I'm pretty hype for the Team 17 cart. I had an old gaming magazine that had some Amiga previews, and I remember being blown away by the graphics. I'll definitely be preordering it. It's kinda funny though, the game I'm looking forward to the most is the bowling game. It just looks really good.

Funstock wasn't kidding when they said they'd start dispatching their replacement EXP orders soon. I just got my shipping confirmation! YAY!I haven't even unwrapped Namco 2 or Lynx 1 & 2 because I can't or don't want to play them on the VS, so next week is going to bring a whole lot of new stuff.
I've also been stockpiling a wanted list ever since Funstock promised the 20% off coupon. At a minimum, I'll grab Toaplan 2, C64 1 & 2, and Team 17 1. I may add Jaleco 1 and/or Codemasters 1 to get free shipping. That will complete everything I am really even mildly interested in.

I like trying all the games. The only carts for me that have been disappointing are Worms (because although Worms is good, it doesn't really have the strength to be its own release), and Atari Arcade 1 (because like half the games really need trackball instead of a d pad to play well)

Worms is fine for a standalone release. They just didn't pick the right games (or enough of them) to make that happen.

I think their options were limited by the power of the system as well as the controls. Worms Armageddon is already a little bit gimped by the lack of the second set of shoulder buttons onnthe original handheld. What other Worms games could they have included?
Worms 2 maybe, but Worms Armageddon is basically the same game but with more stuff.

Yeah, I think you're right. The games I was thinking of came out too late for Evercade's target hardware.
The only options are the original Worms, Worms 2, and the variants/expansions thereof.

Lynx is so stinky. I was like wow I can experience owning a Lynx! In retrospect I wish I hadn't

The Lynx was amazing. It had hardware scaling and rotation before any home console. Of course, that has reduced meaning in 2023, and some of my favorite games are not available on Evercade.

If the Lynx selection in the collections was indicative of the library in general, I don't really care how revolutionary the tech was at the time... Jaguar was the first 64 bit system!

I recognize your sarcasm, but the Jaguar wasn't 64-bit, while the Lynx really was innovative and wasn't even designed by Atari. Of course, neither of those things directly leads to good or bad games.

I was definitely looking forward to the announcement, Piko 1 and 2 are 2 of my favorite carts.
A little disappointed that it doesn't include First Samurai. It's a little known SNES game I randomly tried on an emulator, and I liked it a lot.
Piko owns it as well as it's sequel Last Samurai, which I didn't know existed until I checked their games on Steam.
Still a good list of games.
It would have been nice to get another 20 game collection, but I wouldn't be surprised if we're going to get a volume 4.

EXP LE has finally arrived!
edit: Holy crap! The 20% off code has no expiration date.

I should hope so. I had actually put in to cancel my preorder before I heard that they were getting robbed because I saw it coming before they said it. Whenever they're being quiet before launch, they're not telling people there's yet another delay. Then they took a week and a half to sit on my request before I reminded them it's been a week and a half, then they gave me that offer and I was like "Nah, I'll buy it locally, thanks" "Are you sure about that? You won't get priority if we resell them" "Don't care"

I can't say I expected to wait nine (!?!) months, but it was really only keeping me from Splatterhouse 3 and the Lynx games we've previously discussed. I plan to take full advantage of this voucher though. I want 4-6 carts now, but, as demonstrated, I can be quite patient. 20% off the entire 2023 lineup, and I'll call it even with them.

I finally got my EXP today! This thing is solid! The button mapping seems a bit off, and the sound is delayed on the menus, but I'm at work and haven't updated it yet. I'm definitely pleased with this system and care, right down to the mini posters.

I didn't really notice any menu issues, so an update might fix that up.

Updating helped, but there's still a delay in the sound effects. Not button presses, just the menu sound effects when scrolling.
I'm not one to ever use screen protectors on my devices, but since we got the "official" screen protectors included because of the delay, I thought I would. That didn't last long. The protectors is slightly smaller all the way around from the glass/plastic of the screen space, so it's tough to get it centered. Even then, the raised look isn't attractive to me, so I took the protector off. Anyone else using the screen protector?
