  1. Here's another last-minute promo for Episode 91 streaming TONIGHT AT 9PM ET! Featuring new retrogaming records, a look at the NEScathlon lineup, + a quick look at the C64 OS!

     

     

  2. I've decided to tinker with my Tournament Roundup video schedule, in part because I fell ill a few days ago and in part because of the schedule of various tournaments and challenges.

     

    So my plan is to create & upload a new Tournament Roundup video later today with the aim of a Friday schedule.

     

    I've also decided to sprinkle my "Rewind" clips, at least for the time being.

  3. I'm getting over a stomach issue from Sunday, so this week's show has been pushed back to Thursday, September 22 at 9pm ET. See you then!

      This sat in the draft because I thought I posted it, so my apologies. But it's still a good video! 😅

  12. Here's my latest Tournament Roundup which aired during tonight's show! Both Club VCS & Atari.io Squad Challenge were highlighted - @Sabertooth @Justin

      Thanks so much for getting out the word. So many great challenges and tournaments!

      There's a lot going on and I've enjoyed discovering and learning more about them.

  17. Here's the promo for Episode 86 of Retro With Marco streaming Wednesday, July 27 at 9pm ET! Featuring new retrogaming records, new homebrews for C64 & NES, + a quick look at the Lego Atari 2600!

     

  18. It dawned on me a few days ago: Tron would make for another great Pizza Party Summer Watch Along....Event Thing! (I'm still waking up, y'all.) After all, Tron is celebrating its 40th anniversary!

     

    HOWEVER, there are a few problems.

     

    While Tron is available on Disney+ for subscribers, it's a rental on Amazon ($3.99). The bigger problem is this: If you have Prime and want to host a Watch Party, then everyone who wants to attend your party must also rent the movie. Yeah.

     

    (My suggestion would be for the Watch Party host to pay more in exchange for the party attendees to view for free. Amazon is fine. They don't need $4 from 10 viewers for a party.)

  19. Here is your Tournament Roundup for July 20! This video features updates on Antstream, Club VCS, Master System Challenge, Summer Yolo 2022, EverythingC64, Speedrun World Record Circuit, & Australian Kong Off V!

     

     

  20. It's early, but The Cyriss Zeal and I are looking to collaborate in the near future. One obstacle is logistics as he is based on the East coast & three hours ahead of me. But we're hashing out details and hope to make a formal announcement in the near future.

     

    In the meantime, please give him a follow on Twitch (which I linked above) and on Instagram.

  21. Here's a highlight from tonight's show featuring Barra reaching the Donkey Kong killscreen, setting a new PB in the process. Bara's score of 1,178,400 vaults him into 9th place on Donkey Kong Forum!

     

     

  22. Back after a break and gearing up for Episode 85 of Retro With Marco! Tune in tomorrow night at 9pm ET and check out the following:

    • New Retrogaming Records, including a pair of 5-year-old records which were broken
    • A look ahead to the Australian Kong Off V
    • Prince of Persia remastered for the Sega Mega Drive

    Here's the promo...

    https://twitch.tv/retrowithmarco

     

    See you then!

  23. Here's a new feature which I will upload between shows: It's a tournament & scoring challenge recap from the world of retrogaming, including the Club VCS Reloaded Squad Challenge. It's work in progress but I want to get the debut uploaded. Check it out! (Thanks to GibGirl at Lvl Up Score for the idea!)

      I saw this (& RT) on Twitter. Thanks so much for helping to get the word out! Very cool!

      I'm glad you enjoyed it! I won't be able to showcase every event given that it will be uploaded between shows (though I'll create a new video next Wednesday as the show is off until July 13).

  24. Picking up from where I left off here a few days ago, along with a little backstory...

     

    I'd love to do a weekly show but I just don't have enough free time. This is why my Twitch show is bi-weekly. One plan was to alternate weeks with Michael Sroka who hosted Settle It On The Screen. He has less free time than I do lol. So it goes, right?

     

    If you watched my most recent show (Episode 84; check it out if you haven't done so 😉 ), then you noticed that I made the "Tournament Roundup" segment a permanent feature going forward. This was borne out of a wonderful idea by a fellow gamer & friend, GibGirl.

     

    So what I will do between shows is create & upload a short video (anywhere from 3-5 minutes) which will provide updates on some scoring challenges & tournaments taking place in the retrogaming community. There are a lot of challenges going on right now: Atari.io Squad Challenge & Club VCS, EverythingC64 (which will restart on July 1), the M.A.M.E. Gaming League (MGL), & AtariAge 2600 High Score Club are just a few examples of that. That's not counting classic arcade gaming tournaments on CAGTournaments.com or the Galaga League. In addition, I was alerted to the #MasterSystemChallenge on Twitter (run by @8BitBoyUK) and the Mameister's High Score Kerfuffle hosted by LondonRetroVideoGames. These are all communities which foster fun retrogaming and welcome gamers from all over the world.

     

    I won't be able to provide updates on everything, hence the goal of a 3-5 minute video. But it will be fun to learn and track what's going on in retrogaming. I'm aiming for either June 29 or July 6 for the first video as the show will not return until July 13. I will share future videos here as well as on my social media accounts (Vimeo, Twitter, Instagram).

  25. Here's the promo for Episode 84 of Retro With Marco streaming TONIGHT AT 9pm ET! New retrogaming records, a preview of the 7th Annual Tecmo & R.B.I. Tournament in Omaha, plus a look back at the May 2022 Classic Tetris Monthly semifinal!

      FYI - @Justin , @Sabertooth - The Atari.io challenges will be updated on the show going forward. Please feel free to keep me posted on future challenges. I'll do my best to keep tabs on here & other sites, but there may be times (like, for example, this week) when I lose track.
