PSP2, Switch 2 and an Xbox handheld... a brighter portable future?

Gremlin Collection 1 goes Hardcore on Evercade

 Gremlin Graphics were massive in the home computer age, with many of their games looking great on console. A mixed bag of sport, strategy, arcade and puzzler, across the 8-bit, 16- and 32-bit eras, hopefully Evercade cart no. 24 is only the first from Gremlin, as there are many more games across the company's history I'd love to see. 

Zool was blistering bright at the time and the Actua series was a great run across many sports before EA turned up and ruined most series with its licensing clout. The cartridge will be available to pre-order from December 15th and is out on March 31st 2022, with the usual caveat of possible delays.  


Hardcore 4*4 could be the most visually taxing game on the Evercade yet, and Utopia will be "interesting" to play on a control pad. Also, Premier Manager could easily eat up as much time as Football Manager did on my PSP. Full list of games:


• Zool (SNES)

• Actua Soccer (PlayStation) 

• Premier Manager 97 (Mega Drive) 

• Hardcore 4X4 (PlayStation) 

• Utopia: The Creation of a Nation (SNES) 

• Brain Bender (Game Boy)
