I've bought pretty much everything from Barry 'Epoch' Topping as his work is exceptional!

A very talented individual.

"At what point does a government's flagrant disregard for their own copyright laws render them unenforceable as a whole for the general public?"

This is a great quote. It's almost like America is becoming the new China where 'anything goes' with regards to copyright laws. What a strange and troubling time we're living in.

I can't wait to get my hands on the Nexus. I'm a big fan of the Evercade and I think what they're doing is great. Preserving all these old games and making sure that people get paid properly for them is surely nothing but a good thing?

If I was a game developer, I'd be really enthusiastic about the Evercade community.

When you really think about it, Golden Axe is pretty light on story so I don't think a proper serious outing would give any longevity. I'm willing to give it a go.. I didn't get on with Lower Decks so I'm not holding out much hope but still, it's nice to see something like this being made.

@Zybex242 It can only play Evercade cartridges but there's loads of them and they keep on coming out so there's lot's to play.

I'm excited. I love Doom and I'm looking forward to playing through again on my Evercade. I'm a bit annoyed about the Nexus though. I've got the Banjo Kazooie one on order but I'd much rather have had this one.

I've been thinking about purchasing a new power bank for a while and since we're all off on holiday in a few weeks time, and the possibility of the site getting a bit of commission, I've jumped on this one.

I love the design of this. I haven't checked but I imagine all these games are on the Evercade carts which I already own so this one isn't for me.... but I can see a lot of people wanting to go for it!

@Damo Now that's good service! Amazing.

I can't wait to get this mainly for Fatal Fury Special... You can imagine my panic when I read the review and it didn't mention the game!

I've just downloaded this and apart from not running the first time I tried, it seems pretty competent and it's made me realise that I didn't actually have a SNES emulator on my PC.

I did a similar thing while working at Game on the launch of GTA Vice City. People were trading in GTA 3 but because we had some many copies, eventually the trade in price went to £1. People still traded them in however which meant me and my colleagues could buy them for £1.40.

We'd then return them under the infamous 'no questions asked' 10 day returns policy for £40 store credit.

We lived like kings that month!

It looks exactly as I expected it would which can only be a good thing. Looking forward to it.

There's some great games amongst this lot. Really excited for these.

If this does see the light of day, and I'd be surprised if it does, I imagine that it'll just be the usual collection of Sonic games, Golden Axe, Columns and all the other Sega IPs we've seen time and time again.

I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but I do wonder who many times I can buy the same games just on a different format.

This is really exciting. I love Final Fight and the N64... and the possibility of a version of Mortal Kombat, well.. That's just amazing!

I wish I was the kind of guy to have £455 to burn...

As disappointing as this is, that's a wonderfully written press release. I wish everyone involved nothing but the best.

This sounds excellent. I wonder if it's possible to play SNES or NES games on a DS with it?

Yesterday I said that I hoped it was a couple of carts instead of a new console...

Today I'm just about to pre order the Spectrum handheld.

Such is the life of a collector.

Hopefully it's just carts loaded with old games that work with the Evercade. I'm getting a bit worn out with all the different hardware releases from Blaze if I'm honest.

@Fanboy_Destroyer I did. In my last post.

@Fanboy_Destroyer Ok, I'll bite. What's the cheapest official way to emulate Neo Geo games then?

@themcnoisy I agree and don't forget Funstock! I see a lot of people complaining about not getting the carts but I've ordered every single one through Funstock and never had a problem with getting them on release day so yeah, go with Funstock everyone. They're great.

I use a USB power cable on my Atari 800XL instead of the original power brick and it works fine. I imagine the Atari is quite a low power drain compared to modern consoles or maybe I'm just lucky with it?

Either way, I think the Atari is my limit. Everything else I own runs off an original power supply.

I love the Neo Geo and I also love the Evercade. I sit here in hope that Neo Turf Masters comes to one of the carts soon. I mean, it has to? Right?!?

I have a fair amount of consoles set up and have got round the problem of the power cables with a couple of simple Ikea 6 way socket multiplugs that are screwed into the wall behind the TV.

Each socket has it's own power switch and all my consoles are switched off until they're needed. I'm not sure how the Retrotap could be any better of a solution than this but I'll keep an eye on it.

Exciting. My money is on a new handheld with analogue sticks.

This looks like it's coincided with the automatic, AI generated responses I've seen them give to people on social media. Anyway, it'll be a cold day in hell before Limited Run get any more of my money.

A great feature indeed which would be brilliant to use if only the D pad wasn't so terrible.

This is sad news. If it was behind a paywall, I'd gladly pay to access the stuff on there. I get a lot more enjoyment out of Myrient than I do Netflix or Disney Plus.

To say I'm looking forward to this cart is an understatement. I have very fond memories of playing Turrican on my Amiga and I can't wait to get back into the series and hopefully (with the help of saves states) complete them!

I loved Man in the High Castle and had no idea that Shang Tsung was in it! RIP.

I think that Turrican cart is an absolute blinder! When I saw the image, I was expecting just the first few games but there's loads on there. Very pleased with that one.

@Gs69 you can indeed and this is the default. I've got mine and it looks great.

This is one of only 2 games I've ever imported and I've never been able to get it to work...

I remember reading a random Reddit comment years ago saying that Samurai Shodown 2 was the best fighter ever... It's always stuck with me that.

I'm looking forward to really getting into it on this cart.

@qverb Memory unlocked! The wrestler Lex Luger used to use this theme tune many years ago in the WWF. That's why it's in my head somewhere. Thank you!

The music on that trailer is soooo familiar yet, I can't place it!

An insta buy from me! Hopefully Time Extension can keep us up to date on a release.

I've just modded an original Gameboy with a new screen and then this comes along... It's almost like it was meant to be!

The Dreamcast just will not die. I love it.

Another great cart from Blaze. I'm really looking forward to getting into Don Doko Don as I haven't experienced it before.

I've had an Evercade since day one and like most video game consoles or companies, there's always someone on the internet who will knock them and point out supposed flaws.

Personally, I think the Evercade is brilliant and a great way to not only play old games, but also to build up a nice collection too.

@Kevums I've just patched it and it's smaller than a disc at around 498mb. Admittedly, I haven't tried playing it yet as I'll be putting it on my Saroo but it might be worth taking another look and see if you've got the right image.

I've been to the Retro Realm and admittedly, there were a few broken down machines and a few that needed some repairs but overall, I think the place is great. It helps that it's not far from here but it's great to see another place like this pop up and despite a few teething problems, I'm looking forward to seeing how it grows and hopefully it'll stick around for a good few years.

I'll definitely be visiting again.

I've enjoyed the majority of his videos over the years and I'll be glad to see more regular content from him but it did irk a little when he was saying he had no money yet managed to fill a warehouse with retro goods worth thousands.

Consider me sold. I loved the A500 mini but the added bonus of a keyboard is absolutely brilliant.

This looks intriguing... It'd be nice if it had a connector on the front for an original pad.

I buy pretty much any new release for the Dreamcast and this was on my radar but I couldn't remember why I hadn't backed it yet.

Then I remembered... £86 for the blue European Dreamcast case is just too much for me and alot of other gamers it seems.
