Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6.

And then we have The Llamasoft Collection (Computer cart 10) bringing a staggering 27 of Jeff Minter's legendary udder-obsessed games across most home computer formats stretching from the VIC-20 to the Atari ST. This cart includes legendary titles like Gridrunner, Attack of the Mutant Camels and Llamatron 2112, Voidrunner and Hover Bovver, with some variants.

This too hits in November, with a bust festive season lined up for Evercade owners, whatever version of the system they have.
