    Here are a few links to share... This ghost story was posted on the LongForm Reddit. Please note the content warning at the beginning of the article: https://bittersoutherner.com/we-salted-nannie-southern-ghost-story/ Re: UFOs - I recall reading an article about a UFO but I cannot locate it due to a hazy memory. I do recall there was accompanying video of the object in question. It was caught on film by a camera which was being tested. The camer would change direction every 15-30 seconds. The camera caught the UFO twice. It also caught the UFO emit a substance of some sort. (I'll circle back to the substance shortly.) I want to say this took place of Buenos Aires but, again, my memory is hazy. Anyway, there was a massive investigation which followed the event. No one was arrested or jailed. Rather, everyone who witnessed the event was questioned, examined, etc. This meticulous investigation took two years to complete. There was a press conference following the investigation. The person who hosted the press conference concluded, "We cannot tell you what it is. But we can tell you what it is not." Weather balloons and other known objects were ruled out. A French scientist asked about the substance emitted by the UFO and then concluded it was precipitation. However, it was pointed out that the substance which shot into the air vertically never fell to the ground. If I ever come across that article and/or video, then I'll post it in this thread.

    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!

    Yes, 16A. The game plan is to protect one city only. I do try to save a few cities on the first wave in order to score a few more bonus points, but it's one city after that. Plus. you can only spray three missiles at a time (unlike the arcade version) so it's best to be judicious.

    34140. I played on OpenEmu which uses the Stella core. I've played the arcade version on Antstream this past week or so. The 2600 timing is different, plus you only spray 3 missiles at a time.

    That wasn't me as I've yet to try LOL Spoiler Alert: I doubt I'll reach 7000

    My guess is the developers didn't think they could add the pie factory, given what they knew of the NES capabilities at the time. To wit: the Atarisoft version for the Commodore 64 is also missing the pie factory level.
  35. Marco1019
    Thank you for the kind words, @Justin ! I will mention this win but only in passing as I will also promote the next Squad Challenge. (I mentioned my C64 Crystal Castles run last week due to slow gaming around the holiday; the show is called Retro With Marco and not Retro About Marco.) I've noticed the participation increasing not only here but on EverythingC64 where the current High Score Challenge runs until the end of the month. There's also the Unofficial Atari VCS Discord where a Centipede tournament is underway. What's wonderful about all of this is that such communities are thriving.
