A good reflexion on Evercade. One of my friend has one : yeah it's funny, it's a nostalgic "wave" from "back in the days" (I started with the NES.. I was a teenager...) and .. that's it. I totally changed my opinion with retrogaming : it's bulky and the madame doesn't like this "mess" at home (and I guess she is right...). As I'm old, I would say this : it reminds me of Canada dry beverage (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Dry) : "it looks like alcohol, it has the color of alcohol .. but it's not alcohol !". Anyway clever marketing approach, with the packaging, the manual and the system of numbers on the boxes. Sadly, I don't need it and even if I still have those old systems (and the games , of course), i'm a lazy guy, nowadays : I play on my PC, with an emulator. More convenient .....and I can still use my original controllers (thank you gamer Pro advance...). I guess 20 / 30ish gamers will love this system, since they don't really know how fun it was to own a console with physical games (and real manuals.. i'm still missing this useful object which can work.. without electricity or screen !! LOL!).

Is that an actual Pac-Man arcade cabinet?

Exaggeration borders on deception.

The reaction videos that I find to be ok are the ones where they have some interesting feedback and give their HONEST opinions on the subject matter. But yeah in general they range from ok to stupid and lazy. It's crazy that there are reactions to other reaction videos because that idea was invented in a Southpark episode as a joke about how ridiculous that would be. Only Cartman was dumb and lazy enough to think of it.

Man, that is creepy.

You need to use original contrllers with overlays for some games.

Why did you buy two Donkey Kongs?

Glad you covered this! Thank you!

Glad to hear your common sense views. You're not wrong to hate these videos. I think it's that people love the fame, love hearing their own voice and seeing their own face, and who think they're 'it and a bit', showing off. They may have been indulged as children, think the world revolves around them, etc. Plus it's low effort stuff to make easy money. As you said, get a proper job! Gogglebox became huge in the UK - basically the same idea but a TV show. It's so boring, dumbed down and utter rubbish. Certain types of people watch this crap. Idiots! Plus it's just people doing what they think is cool. So idiot sheep! Humankind is doomed! 😢

I got the Mortal Kombat two cabinet last year for like 200 bucks and I think it plays just as well as the arcade. Although I will admit, I don’t play it a ton. Either way these things do look good in the man cave just kind of chilling for the occasional play. I think when people started trying to turn the entire house into an arcade with these things is when it jumped the shark. These things are designed to be one or two in a man cave you turn it on, have it running in the background for the ambience and maybe occasionally play a game or two people took it way too seriously

War games is like the Missle Command arcade.

I built a 27-inch mini led machine with gun4ir guns.

its just a way to steal others content. I've see reaction videos where there was no reaction at all ... their head just sits in the corner of someone elses' video.

I would love to know When we are getting it because I waited all 2024 long and now it's October and nothing about it being on line available.

I checked them out when they launched but never had any interest in it. They sparked my interest again when they announced the Tomb Raider collections since I'm a TR nut lol. I finally looked deeper into them when they announced their Legacy of Kain collection. Ultimately, I decided to pass on them. Based on the little things they do to run their business, I think their primary market are the peacock collectors (people who are more concerned about owning, displaying and showcasing a physical collection over playing them). There's nothing wrong with that, but I doubt the company will put effort into making some sort of exclusive experiences, but I could be wrong. Several reasons I think this way is primarily because they've released multiple units within a short span of time with little improvements. Also, they specifically number their releases to attract collectors and keep them buying in order to complete the set. Another thing that didn't appeal to me is that ,outside of bigger franchises, they sell compilations which can be hit or miss (you end up paying a premium for one or two games you might want...out of a list of 6 or 10). They're also not renewing licenses of "legacy" cartridges which creates scarcity and demand which adds even more fuel to the idea of capitalizing on collectible hysteria. And finally, their cartridges are just armored SD cards from my understanding. If they were about preservation, I see no reason why they can't just create a digital storefront for their consoles and handhelds that allow users to purchase DRM-free games and let users download them to their own personal storage devices (micro sd cards, usb drives, external ssds etc)...Basically something akin to the service provided by Good old games. That way, I can buy what I want instead of buying compilations. I still have the advantage of legally purchasing the product, and still have full ownership of the product since it is DRM free in my personal storage. Even though I can see they're focused on capitalizing on the "gotta get them all" collectors, I do have to give them credit for offering legit means for people to own these classic games without having to pay the crazy costs associated with original legacy hardware and games.

I'm bumbed about beamrider. 2600 verison is dope. It looks alittle 3d. The coleco looks bland. whats up with the sqiggle wepon?

I just subscribed

This app is garbage especially for pricing up Wii games for instance it shows a sale of Madden 09 breast cancer edition as 237.20 dollars when if you click on the link it actually sold for 372 plus 30 shipping haha its way off and nearly every wii game listed in Pal region is half price what you would actually pay in CEX or ebay and I recon it is out on its pricing by 2-3 years and has a real need for an update by the app plus it states there was actually 5 of this title sold in 2024 and only shows 3 one I have just mentioned and the other 2 dont exist and the other one to ever be shown is Pixel squad who showed the copy in one of their videos and they graded it but its never been for sale so how can this app price something so wrong and base it's price on one sale in the world when there are no more of this game to compare it to? I did note that according to pricecharting Fire emblem is 43 dollars haha i'll take a full case at this price and everything else in the top 50 for the Pal region wii and Japan haha I wouldnt use this app for selling but ideal for buying 😊

I think if any kudos are to be given, MAME and all those who contributed to it are the real heroes.

