I cleared all 24 levels of Bagman Strikes Back v1.3 for the C64 late last night. I was surprised yet relieved to reach the end. I was lucky to have recorded the run. I'm hoping to upload it to YouTube by tonight.

Here's the Feature Run from Episode 119: Nondrowsy reclaims the TG record for Pole Position II (Arcade) Suzuka track with a thrilling run totaling 79,600. It was fortuitous that Nondrowsy was in the chat during the show, so he provided some commentary which I highlighted on screen.

Episode 119 is going live at 9pm ET! New retrogaming records, McRaeathon 2024, plus the SACA Fundraiser!

My controller died while playing The Cosmic Tunnels for the C64. I was burnt because I was aiming to extend my PB and submit to the EverythingC64 High Score Challenge. I'm not sure my truncated run will be accepted.

This month's EverythingC64 High Score Challenge is The Cosmic Tunnels, released back in 1983 by Datamost. It's a fun, challenging game that can be frustrating at times, yet retains its replay value. I edited an 80 second clip of my PB run. Please check it out here:

I will admit that this new Atari collaboration with Cariuma has me a little intrigued. I own a pair of Cariuma canvas sneakers and they're nice, casual footwear for the summer.

I played Wizard for the C64 this weekend as it's this month's High Score Challenge over at EverythingC64. Wizard is a platformer which will remind you of Jumpman (though it was designed by another company altogether). Your wizard, named Wilfred, can gain a spell every level upon grabbing a key which is also used to escape.

I posted a short clip on Twitter: https://x.com/retrowithmarco/status/1747104821667356866?s=20
