That Crazy Burger video speculated on more arcade titles too like Jaleco, Sega and Konami.
As for 5200 games, that might be a bit trickier. Only 69 games were officially released - not many to pick from, unless they go for reproductions or prototypes. I'm not sure if we'd see licensed properties on an Atari 5200 collection like Ms. Pac Man (Namco), Mario Bros (Nintendo), Congo Bongo and Zaxxon (Sega). That said, some of my picks for 5200 titles would be Qix, Berzerk, Super Breakout, Vanguard, Beamrider, Pitfall 2: The Lost Caverns, Miner 2049er and Rescue on Fractalus.
At this time, I'm under the impression they are not exactly looking at the 5200 to be one of the systems on Evercade.
If Blaze does Atari 5200 games on Evercade, Activision 5200 games might be possible.
I do remember earlier this year that one of the Blaze Employees was on Open every box Pete's Evercast. At the time, that employee mentioned they have talks with Activision for Activision 2600 games and Imagic Intellivision games. I don't know how those talks went and I didn't know Activision owns rights to Imagic games.
My thinking is if Activision 2600 games are going to be on a Collection, we should know before the end of 2022.

Do you have the Evercade handheld and/or is this VS on your radar?
I have the handheld. VS was pre-ordered back in May. I am looking forward to receiving the VS in January and discover the hidden games the VS has.

Evercade VS - A Low-Cost Gateway To Past Nintendo Classics And Much More Besides - Nintendo Life
Nintendo Life gave a rave review to the Evercade VS console. This review along with the video review by Metal Jesus (posted elsewhere) changed my mind. I'm now getting a unit of my own!
What do you think of the reviews?
They were good reviews. I also like the fact they didn't reveal the hidden games during the review.

Blaze has mentioned in the past that the Jaguar is no go for the Evercade due to quality of Jaguar's emulation.

Man I'm super saddened by this.. there are just a few people on AA I feel an affinity with or feel like I "know", and Nukey was one of them. He was there from the start of this whole AA experience spanning the 2 decades. Anyway, although many of you might predictably mock this, it doesn't matter to me: He is 100% in my prayers.
I do not believe mocking people that pray or people that died.
People that mock other people for praying is a disrespectful move to put it mildly. People mocking deaths is disrespectful also. I've prayed plenty of times including those in life threatening situations.
Praying is normal including for what you did for Nukey Shay.

I am shocked and is very sad to hear. He was a big contributor here on Atariage.
Condolences go out to his friends and family.

I am not into boxed game collecting, but I am happy the whole thing is being revealed now. I hope the bubble busts now and correct the inflated prices caused by those shady people. I hope Wata Games and Heritage get close down. Those people ruin the hobby of video games.
It bothered with the cost of games that are loose in terms of cost. Boxed boxes affects the loose copies of game prices. I thought something was off with the cost of games like Mario 64 and this video proved my concern was correct. When that video revealed the buyers aren't real video game collectors at all causing these prices, it irked me very much.
I like to get physical games and I've been this way since the 1980s. In time, I got systems that I did not have growing up such as the Sega CD. What Wata games and Heritage is doing is not helping me at all by causing the prices to increase due to their actions.
I hope Midwest Gaming Classic is going to do something to Wata games. Wata Games is listed as one of the Vendors at the November Midwest gaming Classic event that happens from November 5th to November 7th.
Hopefully the organizers decides to not allow the Wata Games in or prevent people from that booth from buying games at the event from other venders.

So has anybody in the US had issues getting Evercade preorders through Amazon? Apparently there are issues going on with Amazon but I can't find any info on what the issue is but still haven't gotten the Indie Heroes cart I preordered in April and the game released near the end of June. My bigger concern has been is this going to happen to all the future releases? I have the VS and the Intellivision collection preordered and all Blaze Entertainment is saying is to buy from another retailer. I noticed the only retailer in the US with the Indie Heroes cart is Funstock which is selling it at a higher price hell I've noticed all the newest releases starting from the Lynx collections are all being sold at higher prices then the retail price.
My younger brother stopped using Amazon last year for Evercade. Amazon last year canceled an order that had 2 games pre-ordered. My younger brother since then has been pre-ordered Evercade games through Funstack and Songbird. The Evercade VS was pre-ordered through Songbird.

New restock in a couple of days for Super NT and Mega SG, according to that article.
Good thing I already own them because I do want to go against people that order 2 Super NT systems.
Hopefully Analogue does not allow stuff like people buying 2 Analogue Duo systems when it is time to pre-order the Analogue Duo.

They announced dates and gave out a time frame.
People that pre-ordered Polymega from 2018 to April 2020, will start to get their orders shipped on September 12th. Complete fulfilment of orders from 2018 to April 2020 is anticipated by the end of October.
The orders place after April 2020 through 2021 will be delayed till first half of 2022. The GC01 Light Gun will be delayed till the first half of 2022.
The Launch of Digital game store happens Holidays 2021. They didn't give an exact date.