Must own games Carnival, Defender and Looping!

This was the first and only console game I ever owned. Picked it up when they were blowing them out a K-Mart in the late 80s. Then it was on to Amiga and then PC.

Zaxxon and Cosmic Avenger had mind blowing graphics for a home console at the time--especially Zaxxon!

$80 complete in box. 🎉.

Is this a rarity?

Those who are doing reaction videos just want easy views.

I appreciate your conversation here and don't disagree with anything about your viewpoint although it's not similar to mine. I'll give my two cents on the topic. People can judge it how they will. I have the evercade original along with numerous other brands of handhelds but it's the evercade that I use for retro game emulation almost exclusively. I play the original on the go as a handheld, but also as a console connected via hdmi to a big screen tv it is easily the best piece of hardware evercade has produced. I've purchased, owned about 20 different collections but after a bit of play now only have about 7 collections with games that I really enjoy playing over and over so obviously I am neither a completionist or collector, that has no appeal to me. My collection of titles is smaller because Evercade continues to make mostly dubious publishing choices along with occasional gems (full void). I can give three reasons that I will continue to use/support this device. 1. Occasional gems that many may not even care about but I love as in fun to play (touch and go). 2. When they get a game right it often plays better on evercade than on the original hardware (night stalker). 3. I use Eversd which provides library support for the consoles that Evercade Ignores (Vectrex, Colecovision) allowing me to play the original copies of my games I already own for those original consoles (which I also own) as I wait for Evercade to hopefully eventually support those consoles too. Even with evercade's publishing missteps, and poor quality control on hardware, cartridges and shipping dates, I enjoy games on the handheld...... it just is my cup of tea..... and if evercade goes under eversd is my lifeboat (bought 3 new Evercade carts this month so I'm still supporting Evercade).

I'm just a bit confused by these Arcade1UP systems, going to all that effort to replicate the artwork and cabinet but then play the game on an LCD display? Fundamentally, the most important function of the system is playing the game itself and playing pixel art games on an LCD with clean unfiltered pixels looks SO wrong.

You mean overreaction videos? They monetize on monetized videos. Its all about making money..

👏🏻

I don’t like a reaction to a short where I can’t really see or hear the original video over you and your video is longer than the clip you’re reacting to, so I look for the original video and it’s usually better than your reaction to it

You know it all started with 2 girls 1 cup. Ppl were reacting to how gross it was. That was the begining

I got one from a store called Best in 1983. And couldn’t beat a single game. 🤣

100% agree that at the price point, they are not worth it. But if you can get them cheap second hand on marketplace, totally worth it. They are cool and fun to have and fun to play at a certain price point.

If the hyperkin Mega 95 happens then I would buy it day 1 for $1.00

Its so funny those late 70s early 80s video game systems had such a.sophisticated look. With the wood grain base and clean hard plastic casing, plus the slots that you could neatly hold the controllers in Plus in addition the controllers design almost look like a telephone. It's almost like they were video game systems made for mature adults. Systems that would not look awkward in a fancy living room on a coffee table or on top of a all wood furniture piece that held the largest tv in the house, lol. Yeah I'm old enough to remember those. Id imagine anyone who wasn't aware of what these systems looked like might have in a nice house mistaken one of those consoles for a first generation music player or video playing unit. When you see an XBox or Playstation today most people can tell it's a video game system. Although now you can stream and watch things on any console, through the internet.

A friend down the block had Intelilvision and it was amazing to me. But I just remember Colecovision being more popular. The funny thing is it seemed like Intellivision had better graphics then even the Nin 0:00 tendo years. I could be wrong. later. But I gotta admit, kind of a stupid move to create and try to market a computer/video game system when your original video game console is not selling selling as much as your competitors. Also kind of disappointing that I share my name with a colossal failure of computer/video game system.

Nice. But: I built this one for 400€ and I don’t use cheap speakers that look bad like that one kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZXTkIejpbSdmKsfeature=shared

The Popeye arcade game

Im from 84, just started playing some Metroid games, I can’t believe I missed out on this game for all these years, I just started with prime days ago, finished playing Super Metroid, fusion and zero mission

I agree.. people are acting as if they have zero concept of movies or TV shows and very aware they are on camera... crying without tears.. forcing a laugh... that first guy you show... I would never ever ever watch his channel... all the screaming. It would be completely unpleasant to go to a movie with that person.

Most the stuff I have not shown here are in my collection. But found it all at Hobby Lobby. Really cool stuff! I built a custom 1981 bartop arcade cabinet and got some signs and cool stuff to put around it. I got a couple of 25 cents coin insert decals that are for the back of automobiles but put them on the arcade deck because they look real.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip, man! Will try soon on my 3DS!

Aw cripes, those Zelda prints are calling my name but the wall spaaaace!! lol Good Mario pieces. I like that controller evolution print--and the stress balls, excellent. Aw, sweet Atari stuff--oooh, Frogger you say?

These suck. People who resale them act like they’re worth their weight in gold.

Got me so many wall signs and a sweet mario picture there few days ago and a 3d galaga picture while back. They got lota cool video game stuff in there

Where is it?

Question for you. How do I find your Mercari page so I can see what you are selling?

Would be nice if it had Rc hobby decor

does hobby lobby still hate gays?

Dig Dug and Bump and Jump were good ones for me.
