Evercade just revealed Metal Dragon/ Life on Mars (42), with 2 recent Sega Genesis/Mega Drive homebrews, bringing its total number of cartridge-based games to 542, not counting unlockables or anything built into hardware. Preorders for the new cartridge begin October 24, 2024, for a December release. You can see my current Evercade master list of games at this link.

Aug 24, 2024

Retro Games Ltd, the force behind the popular "The" series of plug-and-play mini and full-size (maxi) computer consoles I've been covering since 2016, including TheC64 (Commodore 64 and VIC-20 computer platform Minis and Maxis), TheA500 Mini (Commodore Amiga), and The400 Mini (Atari 8-bit computers), is now releasing a maxi based on the wildly-popular-in-the-UK ZX Spectrum platform, supporting 16K - 128K games and featuring a fully working ZX Spectrum-style keyboard.

What is the Evercade Alpha?

May 14, 2024

In late April, it was revealed that the Evercade VS-R Controller packaging indicated compatibility with an undisclosed device named Alpha, alongside existing consoles VS and VS-R. While the nature of Alpha remains speculative, suggestions lean towards an arcade-style device resembling the TAITO Egret II. This hypothetical unit would feature a rotatable built-in display and digital-only arcade controls, aiming for practicality and affordability with a potential price range of $129 - $149 USD. This aligns with Evercade's strategy of streamlined, cost-effective gaming products.
