Love the Catalog, great addition. I already sideloaded a heap of games. There are some truly talented people out there making some cool little games for it.
I'll be grabbing this for sure.
I really enjoyed the first cart.
Evercade is going from strength to strength lately.
They recently acquired the rights to the Amiga which is also great news.
Keep them coming.
I have a complete in box Pal N64 collection that includes all the Pal games that were ever released in Australia.
I bought the most expensive ones earlier before the prices skyrocketed thankfully.
My kids and I love going through my collection and playing the classics and not so classics.
I have definitely looked at getting the Everdrive for my N64 though, especially now that a lot of my games are now worth ridiculous amounts and the less I handle them the better.
I haven't opened Snowboard Kids 2 or StarCraft 64 in ages because of how much they're worth so having an Everdrive would be beneficial to help keep my collection pristine, but then I also love going through my collection like I am at Blockbuster and playing them which is the whole point of having my collection in the first place.
Wii U gamepad because of my massive man hands.
The Wii U pro was also excellent.
Before the Wii U gamepad came along I would say that for me the Wavebird was my favourite.
Joy-cons are the worst controllers ever made.
They're cramp inducing and the drift I've had with them is so bad I want to throw them.
More drift than a Fast and Furious movie
Shame to see what was once a dominating gaming empire crumble before our eyes. I grew up through their glory days as a kid and loved my Atari home console and Atari ST.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on the Wii U. I put in 600+ hours into that online (helped that Wii U was free online) and absolutely mastered most of the characters. The ability to customise your characters into virtually anything was also amazing.
Great to see the right people being credited for their amazing work. Without them my complete N64 collection could look a lot different. Thankyou for creating the easiest way to plug and play.
Scart was not as widely used here in Australia compared to composite.
I have a widescreen crt tv that has scart on the back along with other options.
I bought a scart adapter for it when I bought it years ago that is very handy as I can plug in composite, component and S-Video into it through the adapter.
So I can use any of them.
I remember when these came out in the arcades in the 80's (best time to be a kid btw) and hearing the Booming sound coming from Space Ace, Dragons Lair.
People lined up to play them, until they did and realised that they really only directed the game more than played it.
They were very nice cabinets but the lack of real gameplay meant that only the real enthusiasts wanted to keep going back and people lost interest in them pretty quickly.
I hate the wait for these Collectors Editions but without companies like this we'd never have them.
I pre-ordered the Taito Milestones Collection this time last year from SLG and only got the notification that it has finally shipped this week.
Good things come to those who wait......and wait .........and wait...
@AJB83 Yeah, Xeno Crisis is awesome. Roadsters is a lot of fun and one of the better racing games on the 64. Glad I'm not the only one that enjoys it.😁
Roadsters on my N64. Mario Sparks of Hope on my Switch. Yet more Just Cause 3 on my PS4. Some Xeno Crisis on my Evercade in preparation for my Exp. Have a great weekend everyone.
@N00BiSH
I have the Playdate as well, great little console.
The Evercade systems are for those that want to play retro games they might have grown up with but want them on a reliable system that is cheap and in physical form.
The carts come with manuals and cases, the quality of the emulation is superb.
Also, the Evercade systems are very well made and have one of the best D pads in the market.
So for people like me, collectors who want an easy way to play retro games either anywhere or on a large screen in a physical form.
I also have multiple Switch consoles but I prefer to play my retro games handheld on the Evercade as it is way more comfortable and doesn't have drift.
I use my Vs console on my large screen and love the fact that it allows dual cartridge loading and prefer playing my retro collection on that than my Switch any day.
@Tasuki
I have both the original and the Vs.
The Vs (home console) is a great machine and I love playing my carts on it.
Also, some extra games can be unlocked if you put 2 carts in the console (which is one of the best ideas in a long time), depending on the carts.
It is a great little bonus worth trying out the different combinations of carts to see if they unlock extra games.
All of them.
I don't care about cost as I don't own any of them.
Let me throw money at you Sega.
I own both Nintendo Mini's, Megadrive mini, Turbografx mini, Astro City Mini and a C64 mini.
These are great ways for people like me who have lost, sold or thrown out their old consoles after breaking them.
It is also a chance to play games people may have missed out on.
Just Cause 3 on my PS4, the game that keeps on giving.
So much stupid fun.
Also side-loaded Tavern Tapper on my Playdate which is pretty much an arcade port of Root Beer Tapper that uses the crank to fill the glasses.
Ver y good use of Playdates unique feature.
Great read. I used to own an original Wonderboy cabinet. It was great fun but the constant repairs and maintenance became too much for me then so I sold it to a fellow enthusiast. I now own 3 Arcade 1up machines which are great fun to build with my kids and good value. They aren't the same as the original arcade machines but they're a great alternative with a lot less maintenance.
I remember seeing this in the shop windows in the late 70's when I was a kid and wanting one. It looked so futuristic back then and I had never seen anything like it.
Great story and it brings back some good memories, thanks.
I have a mix.
I use original hardware for my N64 and since I have complete Pal N64 games collection I don't need anything else for it.
I also have an original PS1 that is chipped and I have all my games backed up and easily available for it.
I also have the NES, SNES, C64, Megadrive, Turbografx and Astro City Minis as I like the plug n play ease.
I also have both the original Evercade and Evercade Vs and will be getting the Exp as well for the same reasons as above and their quality when it comes to emulation is superb.
@MegaWatts
Thanks, yeah Starcraft is silly expensive these days.
I bought the Turok comics seperately, I have a fair few of them that I found at a second-hand shop and hadn't seen them before.
They're a nice addition to my collection and I am now on the lookout for more as they're quite good.
Funny how one thing leads to another 😁

Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite Game Of Christmas 2012?
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on the Wii U.

The ability to customise your characters into virtually anything was also amazing.
Also ZombiU and Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U.

Re: Poll: Which Evercade Cart Do You Want To See Next?
I want them all.
As far as specific machines I would like:
ZX Spectrum Collection.
Vic 20 Collection.
BBC Micro Collection.
Atari ST Collection
Amiga Collection
There are so many games from my childhood that I would absolutely love to see on my Evercades.
Re: Evercade EXP - Superior In Every Way That Matters
Mine arrives in a couple of weeks, can't wait.
Glad it improves the original in every way.
Love both my Evercade products and the game list is growing nicely.
Still a lot of room for more compilations in the future too.
Keep them coming.

Re: Poll: Which Old-School AV Connection Is Your Favourite?

Turned it on to "test" it and 2 hours flew by.
Sad news, thank you for your contributions to one of my favourite N64 games.
Re: Hands On: Evercade's New Carts Come With A Few Surprises
Can't wait for my Alwas Awakening and Cathedral cart.
I have it pre-ordered along with my EXP so I'll have to wait but I'm sure it will be worth it.
I'd love to see more of these type of carts, maybe an Infernax cart.
I'd snap that up in a heartbeat.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 29th)
Bayo 3 and Infernax on Switch, still having a blast with Just Cause 3 on my PS4 and probably throw on Unirally on my SNES.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 22nd)
Just Cause 3 on my PS4, the game that keeps on giving.
So much stupid fun.
Also side-loaded Tavern Tapper on my Playdate which is pretty much an arcade port of Root Beer Tapper that uses the crank to fill the glasses.
Ver y good use of Playdates unique feature.
Re: Celebrate, Amiga Games Are Coming To Evercade

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 9th)
Probably pick something from my N64 collection, Robotron 64 is usually a good game for short bursts.
Also playing Whitewater Wipeout on my Playdate which is a great little game that uses the crank well.
