Sabertooth

Here's gameplay only of a game I thought would be perfect on the VCS: 80s Overdrive. Throwback arcade racing on a stock 8GB VCS in ChimeraOS.

Out now! I will add that we are lucky to get this on the VCS. It was touch and go initially and a VCS port wasn't guaranteed. If you own a VCS, show Atari they made the right call and pick it up.

An early review from Defunct Games:

Casual gameplay of Jr. Pac-Man for the 7800. This fantastic homebrew by Bob DeCrescenzo (AKA Pac-Man Plus) faithfully recreates the 1983 GCC developed arcade game. I love this version. It's even better than the official 2600 port. Played with a Trooper because the CX-40+ wasn't up to the task. I really want a gated 4-way stick for this and the other Pac games.

Here's a trailer for the new game Asteroid v. Claw from Metgan Games!

I think they're called the Jerkfacians.

What I like about the VS is that certain cart combo's unlock a game. Like if you have Atari Collection 1 & 2 inserted, Dark Chambers 7800 becomes playable. It's a fun bonus for collecting them all! 😉

Here's a great article on secret games & unlocakables on the Evercade VS. The 9 "secret" games will always be available from the console once unlocked. Others require specific cart combos to be detected. This is just another fun way to enjoy your Evercade VS.

Insomnia had me watching the newest episode before 3 am. Without getting into spoilers, I'll just say that I really liked episode 4.
