Ultimate Evercade Cart Guide 2024 - New To Evercade? Start Here!

[@RobertCatiller67]

This is a great video for those new to Evercade! (Those that have received the devices they pre-ordered - I'm looking at you, Amazon & Blaze...)

[@SteveNorman]

What an epic! Kept me going through two rowing machine sessions! I know them all but I still added a couple of carts I’d skipped before to my Amazon wishlist thanks to this video. Thanks!

[@CrazyBurger]

@@SteveNorman Awesome lol. Hope you're not too exhausted!

[@TheBigDaddyDReviews1]

Great compilation for those wanting to get into the wonderful world of Evercade.

[@ItaloDiscoDatabase]

Started to collect the evercade about 4 months ago and was able to get all the legacy carts for a decent price. The highest i paid was €50 for the technos collection 1 on a Dutch marketplace. Played about every console in the past from the Philps Videopac G7000 to the PS5 nowadays. Make a mistake and sold all my games and consoles. So it’s great to play the games i loved as a kid! I now have a complete set. Keep up the good work! Best regards Wilfred

[@CrazyBurger]

@@ItaloDiscoDatabase Awesome. You've done well to get the legacy carts at those prices.

[@matameh]

Hi italo! , where did you buy any legacy games?

[@scootakuh3142]

Great video, very thorough! I've been part of the Evercade family since the original handheld launch back in 2020 and I have every cart so far. I buy them even if I have no interest, just because I want a complete collection. Blaze knew what they were doing when they numbered their carts, knowing people like me couldn't deal with missing any 😂 My favourites so far: Xenocrisis/Tanglewood, Full Void, Legacy of Kain, Bitmap 1, Bitmap 2 and Duke 1 - I still adore the remakes of Duke 1 and 2

[@CrazyBurger]

Thanks and nice picks for best carts. I'd agree with you there.

[@tranceforpaul]

excellent video, thank you. I've been looking at Evercade systems for a while and whether to get one, and this overview of what is available is really helpful. Might well be in store for me at Christmas with now targetd cart acquisition!

[@justme_7145]

Awesome, thanks. I'm relatively new to Evercade (but not new to the games) so this video was a great help👍

[@bjornh1527]

Great timing to release such marathon video, I’m home with a case covid, so this killed 1,5 hours effectively 🤧 Strong work actually reflecting over almost every individual game, appreciate the voice over a lot! The game I’ve played the most on Evercade is on Piko Collection 1: Canon, Legend of the New Gods. I’m 20 hours in and there seems to be lots more in it. Fun to play an alternative to Sega’s Shining Force strategy games. Glad to hear you liked Ufouria, Sunsoft is one of my favourite companies on the NES. I’m glad we got a Thalamus C64 collection, hope we can get System 3, Sensible Software or Gremlin in the future. I don’t get why Amiga and C64 games can’t be on the same cart, it would make lots of sense for a Gremlin 2 or Bitmap Brothers 3. But I would welcome a C63 Collection 4 if it had the right games. Ranarama is at the top of my list, and Epyx actually published several interesting non-sports titles we haven’t seen. And since First Star was on board with Boulder Dash we could get the sequels.

[@CrazyBurger]

@@bjornh1527 Ah sorry to hear that. Hope you get better soon. It's quite a daunting task going over everything. I would definitely welcome more c64.. I suspect we will most likely see more modern stuff from Psytronik for example. System 3 would be nice but looks like that might not happen at present. I'd like to see a Turrican collection,Team 17 2 or more Amiga stuff on a Gremlin collection. All definitely possible.

[@earlgrey7491]

This video will help a lot of people. Great work!

[@TonyMontana-tb1wy]

Super video❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheDuke013]

Thought about getting one, probably will cherry pick the carts since I have never seen a lot of them. Very good video, will definitely rewatch to see the ones I want.

[@jayme69]

I'll watch this one at the weekend. Cheers!

[@CrazyBurger]

@@jayme69 More for the newcomers

[@jayme69]

@@CrazyBurger I'll watch it anyway :-)

[@madyak6669]

The game series you were looking for by the In the Hunt team was Metal Slug. And yes, I would kill for a collection on Evercade.

[@darrenj3720]

Metal slug is in my top ten of favourite arcade games.

[@CrazyBurger]

@@madyak6669 lol yeah I know. The bloody name escaped me at the time. It came to me whilst editing but just left it as it is. I knew someone in the comments would know. And yeah surely Metal Slug on Evercade 2025. Got to happen.

[@MIKandJEAN]

Slightly on topic unlike yesterday! One of the next Legacy carts could be Piko Collection 2. QUbyte have released an Accolade Sports collection trailer and it features Summer & Winter Challenge both from the Piko2 cart.

