:Mega64

In the not too distant future, a sinister scientist named Dr. Poque (Botte) creates the most powerful video game console ever assembled. Known as the 'Mega64', this device has the power to download classic and contemporary video games into the user's brain, causing them to take on a whole new reality.{{cite web |last1=Helewa |first1=Nas |title=Mega64 is here.

While {{sic|Rocko}} and {{sic|nolink=y|Derek}} are hooked to the Mega64, the viewer sees them acting as characters in the corresponding game, interacting with ordinary people in San Diego. Another character, named Sean, is initially hired by Dr. Poque as Rocko and Derek's "e-mail delivery man" but also starts taking part in the Mega64 experiments.

Two additional characters are later introduced: a puppet named Marcus (voiced by Chatfield), who is presumably working for Poque; and Horatio (Acosta), Poque's eccentric Mexican roommate.{{citation needed|date=September 2022}}

Mega64 was originally produced to air on public-access television as a weekly TV show; However, the original five episodes were not deemed to be suitable for broadcast. Later, creator Rocco Botte pitched the show to G4 but was rejected. Through the suggestion of Tommy Tallarico, Botte decided to publish the material online.{{cite web |last1=Botte |first1=Rocco |title=SO YEAH WE WERE JUST ON XPLAY |url=http://mega64.com:80/2009/01/27/so-yeah-we-were-just-on-xplay/ |website=Mega64 |access-date=September 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090202135734/http://mega64.com/2009/01/27/so-yeah-we-were-just-on-xplay/ |archive-date=February 2, 2009 |language=en |date=January 27, 2009 |url-status=live }}

Eventually, the show was released on DVD, published through Awful Video, the publishing arm of Something Awful.{{cite web |last1=Kyanka |first1=Rich |title=Mega64: Version 1 Announced! |url=https://www.somethingawful.com/news/mega64-version-announced/ |website=SomethingAwful |access-date=17 April 2022}}

}}Mega64: Version 2, the show's second season, was released on DVD on July 20, 2006. Mega64: Version 3 was originally meant to be released in 2008, but at their PAX 2008 panel, the team stated Version 3 would most likely not be finished until early 2009.

In said podcast it was explained that British Sky Broadcasting had come under new management, and that Mega64's episodes being aired had been "lost in the shuffle". After contacting the company for the reasoning behind this, Sky representatives replied to Mega64 saying they "had asked too much money", however the Mega64 crew claims they did not ask for any amount of money.{{cite podcast |title=Mega64 Podcast Episode 77 |url=http://blip.tv/the-mega64-podcast/mega64-podcast-episode-77-12-16-2008-1591730 |website=Blip.tv |publisher=Mega64 |access-date=September 5, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150804144810im_/http://j40.video2.blip.tv/5370000564429/Mega64-Mega64PodcastEpisode7612022008613.mp4?ir=239659&sr=2154 |archive-date=August 4, 2015 |language=en |date=December 16, 2008 |minutes=16}}

Currently available through Twitch and YouTube, a podcast consisting of the Mega64 crew and various guests is released every Tuesday. The podcast premiered September 25, 2006.{{cite web |last1=Botte |first1=Rocco |title=MEGA64 PODCAST ON ITUNES, BLOGOSPHERE |url=http://www.mega64.com/news.htm |website=Mega64 |access-date=September 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061021100036/http://www.mega64.com/news.htm |archive-date=October 21, 2006 |language=en |date=September 27, 2006}} At first, it was only available in audio format, but since December 24, 2007, it has also been in video format. Since its launch, the video podcast has been featured as Mega64's main podcast, while the audio podcasts are audio extractions of the video counterparts. This is often referred to in the video podcast, with hosts or guests sometimes describing things that are happening for those who are listening to the audio-only version. As of January 11, 2009, the video podcast has been live streamed, first on Ustream{{cite web |title=LIVECAST 1-25-09 |url=http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1094399 |website=Ustream |access-date=September 13, 2018 |language=en |date=January 25, 2009 |archive-date=September 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180913223736/http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1094399 |url-status=dead }} and then on Twitch, every Sunday at 6pm PST.{{cite web |last1=Dichoso |first1=Melvin |title=XSplit User Showcase: Mega64 Interview with Eric Baudour & Garrett Hunter Part One |url=https://www.xsplit.com/blog/xsplit-user-showcase-mega64-interview-eric-baudour-garrett-hunter-part-one |website=XSplit |access-date=September 13, 2018 |language=en |date=March 2, 2016}}
