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

C64 Collection 3 announced for Evercade

 As someone still bashing away at Epyx's Impossible Mission on the first C64 collection, it is great to hear more SID-driven titles are on the way as Evercade's first official announcement for 2024. Bringing a mix of sports, combat, exploring and shooting, there's definitely something for all retro-heads. 

Evercade C64 Collection 3 represents the 6th Home Computer collection and features immense classics including Boulder Dash, Heavy Metal Paradroid, and Summer Games II. Also along for the ride are Jumpman Junior (the original was on C64 Collection 1), Cybernoid II: The Revenge, Neverworld, Deliverence: Stormlord II and Exolon.

See the full release list for more Evercade home console, arcade and computer collections. Note the trailer video seems to be a bit glitchy, guess it'll be fixed soon. The C64 Collection 2 was announced back in February, so hopefully Evercade is picking up the pace a little for 2024. 

Computer Collection 06 arrives in February, pre-orders go live in mid-December. It also brings SuperCycle, Street Sports Soccer and Breakdance for a bit of variety, and very much a flavour of the eighties that the collection so well represents. 

An immediate thought is there are a few too many sequels to games on previous collections, and I'm sure they could easily squeeze a few more games on each cart, but otherwise looking good.
