@Atari Lynx Cartridge Confirmed with 17 games for @Evercade
February 17, 2020
Evercade, the brand new handheld retro gaming console, today announced the next cartridge in its library – a brand new AtariĀ® Lynx cartridge with 17 games including: Scrapyard Dog, Basketbrawl, Super Asteroids/Missile CommandĀ®, Awesome Golf, Crystal Mines II: Buried Treasure, Dracula the Undead, Malibu Bikini Volleyball and many more.
The new cartridge features content officially licensed from Atari and Songbird Productions to bring these 17 games to the new handheld device, which also connects to your TV via HDMI.
These games are incredibly hard to play in any way currently (shy of owning the original console and cartridges) and shows Evercadeā€™s continued mission to bring quality retro games to a single platform.
The cartridge joins a library of 10 other cartridges which includes content from publishers Atari, Data East, Interplay, Mega Cat Studios, Namco Museum, Piko Interactive and Technos, taking the total to over 135 officially licensed games!
For those of you unaware, Evercade is a brand new console which uses its own retro style game cartridges – giving you a super simple, instant gaming experience – like the good old days. It features a 4.3ā€ screen (the same size as the PSP) and TV output, so you can enjoy retro gaming at home or on the go!
Evercade have confirmed another (yet announced) cartridge is also in the pipeline and they plan to launch 2-5 cartridges this year alongside the 10 cartridges that will be available from launch.
They also recently announced that arcade games would be introduced to the console, expanding the potential library for this device even more!

AFi founder and Editor-In-Chief Daniel ā€œJulius Marxā€ Pickett has been around toys his whole life. The first line he ever collected was Megoā€™s Worldā€™s Greatest Super Heroes line back in the 70s. He has been surrounded by collectables ever since. In 1999 he was confounded by a lack of information and news about some of his favorite toy lines he was collecting. Since he couldnā€™t find the information he decided to pursue it himself thinking other people might also be interested in the same news. He started writing a weekly column on the toy industry and action figure for a toy news site and in a years time he tripled the sites daily traffic with his updates, reviews and product features. He built relationships with every major toy manufacturer and many sculptors, painters and mold makers. He grew his hobby into a world wide expertise that the industry has embraced. In 2004 he teamed up with his toy buddy Jason ā€œToyOtterā€ Geyer and they created their own website www.ActionFigureInsider.com. Daniel has been quoted in both industry and mass media press outlets. Over the years Daniel and AFi have been sought out as experts in the field. Daniel was regularly featured on ā€œAttack of the Showā€ on the G4 network as the primary contributor to their ā€œMint On Cardā€ segment, and our front page has been linked to from USA Todayā€™s ā€œPop Candyā€ Blog twice. Danielā€™s content has also been featured on Bloomberg News, MSNBC.com, Time.com, The Wall Street Journal, The Saturday Evening Post, CNN.com, AssociatedPress.com Wired.com, Fark.com, Boing-Boing, Gizmodo.com, Ainā€™t It Cool News, the Official Star Wars blog, Geekologie, G4, CNet and Toy Fare magazine, among many others. He has consulted on toy lines, books, documentaries and TV shows. But all of that really just sounds snooty and ā€œtootinā€™ his own hornā€ ā€“ the long and short of it is that Daniel loves toys and he LOVES talking about them.
