The only horizontal game be listed on the iCade There is also a board called Beyond Arcade, designed for use with horizontal screens as opposed to vertical. It is difficult to document any other versions of the iCade, as games can be removed from the menu on the 60-in-1 via settings as such, some "unique" game lists may just be one-of-a-kind setups. Their website is the earliest known mention of them, and they were the only place to ever sell the customized 4 and 9-in-1 boards, which implies they had a strong connection to their production. No games were removed in any future variations more were just added at the end of the game list.Īll of these multicades were most likely developed by Taiwanese company Hsin Pao Hang Enterprise Co., Ltd.
A 48-in-1 known as Happy Hours was released after that, with the iCade 60-in-1 following as the final variant. Later, a board with all 39 games included was released called Game Never Over this variation is the only one currently emulatable in MAME. The game list would be customized by the purchaser (from a choice of 39 games), and turned into a 4-in-1 or a 9-in-1 depending on the amount of games.
Some time after this, a new circuit board titled My Classics was released. It was rumored that the games were slightly hacked to avoid copyright infringement (ex: Galaga being renamed to Gallag), but recent videos have confirmed this to be false. You could also order a custom one with your own game list. There were also other variants that replaced Frogger with Donkey Kong, and there were also versions with just Donkey Kong games. The earliest of these is Mini Game Center in 2003, which only features Ms. Several other variants of the board also exist, which all predate the 60-in-1 version. Option of either Xevious or Super Xevious Option of bullet speed either normal or fast.
The end of the list features five duplicates, which are intended to be set up differently than the other versions included in most cases, they are altered to be the speed-up chip versions of the games. The games have been modified to all use the same sound engine, leading to some games having glitched music tracks. Copyrights are removed like in many NES multicarts (although dates are kept), and the default high score initials in certain games are changed to remove company references (although Time Pilot still has "K.O" "N.A" and "M.I" as its top 3 names).