I own all 3 since the 90s and all 3 are great Sega Genesis games. Shadow Dancer is a very good game despite me not being a fan of 1 hit deaths. Revenge of Shinobi is one the early Genesis games.
Shinobi III to me is the best of the 3 Shinobi Genesis games.

Sorry if I seem stubborn on this, but if I’m not utterly mistaken, the 2 Atari Lynx Collections were compiled by a (third party) company buying the licenses of all these Lynx-games from a ton of different production-companies, and still went with releasing them for the Evercade.
So why couldn’t at least a couple or handful of companies come together, buy the necessary licences and release 2-3 5200-compilations?
The Lynx Collections had games Atari has rights, Songbird has rights to, and the company that owns the rights Epyx games. The 5200 is not that simple.
Blaze wants the rights to Activision 2600 games, but the asking price appears to be an issue according the May 2021 youtube interviews with people that are part of Blaze Entertainment. They did not come out and say price is an issue, but the comments seem to indicate it is a problem at the time with the price. I am sure that is true with the Activision Intellivision and Activision 5200 games also.
Frogger II is an unknown to me for the rights of the game. Konami does own the rights to Frogger, but Parker Brothers developed and published the sequel.
Blaze and Namco has some issues that need to be worked out and doing any 5200 games is out the question at this point. The 2 Namco Collections can't work on the Evercade vs due to agreement. Blaze back in May mentioned they wanted to work it out with Namco.
Ballblazer is currently owned by Disney due to them buying Lucasfilms. I think Disney is really not aware of the games Lucas did that are not Indiana Jones or Star Wars. If Disney finds out, I have a bad feel about the asking price. I have experience with Disney for theme park vacations and the hotel costs are insane there. If Blaze is able to contact Disney and make an agreement, Ballblazer would be part of a Lucas Collection in terms of game console and computer games instead of a collection that only has 5200 games.
Konami and Sega are unknowns at this point. I know people want those companies games on Evercade, but hasn't happen unless there is stuff behind the scenes that is not announced yet.
Since the 2 Lynx Collections came out, something big did happen. Evercade announced 4 arcade collections for the Evercade. This is a big deal for 2 reasons. Atari Collection 1 & 2, and Atari Arcade Collection 1 has some of the same games. I would be guessing there would a Atari Arcade collection 2 at some point. The Atari 5200 would cause stuff like 4 different versions of Centipede on the Evercade. Some people would view stuff like that as overkill. Atari 5200 is better off with the non arcade titles, but there is not a lot of those that Atari published for the 5200.
The 2nd reason this is a big deal for Evercade having Arcade collections is due to people want the arcade versions of the game, not the console ports. There had been comments about the Data East, Technos and Namco Collections back in 2020 that want the arcade versions of the games instead of the SNES, Genesis, and Nes versions. Having a 5200 version of Moon Patrol would cause the same complain unless Moon Patrol the arcade game has emulation problems for Evercade.

Yeah, if there are no 5200 games on the current Atari Evercade carts, I really doubt they'll make another one.
I thought back in May that one of the employees of Blaze mentioned one of the Youtube live streams that they have no plans on having 5200 games on Evercade.

This is a big surprise. I lost track who owned the rights to the company. Its a good pick for doing a collection. The company published games that is now known as hidden gems. It is a good Collection.
I knew Renovation games on the Genesis very well. I own a lot of Renovation games and I think own almost all the games on Renovation Products Collection 1. Whenever I saw Renovation Products name on a box, it was company that I get excited about. I first got into Renovation back in the 90s as a Genesis owner.
I will be getting this collection.

My recollection is that I read extremely strong hints that Blaze have been in talks with Taito. That is one company that could churn out ten cartridges or more and I would buy every one.
Taito is owned by Square Enix now. That opens up more possibilities depending on the price. Square Enix also owns Eidos.

I am asking that because Limited Run games announced Plumbers Don't Wear Ties for Playstation 4, Playstation 5, PC and Nintendo Switch at E3. I am not going to get the game at all.
I remembered reading 3DO game reviews back in the 90s and FMV games was one of the things 3DO was known for as a game console. I am not interest on a 3DO to this day.
I know there is market for some FMV games since Limited Run released games like Night Trap.
I don't think there is a modern market for releasing games that were originally on the 3DO game console.

It is unknown when Galaxian is not going to be released on Atariage store. Albert is right now catching up on pre-orders.
Bosconian is not being worked on for the 7800 at this time to my knowledge.

