You can obviously see that Patrick Stewart is aging but the show wasn't focused solely on him and he did a good job considering. I think season 2 and 3 were actually really really good. The only thing I don't like about TNG timelines is everything they've done with Data. I like that they brought back Brent Spiner but I'm not sure that was the proper use of him.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 12, 2026, 11:26:42 AMThank you @retro junkie --> That's good information to know. I am pretty tempted to go the Evercade route at this point. Although.. I might just not do anything and still look at paring down the collection. Hard to decide right now... but the Evercade Pocket is definitely drawing me.

QuoteWhat's interesting is that you'll never own the device, even after owning it for over two years

The consoles and games are funneled through certain sellers, plus there is eBay. There are some of those European sellers that just do not ship to the US because they do not want to deal with the tariffs.
But going to the Evercade site you will find plenty of US merchants selling the Blaze stuff.
SO I really don't know how that has affected any sales. I have purchased most of my stuff through Songbird and Amazon.

Blaze Entertainment is a European company. Evercade is a European console. Anything that comes to the US is imported. None of the games have the ESRB. There is no US Evercade console. There is no US Super Pocket console. That is the miracle of USB to USB-C power through a tiny power brick.

Last post by retro junkie - February 11, 2026, 04:23:48 PMThe Disney movie here is something that I have wanted for a very long time. It is very rare and usually very expensive when you do find it. And if it is complete it would be in a tin. But the one I got is missing that tin. I ran across it at a steal of a price and grabbed it up. This is a movie I remember from my childhood.
And Eureka is a series that I had forgotten about. But I liked it back when I saw it many years ago during its run.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 11, 2026, 02:43:02 PM@retro junkie - How many of your Evercade carts has the orange box age instead of the ESRB? Or are there any ESRB rated games? I noticed a few of your pictures had the orange box with an age inside it... I think that's the European Region?

The booklet contains both games, you just flip it over for either Tanglewood or Xeneocrisis.
