I will respond in these threads as well.
I am drooling a bit... Brikinger Ironclad is a pretty cool game. I played it on the Neo Geo CD many years ago. I sold all of them... definitely wanted to keep one for myself, but never did. One of the deals that imploded (I was scammed) by a trusted person / seller... had about 7-13 copies of Brikinger brand new. I keep praying that the package will someday appear out of no where like it was lost in customs. I know the items exist ... just never got them.
Anyway, this is an awesome collection. This REALLY makes me want to get the Evercade Pocket. The games on this cart are pretty essential to the Neo Geo collection. While Magician Lord gets a little boring to me these days... I still consider it essential to a Neo Geo collection.
Nice collection man!
I bet @targetrasp agrees

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 06, 2026, 02:46:58 PM@retro junkie --> do you have a good link to the soundtrack online?
You had me at UN Squadron... because of this thread, I ended up rewatching part of the video on this thread AND bumping the thread:
https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/retro-gaming-and-hardware/un-squadron-full-run-on-gamer-difficulty/
Before reading everything... I read City Connection... I immediately thought, I wonder if this is related to Jaleco in some way LOL. Yup it was. I used to play City Connection on the NES with my childhood buddy.
This game looks awesome and I want to try it out. Great post @retro junkie -- Can this be acquired on any of the online platforms? IE Nintendo Storm, Steam...etc?

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 06, 2026, 02:43:46 PMbumping this up. This is still a really cool view.
The sound and music of this game will forever be burned in my mind as a super happy place. This is one of my favorite games of all time. The second stage in the clouds during the storm... pretty cool stage. The bonus stages are fun as well. Hard to pick my favorite stage.
This got a bump because of @retro junkie's post relating it to UN Squadron:

Retro Gaming and Hardware / Evercade: Neo Geo Arcade Colle...
Last post by retro junkie - February 05, 2026, 05:51:13 PMYou cannot view this attachment.
Well, finally I got a hold of the Neo Geo Arcade 1. One Merchant got a new supply so at a good price of 29USD I was able to obtain a copy. The Buzzards and Vultures of eBay did not pick my wallet clean.
Having the Neo Geo Arcade 1 completes my collection of the three available carts for the Evercade and Super Pocket consoles. There had been talk last year of a fourth cart but everything has been silent so far this year. I will keep my ear to the ground. Really, this has been the only series of multi carts coming from Blaze that I can say that every game on the cart is a winner for me. Usually it is one or two games that peak my interest and cause me to consider if it would be worth it. With 14 games on the Super Pocket Neo Geo edition plus the 18 games on the combined carts, that is 32 Neo Geo games total.
The games on this collection,
The King of Fighters 2000
Metal Slug
Shock Troopers
Magician Lord
Sengoku
Ironclad

Ironclad was the one game on this cart that I had not played before. It is a worthy title of your gaming time if you love shmups like I do. Good selection of ships with their strengths and weaknesses. Very satisfying side scrolling "shoot everything that moves" fun.

I received an update on my Evercade VS-R. I now can go into the settings and have the option of MVS or AVS gameplay for the Neo Geo games. Awesome!!! The Super Pockets are not upgradable, so you are stuck with arcade play only.

I play these games with the heavy scanlines option. That is the only way that they look right to me. The Evercade VS-R is the only console that I have owned that does the scanlines correctly.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 05, 2026, 03:24:17 PM@Grindspine I bet that looks and sounds awesome lol... I bet Eternal Darkness on the Gamecube has a potential to look awesome on that TV too.
Also, a tribute to the Wega and that one Unearth DVD of the concert we watched:

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 05, 2026, 03:08:55 PMLOL... @retro junkie ... of course I had to ask 
Man... Earthion... I really wish I got the Switch version. This looks pretty nice on the Genesis.
Quote from: CreepinDeth on January 08, 2026, 10:37:42 PMI think there are a couple of new digital games for N64 that push that hardware to the limit.I agree and think it is amazing as well. In fact, I still think it's amazing. That's one of the "things" I wanted to do with EGA back in the day... really start supporting and offering a launch base for new products for old consoles (SNES, Genesis, Jaguar... etc etc).
This one popped up on my radar from a couple of "Best of 2025" videos and I was able to see why. Love it.
