      @Marco1019 Thanks for the heads up about the date in the High Score Squad Challenge post! I got it corrected but wanted to thank you ☺️

  2. until
    Retro With Marco returns after a 4-week break to feature new retrogaming records along with a look around the retrogaming community!
  3. Q*Bert and Joust are also in the 5 Minute Challenge. I played Q*Bert ages ago & remain impressed by the port. I had never played 2600 Joust prior to the challenge & I was really impressed. The floating eggs are a nice wrinkle.
  4. This is a wonderful thread. I'm taking part in the Atari 2600 5 Minute Challenge over at TG, and it features 31 games for the Atari 2600. A few of those games have always had some personal replay value, including (in ABC order): Enduro Ms. Pac-Man Phoenix It's no coincidence that many games listed in this entire thread were designed by Actiivision. @sramirez2008, it's nice to see a Starplex as I never owned one, nor knew anyone who owned one.
  5. It's a Special Episode this Wednesday night at 9pm ET! New retrogaming records, a look at a new fanzine called Between The Scanlines, plus a lot of retro tournament updates!

      We're going live at 9pm ET! Join us in the chat!

      SPOILER ALERT: Tonight's 1st Retrogaming Records segment will lead off with Chuck Rock for the Sega Genesis!

  6. I learned earlier today on Twitter that today marks the 35th anniversary of the Sega Mega Drive! Here's a Japanese ad I found via search:
  7. Thanks for sharing! This looks really neat. I would like to give this a mention on my Twitch show. I usually broadcast every two weeks but I'm streaming a special episode this coming Wednesday which will feature retrogaming tournaments and challenges.
  8. Here is the Club VCS Fanzine segment from last night's show. This video has been edited slightly from the original airing; I did share the link in the chat. I apologize in advance for any errors during the segment; I've been juggling personal matters, one of which I talked about at the end of the show. I can say that the fanzine segment was well-received by the viewers. They pointed out the 1980s style and layout. Enjoy the segment!
  9. I featured the fanzine on last night's show and I've since edited the segment. May I share the link in this thread?
  10. Here's one more teaser ahead of The Season 5 Premiere streaming tomorrow night at 9pm ET! New retrogaming records, a new homebrew for SMS, + a look at the new Club VCS fanzine!

  11. I will feature this fanzine on my Twitch show next Wednesday night at 9pm ET.
  12. Here's the teaser for 'Season 5' set for next Wednesday , October 25! Retro With Marco will return after a long break to bring you new retrogaming records along with news from around the retrogaming community. See you then!

  13. Thanks for your post as I could not recall which game was released first. For the record, I played 2600 ESB first and then the arcade game whenever possible.
  14. Congratulations and best wishes on this venture! I will digest this one slowly, thanks to the tremendous amount of content.
  15. Thank you, @Justin, for your very kind words. Thanks to @RickR& @TrekMDfor their shoutouts as well. These Squad Challenges continue to be fun and are always a welcome break from the everyday. It's nice to be able to get back to them. I didn't play R-Type much back in the day so I will skip the October challenge. I would like to jump back into Club VCS very soon.
  16. These ads cost him his run with the WWF at the time because Vince McMahon wanted a cut, IIRC.
  17. 43,669. I played on OpenEmu for Mac OS using a PS4 clone controller. This was the result of a one hour grind session, my first in a few months.
  18. Thanks for this thread! Along with Twitter and IG, this is another fun way to look back how video games and computers were advertised.
  19. I will be on hiatus until the fall. I will return on a date to be determined.

      Hi @Marco1019, your show will be on hiatus but will you still be joining us in the forums until your show returns?

      The most honest answer is occasionally. I have jumped on Discord briefly to respond to DMs. I haven't posted much on IG or Twitter/X.

       

      Heck, I'd love to get in on this month's Squad Challenges (not to mention Dig Dug by LC Games for the Everything C64 High Score Challenge), but my time & focus is away from gaming right now.

  20. I'm pushing the show back one more time to Aug 16. My focus has been away from gaming but that will change soon. I hope you're enjoying a wonderful summer (or winter, for those in the Southern Hemisphere). I hope to see you in 2 weeks time! 🍻

  21. Hi! Sorry I've been busy (the show will be postponed again, but so it goes), but I'm pretty sure I posted 44,670. I know it's not even close to 1st (Way to go, @socrates63!), but I believe it would put me on the podium.
  22. It's been very hectic this month, so I will have to postpone the show one more week to August 2 at 9pm ET. See you then!
