Good to know. Because I have the first collection and never had an issue. So, there must be a bug with the Auto Racing game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I received two carts with my Evercade VS: Data East Arcade, and Technos Arcade. I like the Data East cart, but I wasn't impressed by the Technos cart, and haven't played it much. I normally don't care for street-fighting type games, but last night I sat down and tried The Combatribes... what a great game! Very simple controls: punch, kick, run, and jump. Move around. That's it. But.. it's a lot of fun! I was punching and kicking bad guys, throwing exploding motorcycles, etc. Nice cartoony artwork. After a while I looked at the clock and realized I'd been playing it for over an hour, and I needed to force myself to stop and get some sleep! I'm sure I'll be back at it tonight. In the arcade this would have been a real quarter-eater, but with the Evercade just keep pressing the coin button... the save state feature is very useful as well! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Intellivision Master Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) I got the Auto Racing game to work but steering the car feels weird. It's difficult to move the vehicle on the track using the D-pad. It was like that in Motocross too. Both games appear to have lag. But at least they play, even though I crash a lot. Lol. Another thing is that when I turned on my Evercade VS today, it only showed the INTV collection 2 and not the first collection. Which was odd. Because both were inserted at the time. So, I turned off the console and removed the INTV cart one then reinserted it. That fixed the issue. Not sure why this happened. It never did that before. The cart wasn't loose or anything. It was fully connected to the console. Edited July 6, 2022 by Intellivision Master 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played Motocross quite a bit on a 2609, and recently, and it felt about normal to me. I've never played Auto Racing much cuz, well, it sucks, so I can't say how accurately that plays. When I play Astrosmash, I think I can see a bit of controller lag - but then last night I was playing "Cloudy Mountain" (cough) and Night Stalker quite a bit, and I did not notice any issues.

I had to power-cycle the Evercade to get it recognizing both ports... but it's been fine since then. Edited July 6, 2022 by ls650 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Kai Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I've also had the same issue with the VS not recognizing both carts. It hasn't been a huge problem, but with more people speaking up, it is obviously some hardware issue that needs addressed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Salamon Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Got my Intellivision 2 Collection and Morphcat collection today... other than taking them out of the shipping box, they haven't been played just yet. Tomorrow after work perhaps. lol Overall, I'm just happy to be hearing that Cloudy Mountain plays well. I'll give the other titles on the collection a go or two but really this will be my D&D cart. lol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just by taking the cart out and putting it back in did the trick. Hopefully it doesn't happen anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a homebrew from 2020. It’s a fun game. I'm posting this in case anyone missed it from my original post. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+LS650 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Bruce Lee? Gateway to Apshai? Jumpman? There are some great games in that collection. I was a bit disappointed with the Alwa's Awakening/Cathedral announcement a day or so ago, but this looks terrific. I think it will be a must-have for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 For those who don’t want to watch the video, the list: Summer Games Marauder Movie Monster (Bruce) Lee Street Sports Baseball Battle Valley Subterranea Gateway to Apshai Alleykat Iridis Alpha Impossible Mission Stormlord Jumpman Winter Games Stormlord is an odd inclusion as the Amiga version is more iconic. But perhaps it will be less likely to get it an M rating Pretty awesome lineup. I rarely played C64 but the games I know are all awesome. Super excited to finally welcome @Yak to the Evercade, may many more of his games join the club. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800Knight Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I'm excited to get Impossible Mission. I never beat that one. At least this isn't the bugged Atari 7800 port that makes it unwinnable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydro Thunder Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Now how about a SSI Gold Box collection? Questron, Gemstone Healer, the Gold Box games, Phantasie series? Maybe they're too slow and lame now, IDK. But I put hundreds of hours into those. And also into Bop n' Wrestle, for god knows what reason. And that little programmable basketball game where you bounce off each other to score. And GhostBusters 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800Knight Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 While I'm hoping for more computer titles for Evercade, there's the elephant in the room - keyboards! I take it that not just any game from the C64 or another computer can be used; the Evercade is meant to replicate control pads and/or joysticks, not keyboards. Unless Blaze is also planning a keyboard accessory in the future for Evercade. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
