Evercade is a handheld console that plays retro games on cartridges, including classics like Pac-Man, Double Dragon, and more from the likes of Atari, Namco, and Interplay.

It’s not exactly hard to play old games. There are plenty of ways to get a retro fix outside of collecting the original hardware: plug-and-play consoles, classic game collections, and subscription services like Nintendo Switch Online. Even so, Evercade’s solution is something different. At its most basic, Evercade is a solid handheld device, sort of like an updated version of the Game Boy Advance that can also connect to your TV.

The Namco Museum collection, for instance, features the obvious titles like Pac-Man, Dig Dug, and Galaxian. But there are also some oddities, including the Japan-only platformer Mappy Kids and Libble Rabble, a strange little arcade game from Pac-Man designer Toru Iwatani. Meanwhile, the Technōs collection is incredible for fans of classic beat ‘em ups, with three different Double Dragon games alongside River City Ransom, Crash N’ the Boys, and Renegade.