1 hour ago, BuddyBuddies said:We found a portion of a time card that identifies the SKU numbers of other unreleased 7800 games. Its interesting because it lends more credibility to the fact they were probably pretty far along. This test department time card was found on the same drive as Toki. Road Riot and Rampart were NOT found on the drive. I don’t post much in the 7800 forums so I don’t know if this is anything cool but here ya go.
Part of a time card is a good find. While Road Riot not being found on the drive, it does prove the game was worked on at some point.
I know an early version of Rampart was found for the 7800 back in the 2000s. It might have been the version the time card referred to, but it is a guess.

Nope. It can do it all by itself. It doesn't do it well, but it is absolutely capable of doing it without any additional hardware.
I see you ignored me mentioning Doom and Virtua Racing. My point of that that post you quoted me was the games I mentioned would've turned of turned out extremely bad. Doing it and Doing it decent are two different matters. Sega had its SVP for Virtua Racing because of how poorly the game would've turned out otherwise.

Well, it can actually display all 512 colors on screen at once if you use Blast Processing. It can also do 3D by itself as it is without the need for any additional hardware. Go play LHX Attack Chopper or F22 Interceptor if you want to see it. These games run at super low frame rates, but they are in 3D and they have absolutely no additional hardware.
Yeah, but I'm guessing Frozone212 is talking about stuff like Doom, Virtua Racing and Virtua Fighter. The Genesis like the SNES needed an extra chip for stuff like Virtua Fighter in 3d with polygons.

I didn't play the Phantasy Star series in order or how I beaten them. Back in the 1990s, I first played Played Phantasy Star 2, 3, and 4 by renting them. I did not play Phantasy Star 1 before 1999. I did not get a SMS converter or the system it self before 1999. Back in the late 80s, I was into the 2600 and 7800. I didn't get a NES before 1991 and get the Genesis in 1992.
I did beat Phantasy Star 1 with a online map. I thought it was a very good RPG on a 8 bit game console.
It didn't affect the enjoyment at all. I beats 2,3, and 4 in the 90s. Beaten 3 first and got all the endings.
Phantasy Star 3 was the first I beaten. I did all the endings. I had the guide book for 3.
2 was a royal pain to beat. What got me was one of the dungeons for the Nei items. The dungeons for the items were difficult from a navigation standpoint even with an online map. Phantasy Star 2 did not have a bad sound track for a Sega Genesis.
I ended up beating Phantasy Star 4 before 2. Phantasy Star 4 to me was a very good rpg and not as frustrating as Phantasy Star 2. I recalled getting it on clearance for $29.99. I recalled RPGS that came out in the mid 90s on game Cartridges were not cheap. It was not just a Phantasy Star 4 thing. I recalled similar stuff with SNES RPGS from the mid 90s in price.

When was this released? I don't recall ever seeing it mentioned or sold before, and I don't own it, and I had pretty much everything homebrew for the 7800 at one time.
The game was released in 2020 by video 61 like it was already mentioned.
There are 2 reasons why this game wasn't mentioned much. The first problem is the programmer was banned here on Atariage in 2019. He was banned after decided to create sock puppets accounts after being warned not to with them being shill accounts. Even before he banned, those games were going to be release on Video 61 instead of Atariage and meant those not going to get great recognition to begin with since Atariage gets more views for homebrew games on youtube than Peter Myer's youtube videos does.
The game was mentioned here 2 times at least though in 2020. Dauber created a feedback thread on the game in 2020, but it ended up locked.
The game also was on the list part of this thread: https://atariage.com/forums/topic/301937-atari-7800-homebrew-completedwip-in-2020/

These are good Collections, but I think some games are not in these collections because I'm under the impression there could be arcade Collections 2 from some of these companies. What I am waiting to see is what arcade collections be part of Evercade Vs bundles.
Technos Arcade Collection 1 is solid although I'm not a fan of Double Dragon 3. The arcade version of Double Dragon 3 was ported to the Genesis. Double Dragon 3 was considered a disappointment to many people online considering how the first 2 Double Dragons were. I'm guessing Double Dragon 1 would be on Technos Arcade Collection 2.
Data East Arcade collection 1 is very good collection. I'm guessing the Magic Drop arcade games are for Data East Arcade Collection 2.
I am not that familiar with Galeco at all, but I've heard good things.
Atari Arcade Collection 1 is good on paper, but I don't consider it a must. The problem is Atari Arcade games have been in compilations dating back to the ps1. I would get the cartridge though.

I've read in the past that Blaze Entertainment is for putting homebrew games and indie titles for any system that is on the Evercade.
Official Releases could be an issue right now since there is not a lot of those left that Blaze could get the rights for in terms of the 7800.
There is a good amount 7800 homebrew games that I think Blaze would have no problem with. I would pick Failsafe, Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest, Dragon's Cache, Danger Zone, Knight Guy in Low Res World Castle Days, and Plink as games for the collection.

What I know is Europe supposed to be in December, but not in North America. North America supposed to get Evercade VS in January. Reviews in North America got from Blaze themselves. I would be guessing that people in North America would received their Evercade VS in December if they ordered from Europe.
