8th lutz

Blaze announced the Evercade road map today. There are 7 more collections rest of the year. 4 of those 7 collections are going to be arcade collections. The only collection of the 7 that is known is Indie Heroes Collection 2. The other 6 Collections will be announced at a later date. Arcade collections 5 and 6 are coming in August. Game Collections 27 & 28 are coming in September. Indie Heroes Collection 2, Arcade Collection 7, and Arcade Collection 8 are coming in November.

I don't know if the handheld can handle it. Its a fun game though. I discovered a youtube video that has a 3d hidden game.

The Secrets I know are in the spoilers in terms of how to get the secret games. I just discovered a 2nd secret game for Evercade VS on youtube.

The issue with Exile and Beast Wrestler has been fixed on the VS. It is part of the firmware update that also included Tapeworm: Disco Puzzle, and a new secret game. What I know is the Evercade VS system that I use was updated today.

Artwork was the only thing found for Electrocop. Here is a link to the artwork: https://atariage.com/forums/topic/105531-anyone-know-what-unreleased-game-amy-hennig-worked-on/?do=findComment&comment=1322054

You are not the only one that said the Evercade is what you wanted the Retro VGS/ Chameleon turned out to be like. My younger brother is the same way in terms of Evercade being what the Retro VGS/ Chameleon should've been. You made a wise choice getting it. The homebrew/little known carts is what I got me to Evercade.

I checked out Krikzz's twitter account. Krikzz tweet on the 24th mentioned hearing shooting time to time and is hiding in the basement as of that tweet. I got the information from this tweet link: https://twitter.com/krikzz/status/1496965485111488518?cxt=HHwWjMC50a2LpcYpAAAA All I have to saw is hopefully Krikzz is still alive.

Any of the ones I mention for the 7800 and 2600 would be good for an unlockable easter egg. Dragon's Cache, Failsafe, and Riki and Vikki for the 7800. For the 2600, A Roach in Space, Galactopus, K.O. Cruiser, Ninjish Guy In Low-Res World and Space Battle.

Draconian, and Beef Drop actually are arcade ports not using the arcade name of the games. I know about Beef Drop. I was around Atariage as a lurker when Beef Drop was worked on the 7800, but the late Ken Siders didn't get the okay at the time. Ken Siders did the same thing with Q*bert being called B*nq for the 7800.

I seen the tease also on twitter. I didn't forget that a Intellivision Collection 2 was mentioned last year as a part of the Intellivision 1 Collection announcement. I am happy that its still happening with the Intellivision Collection 2. Intellivision Collection 1 to me was one of the better 6 collections that were released. The only question is going to be what other games and if there is any homebrew games on this collection like the first collection had in Princess Quest.

I am impressed with your service already. My younger brother ordered Evercade Vs premium pack and the 4 other collections. He received them in January from your company.

Great topic. Good thing I keep a track of what games I own. My 7800 list helps me out in this case. My younger brother and I got a 7800 for Christmas in 1989. We were in Grade School at the time. We got games from 1989 to 1991. Some of the games from 1989 to 1991 were Christmas gifts in 1989 and 1990. I don't know where my parent got the 7800 games as Christmas gifts for sure. I remembered using Sears Christmas Catalog, and JCPenny Christmas Catalog's as kids for making Christmas lists. I know JCPenny in 1990 did not have 7800 games in their Christmas Catalog. I also got 7800 games JCPenny in 1989 a couple days after Christmas that year. My younger brother and I went there with our parents. The games I got there were Tower Toppler, Xenophobe, Double Dragon, Rampage and Pete Rose Baseball. I recalled getting 7800 games for Kay Bee/Circus World while discounted and I think I got 1 or 2 7800 games from Children's Palace. What we got from being discounted and get as Christmas gifts were Asteroids, Ballblazer, Centipede, Desert Falcon, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, F-18 hornet, Food Fight, Galaga, Hat Trick, Joust, Karateka, Mario Bros, Ms. Pac-man, One-one Basketball, Pole Position ii, Real Sports Baseball, Super Huey, Super Skateboardin', Touchdown Football and Xevious.

