      Thanks for including the ClubVCS challenge in the tournament roundup. Donut Dodo is a fun one!

      I ended taking a break from these videos along with the Rewind videos from episodes past. I'll likely upload the Roundup videos on either Fridays or Saturdays as it seems to align better with the tournaments & challenges.

       

      Thanks for watching & spreading the word!

  16. Here’s my latest Shoutouts video ahead of Episode 33 of my show. This video features some new WRs including two records set within a few hours of each other, a record which broke a decade-old mark, and another new record which netted a $100 bounty! The video runs about 4:20 which is perfect for your coffee break. Enjoy!

     

     

  17. I apologize for the very short notice, but I'll be on Twitch at 7pm ET TONIGHT givng NES Donkey Kong Junior another go! I'll likely stream for an hour or two. Stop on by and hang out! (Bring beer, too lol)

  18. 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.

  19. I had to postpone the show to this coming Wednesday due to a lot of non-gaming stuff taking precedence. I'm working my way back to the retrogaming sites & Discords, though.

     

    (Sees @Justin's post about the '80s-90's recreating videos...)

     

    Wait, what year is this? I thought I was only gone for a week??

  20. I hope those who are in California are safe from the fires that continue to rage throughout the state. The winds appear stronger this year, making it more challenging for firefighters to contain the fires.

  21. I just posted to the Community Calendar. I hope I adhered to the posting rules. Please contact me with any corrections or questions you may have.

     

    Also, I'd like to confirm that the calendar is in accordance with our respective time zones. I'm in CA so my show tonight would go live at 6pm PT / 9pm ET. I'm hoping those in other time zones can see it listed correctly.

      Great to have you sharing your events to our Community Calendar @Marco1019 😎

  22. I managed to get PlayStation running on OpenEmu and I'm going to play Wipeout XL for the 1st time in about 20 years. This should be fun lol.

  23. I need new controllers. I'm open to all suggestions.

      I'll use your rubber band idea in hopes it will get one of these controllers open. Thanks!

      I learned that trick from Norm Abram on the PBS show "New Yankee Workshop"....and dad-blast-it, it actually works!

      I had a little bit of success with that rubber band idea. I managed to open 1 of the 2 Slik Stiks I own. I may just rip apart the other one, I don't know. I also have a Wico bat handle that is a little loose but I'll try to open that one another day.

  24. 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: 1747104821667356866?s=20https://x.com/retrowithmarco/status/1747104821667356866?s=20

  25. I purchased the 8bitdo SN30 wireless controller, mainly for Antstream but also in hopes it will work for Steam.

     

    The big question: Will Bentley Bear pick up his pace? Will he enter a full sprint or a light jog? 🤣

    1. Marco1019

      Marco1019

      UPDATE: I had no luck getting the controller to work, unfortunately. This despite the firmware update. Neither my M1 MacBook, my old MacBook, nor Apple TV will pick it up via Bluetooth.

       

      So, yeah, that Atari VCS controller is looking sleek hahahaha!
