It played sounds from Saint Dragon and music that sounds vaguely familiar. There are a lot of great games in that catalog… I don’t think I’ve played their Super Scaler games but I would love to try them! Ohhhh, I get it. I thought you were saying that the unlocked games would not exist or be accessible any longer after a while. Haha, I misunderstood. Thanks for all this info; I really appreciate it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time they put a dipswitch or softdip in for it. ...but manual says not this time (link) Google so far isn't showing me anything that isn't street legal--but don't worry, I'll keep searching.

7800Knight Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I looked up all the games - we have a good mix of platformers, shooters, sports and racing games. These would be worth grabbing! I'm still waiting for the first Gaelco and Atari arcade collections to come back on Songbird. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roots.genoa Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 3 of the games on the Jaleco cart are in my Switch wish list (they're available through Arcade Archives). So it's quite tempting to get the €20 cart rather than 3x€7 games, even though I won't be able to play with someone else (not that it happens often anyway ?). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RREDDWARFF Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) Did anyone here order Renovation Collection from Songbird? If so, did you get yours and about how long ago? Thanks Edited April 29, 2022 by RREDDWARFF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I ordered with Asteroite and 8bit Slicks so I figured mine might be delayed. @Songbird is a busy man lately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I ordered both a couple months back from Songbird and I figured they would arrive in early May. However,I ordered Two VS. Controllers at the same time. I hope that doesn't further delay my order! I Also ordered the Intellivision 2 cart and the other new one but I am really in no hurry to get any of them really. So many other games to play,so little time!? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me say first that Carl has always been a nice guy. Always kind and quick to answer any questions; I really appreciate that. Anyway, here's what he said: "Hi, Jason! We haven't forgotten about you. Our distributor just confirmed our stock is finally shipping out next week. So we'll start filling orders first half of May. Sorry this has taken so long -- thanks for your patience!" I agree with you Wolfy, no rush. I just wanted to make sure I didn't get lost in the shuffle somewhere.

Songbird Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hey everyone, sorry these new carts are taking so long to get in stock. Logistics delays have been terrible these past few months. But yes, my distributor confirmed a couple days ago that my stock should be arriving soon. Thanks for being patient! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excited to play World Rally 2 on Gaelco 2. Great game! Both of the next two arcade collections do appear to have a nice variety of games for sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoGamer Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) I love my Evercade. The only thing that’s disappointed me so far are those arcade cartridges. The Data East cartridge isn’t bad (It has Burgertime! Yes!) but the Technos Arcade Cartridge Collection 1 is really bad imho. Maybe its just me or my Evercade, but the controls in Double Dragon II are horrible. DD3 was - and always will be - a toilet bobber of a game. It’s absolutely terrible. When Blaze Entertainment mentioned arcade cartridges, I was thinking more along the lines of Sega (i.e. Thunderblade, Super Hang-on, Altered Beast, Death Adder’s Revenge, etc) than what we have received so far. When I wrote to Blaze about exactly that, they said I would be ‘very happy’ with their next arcade cartridge line-up for the Evercade. Sadly they never said why I would be happy, nor did they hint at what those arcade cartridges would be. So… ?

ColecoGamer Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I was just on Evercade’s official Facebook forum and guess what? They just announced two new arcade cartridges for the Evercade! Yes, I am excited! Both cartridges have incredible line-ups! Blaze was right in saying I would love their next line-up of arcade cartridges! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I love the Technōs arcade collection. Mysterious Stones, Block Out, Minky Monkey, Combatribes… Double Dragon has always been best in our memories and not to actually play ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Was hoping to see Cisco Heat and Big Run. Hopefully there's a 3rd Jaleco volume one day with those on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect SEGA, Capcom, Konami, Taito, or even another Namco cart. These Japanese publishers are very hard to get for a company like Blaze unfortunately. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I imagine the Japanese are just being traditionally tight as they are, they'll do their own thing on their own time and without outside interference which was why the couple of famicom game packs was a surprise, and also why they got crappy about regional selling and ending the contract on the two too. I think that Jaleco one could be fun. I have to be 100% honest though, I haven't used it but once or twice since February, too much has come along on my plate, and with nothing new to tinker with, and Renovation cart stuck in amazon hell I've just been off the whole thing. Not saying I would have, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was last year if on a whim I would have just ebay'd the stuff off to break even and just enjoy the time I had which is pathetic. Considering actually doing that (local though) with my r-zone stuff and my timetop gameking too, did pull my second fixed virtual boy. I'm so over baggage. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Intellivision Master Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 For anyone who hasn't been able to get the Renovation cart. Most of the games in that collection can be played on Ant Stream. It's a free video game service. I use it and I've seen a lot of the same games on there that are on these multi carts. So, I just thought I would share this info with all of you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I love Antstream in concept but it has been terribly laggy for me even though I have a 1Gbps connection with perfectly good ping times. Equally bad on computer and NuVCS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
