This week's show, originally postponed one day, has been postponed until next week. My partner was diagnosed with COVID over the weekend. She does have severe symptoms, fortunately. We also reside in a townhome which affords ample space. So I will be spending this week tending to her and ensuring she regains her health. To that end, she was prescribed Paxlovid and it is helping her recovery.

The new show dates will be Wednesday, October 26 and Wednesday, November 9. I will then take a short break due to personal matters before returning for a show in early-to-mid December which will be the "Season 3" finale. I hope to return in January for the start of "Season 4".

I'll upload a few videos in the meantime, including a head-to-head video which I planned to air as a segment.

Happy Holidays! Here's a :28 promo for Episode 72 of Retro With Marco streaming this Tuesday night at 9pm ET! The show will feature A LOT of new scoring & speedrun records, a look at Re-Xevious (a remake of the classic shump Xevious) and a quick update on the Amiga A500 Mini!

Rest In Peace, John Madden.

I would have posted this in a forum, but which one? Consider: There is a generation of gamers (and probably non-gamers) who have NO IDEA about John Madden, the NFL analyst whose everyman style and extensive knowledge of football  transformed sports broadcasting. Heck, I'm sure the same generation has NO IDEA John Madden won over 100 games in 10 years as the Head Coach of the Oakland Raiders, and did so in an era when the NFL season was only 14 games. (His .759 winning percentage was 2nd all-time when he stepped down as Head Coach.)

Lest we forget the Lite beer commercials!

John Madden Football went from the PC to the Sega Genesis & Super Nintendo to the stratosphere.

What a legacy.
