Evercade EXP - Early Xmas Present

[Icky]

Finally received the Evercade EXP after its release on Thursday.

I will do an in-depth review once I have played with it a bit more.

Nice, I have been looking at them, they seem really good value for money. Looking forward to your review

I hope that it works nicely.

I'd have preferred Atari and William's arcade consoles to Capcom. I was never into beat-em-ups. Probably my age.

I have been on and off for some time but when they released some interesting carts I was drawn in. Plus I have found out there is a homebrew cart EverSD that allows the ability to add other emulations such as PS1 and others. https://eversd.com (look in FQ section)

I hope that it works nicely.

Capcom just provided the bundled games there are many more carts including an Atari Lynx and C64 compilation.

Yeah - I had to buy the Bitmap Brothers cart for Xenon II and Speedball.

I see. I was thinking about the original arcade versions. Proper vector graphics Lunar Lander, Asteroids, Gravitar & Star Wars (Atari) and then proper William's Defender and Joust.

@rubber_jonnie, I see on another platform you have got hold of the VS version. I am still loving my EXP version and the Amiga games have started to appear on the cartridges.

You did indeed, and I'm pretty impressed. Build quality is great and being able to install 2 game carts at once is cool, so you can have different mixes of game type. The price of the carts is impressively cheap too.

IIRC the carts are universal and work in both the EXP and VS. It's something you could easily drop in a bag and take away with you, and the set I got:

Was just over £100 on Amazon, so good value for money IMHO. I didn't get the portable version on account of having so many portable machines already.

I think I need to add a VS to my wish list, looks like a great classic console.

@rubber_jonnie, only thing I would say is try and get all the legacy cartridges before they run out.

I think they were originally just made for the previous handheld but work on the VS and EXP
