@EvilRegal There appears to be a licencing issue with its soundtrack. Although the music is based on Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, a work that's in the public domain, it bears a strong resemblance to an arrangement of that piece by the rock group Sky.
However, Frogger, Bomb Jack and Rainbow Island also faced soundtrack issues but were ultimately released with modified music, so there's still a chance for Gyruss to join the Arcade Archives range, albeit with a different soundtrack.
@Freek Yeah, I'm also looking forward to the Amiga cartridge. Definitely picking that one up!
The roadmap for 2023 will be revealed pretty soon (early February, if I'm not mistaken). I'm eager to find out which games will be coming to the Evercade this year!
But I'd also love to see Activision, Delphine Software, Hudson Soft, Imagine Software, Konami, Melbourne House, Ocean Software, Palace Software, Psygnosis, Rainbow Arts, SNK, Taito, Tecmo... etc. etc.

Re: Streets Of Rage 2 Gets Tubular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Hack
That looks great!
Should've been called Shredder's Rage, though.
Re: Lost Screenshot Of Forgotten "Married With... Children" Video Game Surfaces Online
Nice find! I was a huge fan of the show back then, so I would've loved to play this game. I wonder if it would've been any good.
Also, I'm sure "invent." is short for "inventory".
Re: Poll: Which Evercade Cart Do You Want To See Next?
Only three? Ugh...this is tough.
Fine, I'll pick SEGA, Midway and System 3 then.

Re: Hands On: Evercade's New Carts Come With A Few Surprises
@KingMike Yeah, that seems to be the case. I'm just glad the game itself appears to be identical to the version I grew up with.

Can't wait to play through Bruce Lee again! It's one of my all-time favourite Commodore 64 games.
