About Evercade
Evercade was first released in 2020 as a handheld device with ten gaming cartridges of classic console licenses. Since then, it has grown to two other hardware devices and now has over 50 physical cartridge collections and over 500 games.
Evercade devices play games via emulation on bespoke cartridges. These physical releases play the games contained and come in a physical case with a full-color manual, custom written by Blaze with controls, hints and tips, and interesting facts about the titles and developers.
Evercade emulates a wide range of systems (including 8, 16, 32, and 64-bit consoles, handhelds, THEC64, and Amiga home computers, and arcade games), as well as natively run games, and also highlights modern retro games created by indie developers, with support for five decades of gaming.
Evercade cartridges have three distinct color schemes to highlight their content. Red-colored boxes feature home console collections from multiple systems across five decades of gaming. Purple indicates Arcade game collections and Blue is for home computer collections.
