JUST A PSA MOFO'S !!!!!! If I seem to disappear for a while after today, company coming tomorrow and through the weekend, the usual anxiety 😜and just finished all the "Preparing for company" cleaning and organizing so chilling for now. Dinner at a winery Saturday then they leave on Monday, got to focus on "HOST MODE", you know how it is.

An insightful blog post about modern-day Atari at Stone Age Gamer.

Atari VCS status from Gamestop:

PSA: It looks like Gamestop is getting out of the VCS business. The All-In Onyx Edition is cut to $99.

That's an AMD Ryzen mini-PC with 2 controllers for $99.  Even if you were going to tinker or use it as an emulation station, it's a heck of a deal.

Is anyone else constantly bombarded with Evony: The King's Return ads on YouTube or other social?

I have tried flagging these as "irrelevant" but they persist. I don't generally play mobile games and this one looks horrible. I will never play it no matter how many ads they buy.

I noticed this a few months ago, but suddenly Sears Haunted House carts CIB started going for well over $100. It’s gone down a bit, but I think it’s still around that mark.

🙁RIP - Gilbert Gottfried, iconic comedian, dies at 67 after long illness
"Gilbert Gottfried made me laugh at times when laughter did not come easily," actor Jason Alexander tweeted Tuesday. "What a gift...My best wishes and sympathy to his family." https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/celebrity/gilbert-gottfried-iconic-comedian-dies-67-long-illness-rcna24111

PSA: VCS Onyx Base Unit is on sale at gamestop for $149. Controllers are $29ea. The All-In Onyx is still $399.

This is the best deal we've seen so far on the VCS.

I wanted to post an update yesterday but this page wouldn't load for some reason. The issue was likely on my end.

Anyway, it's been hectic on the non-gaming side of life but I did manage to stream the show last night. Ironically, it was a welcome relief lol.

So if you're free today at 3pm ET or if you just want a breather from the everyday, then stop on by and check out the replay! I'm at https://twitch.tv/retrowithmarco

Here's a promo...

My next item up for sale is an Atari 1025 printer.  Local pickup in Portland, OR :) (it's HEAVY and would cost a bundle to ship).

A quick stop motion unboxing of my Black Walnut All-In VCS.

"Introducing the Atari® Pro-Line Joystick" 

WOW 😳 Just opened a box marked "board games" that had been sealed for 20 years and found these badboys timecapsuled inside. These are from 2000-2001 when this website had a web store offering new Atari systems, games & accessories.

Just realized today is Mar 10. Happy MARIO DAY everybody 🍄🦀

ME: Is it weird to talk to yourself? 🤔
ALSO ME: No.

A year or so ago I came up with the idea of a gaming battle jacket. (If you grew up in punk and metal, you know what this is.) I was struggling with a theme until Atari's new Recharged series. 

Here are the first pieces coming together! Recharged buttons and a Missile Command Recharged back patch!

Now to sew on this ginormous patch!

🏈 Hope everybody enjoyed the Superbowl! Today is the last day for 10-Yard Fight! Tomorrow we begin a new Squad Challenge for TG16
