I've only recently got into Evercade, and so far it's awesome. They seem to be putting out great collections consistently. Looking forward to what comes next!
Your lucky atleast you have an option of playing them my EXP was faulty and so was my second one so I wasn't going to be burnt a third time, hey enjoy, good luck to ya 👍
I've already got the Tomb Raider Collection on preorder! The bigger cartridges are fantastic! I'll be picking up the others at some point as well for sure!
I get the feeling a lot of Evercade game choices were based off popular games in Europe which makes sense and gives us North American fans something new.
The bitmap brothers were famous for their soundtracks, post Xenon II. Gods had " Into the Wonderful", which was a great tune. I accidentally completed Magic Pockets on the ST... totally fluked it . I think Z came after their hayday, which was the 16-bit Amiga/ST era.
May have to pick up a Evercade. I've been contemplating about getting one for a while now. Not sure if I really need one though, I have a Nintendo Switch, and PS5, and a Taito Egret Mini II with game packs. But I like the old school appeal to it.
Jumping Flash was on of the fkrst games i remember buying on my PS1 in 95. I did play through the Tomb Raider games on PS1 as well, and i sold my VS Atomic Edition and ordered this Tomb Raider bundled VS as looks nicer to me, and people paid silly money for that Atomic one off me, so i will give them another play, not sure I'll play to completion though. The Soul Reaver games i remember playing but pretty sure i didnt complete so mote looking forward to playing those ones. Think my VS should be arriving anytime now actually, so can play my Evercade carts again 👍
gods was amazing, got very tough though, dont think i ever got past the third boss... had magic pockets too, best idea was just jumping down a big hole and rolling about, well thats all i remember anyway.. it was over 30 years ago
Guess you didn't grow up in the era of PS2 then. Because it was backwards compatible with PS games. In the settings of the PS2 you could smooth the pixels out and speed up the PS games loading times. They looked a whole lot better than the original PS unfiltered polygon textures!
Amiga was great back in days it was basically NES without the rubbish graphics first game I played on Amiga was Gianna sisters I also purchased the recent Gianna sisters on Xbox
Ordered the Thalamus Collection, i think i will also get Legacy of Cain. Not a Fan of the Games from the Bitmap Brothers and i like the PC Versions of TR1-3 more. Played them before the Announcment of the Remaster last Year and than also played the Remaster... i have enough TR right now haha Btw. Lost Artefact is soooo great, much much much better than TR3.
I just cancelled my Amazon preorder. Blaze failed to fulfill those orders, with no statements from Blaze about it, even days after. I like my VS, it's a cool little system, but Blaze's customer service is garbage. Hopefully they won't make this same mistake with Legacy Of Kain and Toaplan Arcade Collection 3, but as for my Tomb Raider order, I'll now be spending my money elsewhere. "Thanks Blaze...."
I was never a legacy of Kane fan until soul reaver I hate top down games I can't go backwards so legacy of Kane wasn't a game u liked either back in the days
You should talk about the deplorable, disgraceful and disgusting BS statement Crystal Dynamics put out regarding TombRaider being reissued. The hypocrisy was mind-boggling. They can kiss my a** before I spend a single penny on one of their games ever again.
I was never a tomb raider fan back in the paystation days I hates the garbage graphics of all 3 of these ugly games to me I did like the mechanics of any of the 3 wasn't til squarenix jumped in and remade the series that's when I got back into the series
We in 2024 I hate garbage looking 1980 graphics today I can't go backwards aye I will never ever like anything that's old az the 1980s I shart all over these rubbish games with a passion leave the old games in the past with the museums

Great video. I’ve been on the fence about purchasing an Evercade and after the video, I’m leaning towards eventually getting one.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
My first PC was an Amiga 500 it was awesome and had some great games.
If you check the FAQ Blaze did after tomb raider was announced they said Analogue support is coming.
I'm looking forward to all these carts. It's going to be nostalgia and discovery for me. Thanks for the video, John!
You bet!
I'd love you see a Bally Midway collection on this thing

That tomb raider collection looks awesome!!
Yea baby, this is MORE like it, cheers John!!!

Hell yeah man! These are a def must pick up.
I didn’t get to play these games back in the day, so my interest is in experiencing oldies that I missed out on originally.
Some of those games look very interesting especially the Tomb Rider and the vampire one. Thanks for the heads up John!👉🏼🙂👈
New evercade carts with John Hancock
I preordered the Legacy of Cain cart 👍
I love the fact that these games fall into two categories, one; games from our childhood, and two games that are old but new to us.
that is exactly what makes romhacks so amazing, better and free
How can you not know about CE2 bro? 😂 was released late in the day on 1200 so didn’t sell many and considered pretty week tbh.
I would love it if Blaze would giving us Analogue Controllers in the Future. Especially with more Playstation-aera Games coming out in the Future.
Yes please or analogue control options
Nice review John!😊
i need to buy Legacy of Kain Collection and give Blood Omen 1 a try
plus i want a a physical copy of this masterpieces🙂

I got Z recently from GOG. It's a decent RTS. Mouse is a definitive asset.
The first Chaos Engine is definitely the better one.
gods was amazing, got very tough though, dont think i ever got past the third boss...
had magic pockets too, best idea was just jumping down a big hole and rolling about, well thats all i remember anyway.. it was over 30 years ago
Would have been nice if evercade had of added a smooth filter to toggle on or off in settings for these games!

Would be more excited if I actually had my pre ordered exp-r, but it’s pushed back til the end of November.
Ordered the Thalamus Collection, i think i will also get Legacy of Cain.

Retrograde reminds me of Forgotten Worlds
Yes it does.
You can choose old school on the remasters! You don't hafta use the updated graphics..
I know :)
What is the version it is emulating, PC?, PS1?
PS1 it appears
I can find tomb raider and have preorder on Amazon for the vsr but I can't find legacy of Kain anywhere
In the description I mention that it will be available at a later time
@@johnhancockretro ok thanks dude, great video love the evercade, can't wait to see more for it
John you not noticed any hidden games on these new carts when loading in pairs?
Nope, didn’t try to be honest.
I decided it's time for me to buy a Super Pocket.
Z on that cart is the PlayStation version. Only one that wasn't on the Amiga.
You sure? The cart advertises Amiga on the front.
@@johnhancockretro yes definitely. Blaze did mention it somewhere that it was the PlayStation version.
u know the last one would work better with a mouse
Arent evercade carts just flash or sd 🤔

🎮👌🏽😘
really should have included soul reaver 2 on the cart
🤦🏼 there’s always one
I was never a legacy of Kane fan until soul reaver I hate top down games I can't go backwards so legacy of Kane wasn't a game u liked either back in the days
Guess I just don't get Evercade....for me not the best option.

What did they say?
Evercade are stingy on hardware speak else they could do alot more with device.
I was never a tomb raider fan back in the paystation days I hates the garbage graphics of all 3 of these ugly games to me I did like the mechanics of any of the 3 wasn't til squarenix jumped in and remade the series that's when I got back into the series
I judge games by the look of it id it's shert looking i won't try it at all if it reminds me of 1980s it definitely doesn't get a play from me
