🖖 Science fiction has always been the frontier for legitimate future predictions. Technology is what changes us more than anything else. Imagining what could be created, and what the effects are on culture and behavior, thats where genuine insight is found.

Over the past few months I've been working out and being more active. I feel better and more energetic during the day, and now look forward to exercising 😄

That special dilemma of buying old stuff that's never been opened.  Should I open them up and display the ships on my shelf?  Or leave them in the box where they can't be examined and enjoyed up close?

My project today was to repair a six switch 2600, which had a broken joystick port (pin 5 missing) and player 1 difficulty switch.  So, I "borrowed" those parts from a broken 4-port board.  It all works perfectly now, and the next step will be to add a composite mod.  Tools used were a push-button suction desoldering iron and a normal soldering iron. 
 

NEW V61 Review!
 

After a few non-gaming days & a bit of clean-up, I have completed my feature video on Greg Sakundiak and his perfect Pac-Man arcade run. This video posed some unique challenges for me as I usually edit highlight/shoutout videos for my show. Nonetheless, this was a lot of fun to create. Enjoy!
 
 

Here's a show update, of sorts...
 
Starting this Tuesday night at 9:30pm ET, I will be joining Michael Sroka of Settle It On The Screen! The show will be part recap of the latest episode of Retro With Marco (which will precede the new show) and part discussion about various retrogaming topics. It will be unscripted and a departure from my own show format.
 
Michael and I have talked about collaborating and we're looking forward to our new venture.
 
So we hope you will tune in this Tuesday night at 9pm ET for Episode 34 of Retro With Marco...