[@CrazyBurger]

@@MIKandJEAN Good shout.. I'm sure legacy carts will grow. All Piko carts potential to be legacy at any point. I doubt that Thalamus and the Crystal Dynamics licenses will be long either.

[@MIKandJEAN]

​@@CrazyBurgerTop Racer 2 will be the one game newcomers wished they had lol. It now feels like things might get worse for Legacy carts in the near future if companies are scrambling to grab anything retro, Summer & Winter Challenge are bottom of the pile games. 😂

[@CrazyBurger]

@MIKandJEAN lol those games can be fun but minimal. I did enjoy a bit of Javelin. But in that process of trying to get a good score.. utterly destroyed my OG handheld buttons. From that day.. I stepped back from competitive FB high score challenges..

[@MIKandJEAN]

No wonder you used your purple Evercade more. If only there was button remapping back then! 😉 Just a heads up, I couldn't pre-order the Xmas carts off Funstock, the checkout button doesn't work. Funstock just got back via email saying they are having issues with Checkout but the other options such as PayPal are ok. Annoying as I only use a bank card, my woman does paypal and to bug her to buy something online is a mare, she wants money up front! 😂😂😂

[@BURRITO44]

Awesome video

[@wouter1930]

Great video just to see if i missed some good carts!

[@gaz-a-reno8891]

That was an Herculean effort putting this vid together Crazy Burger! Well done! 👍. Still is a mix bag with Blaze when putting together a collection. It’s like they try to cover all their bases when compiling games on them?! 🤔. They can really mislead the buyer. New and old. Into thinking these are what made games from certain machines or companies great?! 😤. Now THESE games are now ALL apart of their licensed library. I cannot see why we couldn’t just buy the SINGLE games from them. Perhaps not all. But. I certainly could see the idea. Something like a SINGLE cart GOLD cart, of the very BEST games being looked at to be released?! It’s not beyond possibilities?! 🤔. Also a way to do a 4th C64. Why don’t they put the best selected actual “classics” games. From each collection. Together on ONE collection. I think it would be a HUGE winner! 💰. It would be like creating money from old rope, as well as saving Blaze face. By actually making the C64 collection good again. 😊. It would buy them a little grace. Until they get the licences from the other C64 game companies! 🤔😊👍💡

[@CrazyBurger]

@@gaz-a-reno8891 lol thanks. I meant to do it last week but a few things got in the way. And yeah it was a huge effort that took all day. Also some great ideas there.. maybe it'll happen, maybe not. Sometimes Blaze are predictable other times it's unclear where they are headed.

[@gaz-a-reno8891]

@@CrazyBurger Thanks. Perhaps split it into a Two parter next time, when the mood takes you do attempt this again?! 🤔. Basically though. Maybe Blaze needs to go with games that play well?! I think that’s the crucial factor in this! I’m working (not playing) my way through BIT MAP 2 currently, and the fact like I have to keep checking the manual or a walkthrough to play them, takes the fun away! 😤

[@jasonshiers5771]

Good video CB .

[@JohnnyProctor9]

In my opinion at least 2 of the 5 best carts are Legacy now and run for around $100, so it can be quite ouchy...at least Piko 1 and Codemasters are still worth that price at least to me though, Oliver Twins and Atari 2 might also be worth nearly that much for people who really enjoy the games on them.

[@RexRex88]

I’m sure some of the cartridges aren’t worth is…….but I like to collect things….so if I’m missing something I have to have it just to put on the shelf 😂

"Great work as always!" - Jayme69

[@CrazyBurger]

Hopefully wont ever be - "Wow, that was a shockingly bad video".

[@Jackbat69]

I mostly want jrpg / rpgs ?? Any good ones?

[@cyrollan]

Renovation I think.

[@JohnnyProctor9]

Also in my opinion Tanzer is vastly overrated...I got that cart for it and it just really wasn't what I had hoped for or was expecting. I was hoping more for a fast-paced Strider-style sidescrolling platformer and this was really more of a bullet Hell game where you have to go slow, be careful, and memorize patterns or else you're going to die A LOT in it...

[@CrazyBurger]

@@JohnnyProctor9 It's a decent game but extremely tough.

[@8bitNL]

Who else is sad about the legacy carts. I refuse to pay high ebay prices.

[@cyrollan]

Not sad at all. I've purchased the ones I wanted. And a few that I didn't end up liking. Now I can sell them for a high price!

[@8bitNL]

​@@cyrollan At least you were able too purchase them for normal prices. Lots of people who got a bit in the ecosystem later did not had that change. Some i don't care about. Like the Atari. Can't even play them on the VS.

[@cyrollan]

The 2600 version of Tempest sucks
