Justin

Wife having check up at eye clinic, I am waiting in hall outside, 2nd floor wifi on iPad 😝
 


 

I've been pretty quiet or only active in short sporadic bursts. Just wanted everyone to know that I'm still around. I've just been busy with work, family, and going to the gym regularly (lost a few pounds and some gained muscle). I haven't had the time nor energy to play video games for the past couple of months, but the mind is willing!
It's cool to see all the forum updates that Justin has been doing lately 👏 👍

🎃 Have a spooky Halloween!

My GF surprised by me with these socks for Halloween. I couldn't help but think of the @Atari Creep! 
 
Happy Halloween everyone! Atari.io is the best forum on the net. As the Creep might say: Creep it real!

Time to practice my legal skills. 

The Atari VCS version of Centipede Recharged has 10 exclusive Challenges. They are much harder than the first 30 and have some nice references to the classic sprites. I've got one left to clear!

Here's a quick update on the show & my gaming for the near future...
 
Episode 68 of Retro With Marco will air TONIGHT AT 9PM ET! If you can't make it, then check out the REPLAY on Thursday at 3pm ET!

I know @Justin was kind in touting the show following the Missile Command Squad Challenge, and thank you for that plug. I am normally on Tuesdays but non-gaming stuff has forced an upcoming schedule change.
Episode 69 will air on Wednesday, November 17 at 9pm ET. I will be away for the first half of November and I will be unable to stream shows, much less get in a lot of gaming.
Episode 70 will air on Tuesday, November 30 at 9pm ET. It's scheduled after the Thanksgiving holiday here in the States.
 
So stop on by the stream tonight & check out some new gaming records along with new homebrews for the NES, GameBoy, and ZX Spectrum!

🥳 Wishing Lance @Video 61 a very happy birthday!

I've got a short 3 day trip to Reno, NV coming up soon.  I've never been.  Anyone have any "must-do" or "skip that" suggestions?  I'm not too interested in gambling but love things like museums and nature/hiking/exploring.  I haven't decided if I'll get a rental car.  One thing I'm considering is finding a way to get over to Lake Tahoe for a day. 

Me, when my wife goes to pick me up some Guinness but instead returns with this assortment. 😮😜🧐🍺🤟
