Evercade Launch Games

The Evercade Premium Pack comes with three game packs, representing the history of Atari, Interplay and Namco. All told they provide 37 games - not bad for a launch day, considering few systems even offer a pack-in title these days. A cheaper pack comes with just the Namco cart.

The Atari cart offers a mix of 2600 and 7800-era games including the classic shooters Tempest and Gravitar, Namco moves things on a bit with Dug-Dug and Pac Man while Interplay is another step up the gaming evolution ladder with 16-bit hits like Earthworm Jim, Battle Chess and ClayFighter.






Additional packs available separately include:

Technos Cartridge 1 (eight games including Double Dragon)
Piko Collection (20 games including Switchblade and Way of the Exploding Fist)
DataEast Cartridge 1 (10 games including Midnight Resistance)
Namco Cartridge 2 (11 games including Galaga and Splatterhouse 2 & 3)
Mega Cat Collection (10 more recent indie games)
Atari Collection 2 (28 games including Solaris, Centipede and Yar's Revenge)
Interplay Collection 2 (8 games including Earthworm Jim 2)




Update, here's an easier-to-follow visual listing showing off all of the launch games on one place.
