Imagine taking a game console’s entire library to your friend’s house on one cartridge.
Sounds ludicrous right? But that’s exactly what you can do with the Everdrive 64!
I remember back in the 90s when the Nintendo 64 hit the scene. Back then you either had that, the Sega Saturn or a Sony PlayStation unless you had rich parents that could buy you all three.
However, I did not… but we did have the Playstation and I loved the hell out of that system.
Even though I had my Playstation I do remember being unable to avoid the N64’s marketing and seeing games like 007, Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time or Star fox all over the TV. I wanted to play them badly but I made do with games like Crash Bandicoot and Metal Gear Solid.
Now there is a way to play these games and many more on the original hardware instead of using emulators or owning hundreds of games and its known as Everdrive.
The Everdrive cartridge is a legendary idea and today I wanted to take a closer look at it particuarlly for the N64.
