficult.  Do more with less.  I just feel so bad that I can't seem to keep up. 

Sorry I haven't been as active lately. Life has been super busy, and a lot of my spare time has gone into making new videos.

👋 Update: Summer is wrapping up and we're headed into the Fall season! I hope everybody enjoyed our Summer Events this year, including the Pole Position II Grand Prix, Howard Scott Warshaw Day, and Pizza Party Weekend! We'll have some fun stuff coming up for the Fall and Winter too. I've been very busy w/ professional life and haven't been posting much. Hurricane Dorian is approaching and that will have my full attention for the next few days. I'm safe and everything is going well! I just posted the new Squad Challenge, we're getting ready for Fall by playing Ghouls 'N Ghosts on Sega Genesis. It's hard as nails, enjoy!

Recovering from oral surgery & playing 90s "B" and "C" list platformers in between icing my face.
Rayman, Bug!, Clockwork Knight, Gex, Busy & Zool are all getting some playtime.  What are some of your favorite second and third tier platform games? 

Anyone have an Arcade1up machine? Wondering about their build quality? 

I have returned!

⚠️ Having an issue with the main part of the website (not the forums) Likely Wordpress related. Working on resolving this. Will try to have the new High Score Squad Challenge up later tonight as well!

🎥 NEW VIDEO MONDAY! Here’s a throwback: a home movie I made when I was a kid, recreating the commercials for Atari Lynx. Who remembers these Lynx commercials from the ‘90s?

Here's some Shark! Shark! for Intellivision. One of my favorites.

Looking at motorcycles to complete the midlife crisis look. 😂😂😂

Whelp I just finally got myself an Atari Lynx! Not the best physical condition but it works. Gonna try to repaint the case, I think. It's the first model type. Not the more compact model 2.
