Currently playing IS3 on the PSOne. I was a huge fan of the Jaguar games and this takes everything developers Eclipse Software learned on the two earlier titles and cranks it to 11. Like IS2, it's a bit on the hard side but still very enjoyable. IS3 was also on the Nuon.
Any fans of this or the other IS games?

The "Atari Shelf".  I've been fiddling around a lot with the 7800 and Concerto cart lately. 

Merry Christmas, all!
I'm kinda ending 2021 the same way I started it -- covid infection. Back in January, my entire family got it, and this was before vaccination. This time, my second son got it again (test confirmed two days ago). The rest of us will get tested next week. I had a mild sore throat and headache yesterday and felt like I was coming down with a cold but it was gone when I woke up today.
First half of 2021 was a very challenging time and gave me a different perspective on life, family, and friends. Looking forward to 2022 and making memories with all of you in the I/O.

MERRY CHRISTMAS - Sure I have posted before but it just came up in Facebook memories even though it's obviously much older 😆so seemed fitting to share again today since it is one of the few good childhood memories, believe me I was VERY happy just getting these at the time - That year when I got Coleco Galaxian and Pac Man mini arcades. 😆😎🕹️Also this image is so of it's time with the huge cabinet TV all the brown and gaudy decorations. Still fond memories for me though. 

Merry Christmas, everyone. 

Here is my retro-gaming loot for this year.  Good stuff! 
 

Happy Holidays! Here's a :28 promo for Episode 72 of Retro With Marco streaming this Tuesday night at 9pm ET! The show will feature A LOT of new scoring & speedrun records, a look at Re-Xevious (a remake of the classic shump Xevious) and a quick update on the Amiga A500 Mini!
 
 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of the great members and mods at atari.io!
I hope that you all have a safe and happy holiday filled with light, love and laughter... oh, and some Atari games!

Asteroids: Recharged really rocks! 🕹️🚀🪨

Hair looks like shit but I ain't combing it, it's Sunday just under a week before CHRISTMAS. In the meantime, CHEERS to all. Happy Holidays and hopes you all have a wonderful Christmas. 🎅Might be the WINE talking (it definitely IS 😆) but....I LOVE YOU ALL. This goes not only for members here but all, YES ALL staff that keeps this a wonderful site for me to visit daily. Just wanted to say it in case I forget or an too busy over the next few days even though I have no life and will likely still be here everyday up to Christmas. 🤷‍♂️

 

Woe to any person that finds one of these under the tree this Christmas!
Cute, cuddly and with a voracious appetite for mischief, the Gremlins wreak havoc in this 1986 Atari 5200 movie tie-in title. Notably, Gremlins was the last official game released for Atari's ill-fated console.

Another Christmas surprise!  I got a really nice lot of Colecovision loot from the Colecovision Lunatics Facebook group.  Magnets, stickers, etc.  It's a good group to follow if you love Coleco stuff.

Jetboard Joust on the new Atari VCS is my 2021 Game of the Year!  What's yours? 
 

A Kay-Bee ad from 1984 that is circulating on Facebook.  Wouldn't it be cool to take the DeLorean time machine back to that time with a wad of cash and buy everything in sight?

🌃 I'll see you guys in Mute City III! 
 

Anyone with a TI in their "User Icon" is okay in my book.

See you then!

I've finally completed all challenges in single player mode for Black Widow Recharged on the Atari VCS! It was probably the most satisfying gaming achievement of 2021 for me. 
The VCS version has 40 challenges, compared to 30 in other versions of the game. The 10 VCS exclusive challenges were among the most difficult in the game. There were definitely some controller throwing moments! 
What were your most satisfying gaming victories of 2021?!

I took a bit of time today to clean out the dust from my desktop PC.  Why not take a few pics while I'm at it?
