Oh, I had to go look up what Evercade is. I thought this was going to be the rumored remasters of these games.

Evercade seems interesting, but it's kind of a strange concept. Like a generalized nostalgia for a console that never existed. I think if I'm not playing games on their original hardware, I would rather emulate on a retro handheld than pretend that I'm getting an authentic retro experience off a ROM on a newly produced cartridge for a modern device. This is like a compromise, I guess? Anyone here liking Evercade?

What I like about it is that I don't need to delve into second hand shopping to get some old classic games.

I've always wanted to get into getting retro games, and I would get different consoles, but as a matter of money and space I've found it difficult unless I get into only one system, and I find the evercade as a compromise for getting a variety of collections from different systems.

Of course, emulating ROMs would give almost the same experience, but the physical releases with their little manual got me.
