Legacy of Kain was a very nice surprise. I remember seeing the games in magazines back in the day, but never had the chance to play them. The fact that it is basically "Zelda for adults" was a nice discovery. Tomb Raider also plays surprisingly well, especially with the savestates, which remove lots of the frustration. I did like the Bitmap Brothers 2 as well, especially for Gods. Z is a great game, but is almost unplayable with just a controller. Toaplan Arcade 3 is everything I expect from an arcade cart and plays well on Alpha. Overall, I think this was a good year for Evercade, even if the rebranded VS and EXP felt a bit lackluster.

Great choices. This would be how I'd rank the cartridges from favourite to least favorite. Even my least favorites were still fun though. 1- Indie heroes collection 3 2- Toaplan arcade collection 3 3- Data East arcade collection 2 4- Legacy of kain collection 5- Piko collection 4 6- Toaplan arcade collection 4 7- Tomb Raider collection 1 8- Metal Dragon/ Life in mars 9- Sunsoft collection 2 10- Bitmap brothers collection 2 11- C64 collection 3 12- Thalamus collection 1

Yeah, the number of carts as a bit low, but since most were good I won’t complain! My favourites were: 1: Data East Arcade 2 2: Toaplan Arcade 3 3: Thalamus Collection …incidentally I just bought 3 carts this year! If I didn’t already have Ufouria on NES I’d absolutely pick up Sunsoft 2.

Three great carts but wouldn't be my choices simply because I can play most of these on other platforms. My Top 3 would be: (1) Thalamus Collection (2) Bitmap Brothers 2 (3) Piko Collection 4 I think collectively they offer great value for money and a good variety of games. The convenience of being able to play C64 and Amiga games without having to dig out my micro consoles is also a big plus. Piko 4 having Glover 64 on it with the added analogue controller support makes it a worthy addition to my top 3 :-) Keep up the awesome work!

@20:44 Close your eyes and imagine you're looking at the title screen of Halo 1. Naughty Microsoft! 😜 The Bitmap Bros 2 Collection is up there for me this year as one of the best, still gutted we didn't get Amiga Chaos Engine and for you, Amiga Speedball 2 lol. I need more time with the Toaplan carts, it's just been hectic since the Alpha released and we're still not done wrapping presents. 😂😂 Thanks Crazy! 👍

Based on our interview I wasn’t surprised by your top two, but wasn’t expecting your number 3! And no Thalamus!?

@@PhilSzomszor ah was tempted to put Thalamus or Bitmap 2 in.. but decided to go with the ones I've played most.

Arcade carts are good but as I said in a previous video , most of the games are super hard. I prefer to play console carts, my latest buy is intelivision collection 1, it has some pretty nice games.

I’d reverse the order but can’t argue with your choices here. Nice one!

This is just my opinion, but i think Toaplan Arcade 3 is the best of the year. There's not one bad game on it except Ghox could be a little better.

Honestly there were a a number of good carts this year (I'm surprised on the number of 2024 carts I have considering how new I am to Evercade). Toaplan 3 & 4 are both great carts for me and my third spot could swap either Tomb Raider or Legacy of Kain carts as they both show you can get large sprawling games in the Evercade Ecosystem.

So basically carts from 2024.. the whole library is massive already, but I think we could get bigger names on that since 2025 will be the year of gaming

I am so gutted. I ordered the street fighter 2 alpha from Game on the 10th of December and they just informed me my order is cancelled. Now I can’t find one anywhere, will they restock next year?
