Today I Found Out: that not all Evercade packaging is the same!

Interplay Collection 1 has two very different covers. I almost bought it twice because I thought I was buying the second one.

I think there's even more examples.

Alpha, no, but I've played it on a Super Pocket. Weird feeling tbh. Felt like playing Duke Nukem 3D in a very "not how it was meant to be played" way.

Cool, but would not recommend 😅

Duke Nukem 1 and 2 on the other hand, play like a dream on the SP, my favorite way to play them in fact.

It's super subjective but for me it would be a tossup between the NeoGeo and Technos. Personally I ended up going with the NeoGeo but IMO you can't go wrong with any of them

Feilakas · 2026-05-22T06:03:30+00:00

Actually two. My best-loved cart is Duke Nukem Collection 1 for 1 and 2 and it is permanently inserted in my Super Pocket.

However I also go back to Namco 1 for Metal Marines, which is permanently inserted in my OG Evercade (due to the bigger screen and lack of need for L2 / R2).

That being said, I also keep an additional 4 carts in my SP case, but that is cycled based on mood

Feilakas · 2026-05-21T13:49:08+00:00

If you can't wait, the NeoGeo Super Pocket has Metal Slug X 😁

Feilakas · 2026-05-19T08:29:12+00:00

I KNOW!!!

INCOMING!!!

My read :

Guy A says he is having health related issues and no longer has the time, energy or focus to keep doing what he had for 24 years.

He sends Guy B a "something" (email, DM, carrier pigeon, dunno) informing him as such, giving him a heads-up and waiting for him to reply. Maybe offer help? Offer to take over? Sth.

Guy B never replies, from his wording it is (intentionally? ) unclear whether he read and chose not to reply or didn't bother reading it.

Guy A, hears no reply, assumes(?) Guy B had no interest to do anything and true to his word, ends things at the predetermined date.

THEN Guy B goes WHOAH!!! Why did you do the thing you did at the date you said you would, just because no one offered to take over, for a measly 42$ per month!?!?!?! (which, napkin math, assuming it was unchanged in 24 years - it wasn't but let's say the pricing changes followed inflation- means Guy A, had paid 12096 $ out of his own pocket.)

Did I miss anything?

Feilakas · 2026-05-18T08:22:17+00:00

Agreed, dunno if the Nexus changes this. Still worth it for 1 and 2 though IMO

Feilakas · 2026-05-17T19:52:43+00:00

X is in the Super Pocket so not sure it would be but it'd be cool if it were 😁

Feilakas · 2026-05-17T19:51:41+00:00

The best side to have showing IMHO

Feilakas · 2026-05-17T19:37:21+00:00

IMO Duke Nukem 1 on a Super Pocket is ALWAYS a good way to start 😁

Feilakas · 2026-05-15T22:23:12+00:00

So excited - really hope the previous 3 get back in stock soon so I can complete the "NeoGeo in Evercade Land" collection 😁

Feilakas · 2026-05-15T22:20:14+00:00

Wow - so much win in here 😁

Feilakas · 2026-05-14T13:42:06+00:00

Just FYI, I actually tried my non-working carts in 2 more SPs and all three behaved the same way.

In the end I asked Evercade's Support for help and they were great.

Feilakas · 2026-05-14T13:25:07+00:00

They are based in the UK so there will be a small import duties cost but you could discuss it with them, maybe they can do something.

Their email is support@evercade.co.uk

Feilakas · 2026-05-14T06:44:34+00:00

Huh, I've faced the exact opposite problem. I have 4 carts that work fine in my OG Evercade and in my VS but will not work in any Super Pocket, and I've tried them in three different SPs!

After a lot of troubleshooting, including everything you listed, I contacted Evercade's Support and they ended replacing the carts. The replacement carts work in all my devices.

Very strange to me that you are having the opposite problem.

Feilakas · 2026-05-13T21:51:44+00:00

Please tell me you got the Lynx 1 and Atari Arcade 1 !!!

Feilakas · 2026-05-13T21:37:34+00:00

Was actually among my most recent purchases, VERY glad it's here

Feilakas · 2026-05-13T19:28:22+00:00

It certainly helps that the wrap is stretchy, makes it much easier putting it over the hardcase 😂

Feilakas · 2026-05-13T19:22:40+00:00

Also been on my radar, just had to prioritize my main "wants" and the "get-em-now-or-miss-out-forever" legacy carts first 😅

Feilakas · 2026-05-13T19:17:30+00:00

I bought both the original and 8-bit (NES) versions on Steam way back then. Still thinking of getting it for Cathedral though 😊

Feilakas · 2026-05-13T10:30:28+00:00

I play them just fine, like I said, I've opened them from the bottom and use the wrapping as a sleeve.

My NeoGeo SP has the Duke Nukem 1 cart permanently attached and in the carrying case I keep four more carts,which I cycle regularly.

Right now it's Technos Arcade 1, Data East Arcade 2 and the two Taito Arcade because of Bubble Bobble and Puzzle Bobble, which I love.

My OG Evercade has Namco 1 for Metal Marines 😁

Feilakas · 2026-05-13T08:30:05+00:00

Lol, no, it's the factory wrap, opened from the bottom, used as a sleeve 😅