Earlier this in 2021, I beaten: Ys Origin and Ys IX: Monstrum Nox for the Switch. Ys Origin had great music and game playplay. It is bit different as YS game compare to the others that I've played. It is a dungeon crawler. The graphics are what you expect out of a YS game that uses the Ark of Napishtism game engine. That game engine is very old and Ys Origin originally came out on Computers in 2006 that happened to come out in the switch in 2020. Each character's adventure is your typical YS game before YS 7 in terms of amount of time. All 3 Characters take can take up to 10 hours each. The game does a great job of tying up loose ends and sets the events up for YS I and II great. YS IX is a pretty good game. I think a little of experience of past YS games is a good help. There are references to past YS games in YS IX. YS IX soundtrack to me isn't quite as good as YS VIII. There is still good music in the game. The gameplay is great. There is great character development for the secondary characters.

It is just the console carts. You got time with the Technos arcade cart.

Merry Christmas to Everyone.

I was given Medieval Mayhem for the 2600.

Sorry to hear about your loss of Pixel. Take as much time as You and Tonya need to go through this.

Evercade has a hotline now. That hotline has announcements for new games, new carts, and new hardware. You also find out new tricks & tips from that hotline. I know Blaze does retro, but I did not that expect that type of retro. I did not call the hotline.

There is one good thing to look at. Blaze did say they are going to release 15 cartridge next year and 9 of them are already signed. The other 6 are almost there in being signed. They mentioned they will be releasing more arcade cartridges, more indie games, and more home console classics.

I found out yesterday that my Evercade Vs is going to be delayed even longer. I didn't go through funstock. The earliest for me in January 31st. I am referring to this: https://evercade.co.uk/evercade-release-update-vs-delayed/

I've played the Nes version of Ghosts'n Goblins. What I seen last night, The 7800 looks like a great port. Night Knight is a must purchase for me based on the gameplay I've seen.

Mr. Do is not done and is not available. What you saw was a proof of concept. Darryl did that to see if Mr. Do is possible for the 7800. Pengo and Kick-Man also were proof of concept when this video was made back in August of 2021. What I can tell you is Darryl had problems with Mr. Do as a proof of concept in terms of programming. It was easier for him to do Kick-Man and Pengo. Pengo was worked on and appears to be completed as a game unless a glitch/bug is found. I don't know when Darryl is planning to do more work on Mr. Do.

There was an Evercade podcast that had Andrew and Ryan from Blaze as guests. That podcast happened Yesterday. Andrew Byatt is the managing director at Blaze Entertainment. There was a question on the podcast concerning Namco. Blaze tried to get that corrected according to them. They mentioned the Namco Europe branch had no problem with to allow the 2 collections to run on Evercade Vs., but the problem is in Japan. The Europe branch of Namco talked to the Japan branch of Namco and Japan branch opposed the 2 collections run on the Evercade vs.

Namco games failing on Evercade VS is not a bad design, or a glitch at all. You are dealing with an odd contract between Namco and Blaze. What makes it odd is Namco only allowed Blaze to release the system on a Handheld and that same contract didn't allow Namco Collection 1 & 2 to be distributed to North America online stores. How North America Ebay sellers were able to sell those collections was buying the collections overseas online and resell them for a profit. By allowing those 2 collections to be played on the Evercade vs, it would be violation of the contract. Blaze found a way to prevent the Namco collections not work on the Evercade Vs as a way not to be sued by Namco for breach of contract.

More ram was not realistic at the time for the 5200 from a stock hardware standpoint. The 5200 had 16k of ram and the 5200 cost almost $270.00 in 1982. You can make the argument of the size of the system playing a role of the cost, but the 5200 with 48k of ram or high in 1982 would cost over $270.00. Video game systems in North America were not exactly successful if they were launched at $300.00 or more dollars before the Playstation came out at $300.00 The cost of the 5200 was one of the reasons the 5200 was not a big success. My point having 48k of ram like the Atari 800 had was not affordable for price in 1982 even if the size of the 5200 itself was smaller. A smaller 5200 being cheaper would not be less than $200.00 with 16k ram in 1982. The only possible solution I could think of for what you want is an adaptor/add-on device.
