Let’s take a look at it.
Are these C64 classics?
There has been some discussion over the game selection on the C64 collections for Evercade. In some ways, the lack of true “classic” titles has raised eyebrows, but of course it’s all about the deals that can be made. No, there’s no Turrican or Creatures at this stage, but at the same time, we have had Impossible Mission, Uridium, and Bruce Lee (“Lee”).
And of course, these collections feature as broad a selection of C64 games as possible without running into issues with keyboard commands. Text/graphic adventures are unlikely to land on Evercade, both for C64 and Amiga (and any other platforms that may see a resurgence on the consoles), but there is plenty to choose from.
If these carts sell well, new deals can be struck, with a more varied selection of titles from otheer publishers added.
THEC64 Collection 3 for Evercade is slated for release on February 29th, 2024. Check it out on the Evercade website.
