I kind of regret picking up the Taito Super Pocket and should have known something like these collections would come to the Evercade. The Super Pocket is neat, but the screen is a bit too small for some of these arcade titles.

@Metazoxan
It was 100% NOT ahead of its time. It was based on stereoscopic slide viewers from the late 19th/early 20th century, LOL.

It wasn't "ahead of its time"; it was poorly designed, and was literally a pain to use. A lot of people who never tried to play one are going to find out soon enough, I guess.

I guess they'll be reviving Ninjabread Man next.

The only thing I like about Gizmondo is that anybody who gets one has to clean off the gooey coating.

It reminds me of Taco Bell, the way the same ingredients get juggled around slightly to make "new" menu items.

This looks so much like the Anbernic device I bought, like, 8 years ago.

I bought Bubble Bobble 4 Friends when it came out and... it was OK. Nothing to write home about and so much visual clutter. It didn't really seem like Bubble Bobble.

At last, the Mega 2DS nobody asked for.

It's becoming increasingly obvious that nothing of value will come of this.

@The_Nintend_Pedant
I think the trend is "opening a retro arcade and going out of business within one year," which, obviously, remains to be seen.

I was a Mac user back in the day, so I have very fond memories of Hexen, one of the few good FPS games available for the platform. So, so good.

Gross, looks awful.

Doing something like this is one thing, but trying to get attention for it and, for instance, making a trailer, is just asking for it.

@KingMike I assume it was done on a work-for-hire basis, and Way Forward retained zero rights for their work, as would be typical for licensed products like this. I assume the same is true for their excellent Wendy the Witch Game Boy game, which has never been re-released.

Can't imagine anybody paying that much for a reskinned mobile game from, like, ten years ago. That their original investors haven't sued is a real miracle. And everybody still involved with the company is hardcore MAGA.

So the entire thing is people looking just to the side of the camera and talking, presumably intercut with game footage. Sounds utterly thrilling.

I've got the Taito Super Pocket and it's superb.

Good luck, man. Hopefully he won't go all Amico on us.

This is where we pretend that meh old games were good old games.

@slider1983
I'll... take your word for it!

The New 3DS XL has a much more robust build quality than the 2DS XL, which just seems designed to cut costs everywhere.

CueCat has joined the battle!

Americans just have to take British people's word for it that Jeff Minter is famous.

LRG really is a garbage company. It should go without saying that when you buy a brand new game, it shouldn't be made with used components. Come on, now!

Celebratory Digital Clock?

Is this a "hidden gem" people are clamoring for?

"long before the internet existed"

I was on CompuServe in the early 1980s. Do you mean the World Wide Web?

@PXAbstracftion Amen to that.

Bring back Wendy: Every Witch Way. Hard to believe the license for that character could be all that expensive.

LMAO, wow, it plays Pong.

8 or 9 people are going to be so excited about this (and I am jealous of them).

A controller! How jaw-dropping!

I already have an older Anberic device that plays games through the SNES perfectly, so I don't need this, but it's great that they ripped off the best Game Boy form factor. They are kind of flying close to the sun when it comes to trademark and patent infringement.

I think there's room for more Duke Nukem.

It's all so mature.

I'm concerned that only four or five of these new emulators are announced every month. What if we run out?

@PXAbstracftion Unless they give him money, in which case he'll do a puff piece on it.

I have the Taito edition of this, and it's such a cool handheld. I haven't taken advantage of the Evercade compatibility yet, but I really like it.

It's a decent puzzle game.

I love this company. Like, I never thought that obscure arcade platformers like Liquid Kids would ever be available again. They do it right and reasonably priced.

Wow, you guys are really pushing this thing.

New! Super expensive way to play the worst games nobody fondly remembers!

@KitsuneNight It was a housemate's Macintosh 128K, I believe? It was definitely monochrome.

I used to play Rogue on the Mac endlessly in the early 80s.

@Blast16 Agreed on the Wii U pro controller, my all time favorite. I use it to play emulated games on my Mac, and it's perfect. My other favorite dpad is the clicky one on the DSi.

I'm a copyright professional, so it makes me laugh how they obscured all the game labels and logos on the GBA on the cover because clearing rights for front cover usage = $$$$$. Smart move!

Ha ha, this will look awful, but seems like fun!

Knowing Konami, it'll be a Parodius-themed pachinko machine.

What's odd about this is that PC games weren't really ever distributed like this, so that kind of removes the nostalgia factor that plays so heavily in retro physical releases. "I remember buying games on cartridges" is a thing; "I remember buying games on a thumb drive in a box" is not a thing.
