Atari & Technos In Your Pocket
Not content with a revision of both the Evercade EXP and VS, two now bartop arcade machines and a selection of carts for the Evercade platform, Blaze have decided to add two more wallet-friendly handheld machines to their Hyper Mega Tech line.
Coming out in October of 2024, coming in at £49/$59/€59, Blaze is release a Technos handheld with 15 games preloaded on, and an Atari handheld with a staggering 50 games preloaded on. In both cases we have many games that are already available on carts for Evercade consoles, but there are also some new games not seen on Evercade before. Hyper Mega Tech might not be for everyone, especially if you already own those Evercade carts, but for someone looking for a way to play some licensed retro games – and maybe take a step toward the Evercade platform – the more affordable Hyper Mega Tech machines might be worth a look.
Playing videogames, writing about videogames, considering videogames—that about sums it up. Videogames are the one hobby that I’ve kept since I was only little, zapping ducks on the NES or knocking out MR. X. And when I’m not enjoying classics from the bit generation of games or checking out those earliest of polygons, I’m probably playing something from today’s age of modern gaming: if I’m not complaining about it. Something I’m doing at the moment? Returning to the black hole that is Football Manager.
