From Blaze Entertainment comes the Evercade portable retro gaming console that runs on– wait for it– little cartridges. But after a week of playing around with it, the Evercade is a reliable, solidly-built throwback device that feels great, won’t break the bank and certainly scratches the nostalgic itch by celebrating some of the more popular, and not-so-popular games of yesteryear. The premium version (includes three carts) is available in the US through Amazon for $100 starting June 5th.

    Yeah, but does it have your old “high score”?

    You said you had some reservations about recommending this but I don’t think you told us. Could you clarify?

      that HDMI-out solution isn’t great– you’re tethered to a TV. Having to use carts isn’t the best, but their reason for using them is makes sense

    I have a PSP loaded with every emulator known to man – even Vectrex. Easy setup and easy to load with games.

    I have one on preorder. They have already announced 3 more carts and another one next week. Two of the new ones are Atari Lynx carts. I’m excited to get mine.
