Evercade's James Pond and Last Ninja bundle pre-orders are open
You can now secure the upcoming two-cartridge set featuring 18 classic Amiga, C64, and ZX Spectrum games, plus an exclusive mouse mat.
Pre-orders are officially open for the combined Evercade cartridge bundle featuring the James Pond Collection and the Last Ninja & IK Collection. Priced at £64.97 on Funstock, the two-cartridge set ships on December 4 and includes an exclusive Evercade Retro Pop Mouse Mat. I love Evercade. They keep physical collecting fun, and I have a complete collection. <-BRAG!
The ocean's top spy
Stay out of bubble, because the ocean's top spy is coming. The first cartridge lets you explore the complete James Pond series with four 16-bit hits. Created by Chris Sorrell at Millennium Interactive in 1990, the franchise debuted on the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST before finding massive success on the Sega Mega Drive.
The collection includes the original James Pond: Underwater Agent and its environmentally themed adventures. You also get the colourful platforming of James Pond 2: Codename: RoboCod, which introduced the famous stretchable torso mechanic. Rounding out the set is a trip to the moon in James Pond 3: Operation StarFI5H, along with some friendly (and rather silly) competition in the sports spin-off The Aquatic Games.
Three computers, fourteen ninjas
The second cartridge asks you to fight for your life in a massive collection of martial arts hits from System 3. You can explore the The Last Ninja series, including multiple versions of each game across the C64, Atari ST, and ZX Spectrum home computer releases. The bundle packs in The Last Ninja, Last Ninja 2: Back with a Vengeance, and Last Ninja 3, plus the Ninja Remix enhanced versions for both the C64 and ST.
It also includes Archer Maclean's pioneering fighting games. You can compete in one-on-one and three-way free-for-all karate competitions in International Karate and IK+. Just like the ninja titles, these include the C64, ST, and ZX Spectrum ports, letting you directly compare the visual differences and argue about which SID chip soundtrack is superior.
The Evercade ecosystem provides best-in-class emulation of these home computer classics. You can overcome their trickiest challenges with modern features, including save states, which is practically a requirement for surviving 8-bit European game design. Both cartridges are fully compatible with all Evercade consoles and Super Pocket devices.
