Played a couple of rounds of pool with my wife in the clubhouse and didn't do too well but to be fair it's been about 15 years 🤷🏻‍♂️I managed a couple of nice shots though. Checked my messages to see she snuck a couple of pics of me, I was concentrating too hard to notice 😝
  

Big n funky Fridays tonight! 7:30 PM Eastern-
The 7800 Pro Gamer and Funkmaster V look into their crystal funk bawls to guess, forecast and wish for what is in store for Atari's 2024. And if it ryhmes, its true. We talk about Delta Space Arena, Plutos, Madness Beverage, Harpy's Curse and the big Food Fight Culinary Combat tournament we are having in 2 weeks.  #atari #atarivcs #atarivcs 

🕯 There’s nothing nicer than working on the backend of Atari I/O by candlelight on a cold winter’s night.

Long day today, but, got my contest prize today from @Ballistik and it's a fun one! 🥳
 

We're starting to wind down the month of January and we're heading towards Episode 114 of Retro With Marco! Tune in this Wednesday night at 9pm ET and check out new retrogaming records, Turbo OutRun for the Commodore Plus/4, and the Donkey Kong Pac-Man crossover hack!
 

Ice to see you!
Our driveway is like an ice rink, but needs a Zamboni 

It was cool to see French Youtuber Manu Atari (GemTos) share out the ClubVCS Fanzine!

The recent Atari comeback was partially and cleverly fueled by this little title: a mini game tour de force with light RPG elements and boss battles. #atari #atarivcs #minigames
 

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood has become my favorite Tarantino film. When I heard “Quentin Tarantino is doing a movie about the Manson Murders” I expected a rondo of blood. What we got was something really different.

We are blizzard-ed in, so I'm playing Atari Haunted House

Well, it looks like I'll be getting a car payment for the first time in a while. I loved my MINI S 4-door. It was more fun to drive than any car I've owned since my '85 Fiero. RIP little buddy.

I think this simple post on today's announcement of the Atari 400 has been my most viewed/liked post ever on X. Over 6k views, 130 likes, tons of comments and 24 reposts. Who knew the 400 MINI would elicit such excitement? It's bizarre.

💥 PRO-TIP - Here’s a good rule of thumb for posting in the YouTube Community forum: Context is key! If the main point of the topic is about sharing a classic gaming YouTube Channel, creator, or series, w/ the intent of sparking up a long term discussion about that channel - the topic belongs in the YouTube Community forum. 
Conversely, if the main point of a new topic is about something else, like - "There's a new game out for ColecoVision" - and that post just so happens to contain a YouTube video of the gameplay etc. - that topic belongs in the ColecoVision forum. It’s more about “Coleco” than about “YouTube” and we’d put it in the Coleco forum where we would want it be seen by people interested in ColecoVision.

First big snowfall of 2024 with seemingly more to follow later this week. Will get much colder by the end of the week as well.

Finally got Namco Museum Collection 1 to go with Collection 2. Glad to have these for the Pocket! 

Has it been 5 years already?? Tune in this Wednesday night at 9pm ET for Episode 113 of Retro With Marco! Featuring new retrogaming records, Street Fighter Alpha for Genesis, Golden Axe for 32X, plus Winter Yolympics 2024!
 

Picked this up today. Fun game for $4 especially if you're into Atari 2600 Bowling 

And so it begins... the collection purge. Before I take the games to Pink Gorilla, I offered up my PS1, PS2, PS4, and Dreamcast games to a gamer couple in the local gaming group. This is what I've pulled out for them. I ended selling a couple of games (like Metal Gear Solid and Parasite Eve II) that I was intending to keep, but I am happy that they are going to people I know who will love them as much as I did.
