    I'll do my best to condense this post. I apologize in advance if this runs long. It was believed by many 2600 gamers that the score of 60,960 on Pole Position was improbable. Scott Stilphen of Atari Compendium noted there is a photo of such a run (by Jeff Adkins), and Twin Galaxies (TG) lists the 60,960 score by Frankie Cardulla on their leaderboard (but no photo or video). Last week, on January 11, 2021, GregDeg posted a run of 60,960 on Stella. You can view his record run here. It's the first such run recorded on digital video (to the best of my knowledge). If you view the comments, then you'll read a comment from "LightBlue2222" stating he surpassed 63,000. In fact, LightBlue2222 posted a score of 63,260 on January 19, 2021 (yesterday) and that entire run with commentary can be viewed here. I did a little online research and found this thread on AtariAge. The thread, which started in 2014, does feature a few downloadable hacks of Pole Position though most appear to be cosmetic in nature. (I do have to review the thread more thoroughly.) So, with all that said, does anyone here know if a score of 62,360 is possible? Or did LightBlue222 purchase a hacked cartridge? Any context is appreciated.

    Happy New Year to all! Episode 49 of Retro With Marco will stream live on Twitch! There will be scoring and speedrun shoutouts, including a look at the run that broke the longest standing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe record. I will also take a look at the remake of Rescue on Fractalus (with a nod to @RickR who posted the video recently) and a look at a new C64 shooter from Sarah Jane Avory titled Soul Force! I will also recap a few high score challenges that are open to all! https://twitch.tv/retrowithmarco See you then!
