It's been a rough, non-gaming week & it's going to carry over into next week, sadly. The show will be postponed 1 week & will return on March 29. I'll be online sporadically until then.

Soon.

I've been mostly radio silent due to work & such, but I'm hoping to adjust that very soon. To that end, here's the teaser for Episode 99 of Retro With Marco streaming tomorrow night at 9pm on Twitch! Featuring new retrogaming records, Turrican II for the Amiga, plus a Winter Yolympics update!

Congratulations to @nads on his perfect 300 on 2600 Bowling!

Hello again! Here's the latest on my end:

All of the non-gaming stuff in my life ramped up significantly to where I postponed my Twitch show on a few occasions.

While work was rather hectic, it was still going well. However, it remained hectic throughout these summer months; I had to do a double-take when I realized it was the 2nd half of August.

Unrelated, but no less important: I went for a Wellness Visit (Physical) for the first time in far too long. I went for the proverbial full tune-up including a tetanus shot. (Wow, that part really sucked. I'm not going to sugarcoat it at all. You feel it for 2-3 days, and my body sure felt it.) The good news is that all of my vitals are normal and test results were negative. So let this serve as a reminder: Be sure to get a check-up especially if you're getting up there in age like I am.

I was hoping to stream an episode before an upcoming trip but that won't happen, unfortunately. I realized that I really hadn't kept up on any retro gaming news and world records, and I'd rather get back into the swing of things before getting back on Twitch. I had to put the MGL aside (I started off well but would have likely faded given the list of games chosen for this quarter, but I was having a lot of fun).

I'm glad to see that atari.io is still up and running smoothly and that the community here remains positive. I look forward to joining a Wednesday night chat in the near future.

2nd earthquake in as many days. They're comparing it to the Northridge earthquake (1994).

I'm so sorry for missing the weekend pizza party. The irony is that we ordered pizza for dinner on Friday night, but I was so fatigued that I not only forgot to take pics of the pie (it was a small 'special', fully loaded), but I played MAME instead of Atari! Oops!

It's always when you least expect it / don't plan for it...

I got in some MAME Punch-Out before I had to step out for dinner. I ended up with a new PB of 1.4MM. I reached Fight #50, something I hadn't accomplished in 3 decades. Go figure.

Work has ramped up since the beginning of May and my gaming/streaming has slowed. However, I'm back to playing Raid on Bungeling Bay for the C64. What do you think of the cover art?

After playing yesterday & today for the 1st time in 30+ years, I beat Karateka.

That's it. That's my update lol. I'm going to bed now.
