More Galeco Arcade Greats Come To Evercade
It was great to see how many Evercade fans loved discovering the great titles on the first Gaelco Arcade collection. A feast of hidden treats for many and a source of great nostalgia for others, the Spanish arcade great is back with even more fun titles!
Like the collection before it, the Gaelco games are the subject of interest to many arcade connoisseurs due to difficulty in correct emulation. Many games had security measures placed on the board which rendered many unusuable or incomplete. But in the last few years much work has been done with passionate groups of fans and arcade historians, who we've been working with to bring these collections to Evercade.
The six included games are:
Big Karnak
Maniac Square
Squash
TH Strikes Back: Thunder Hoop 2
Touch and Go
World Rally 2
Gaelco Arcade 2 will be vailable to pre-order today from all good retailers May 31st ahead of the release in July 2022!
