Blaze Entertainment is delighted to announce its newest Evercade hardware, the Evercade Alpha –  the first Evercade-compatible bartop arcade machine. The Evercade Alpha allows you to change the game. Available in two officially licensed designs from our partners at the legendary arcade game publisher Capcom, Evercade Alpha brings a new evolution to the bartop arcade market. Evercade Alpha comes in two variants, the Evercade Alpha Street Fighter™ Bartop Arcade and the Evercade Alpha Mega Man™ Bartop Arcade. Each pre-assembled unit features 6 unique built-in arcade games that are fan favourites and deeper cuts rarely released in this form factor. The games and arcade designs are officially licensed. You can find the full game list below. In addition to the built-in titles, and unique to the pre-built arcade market, the Evercade Alpha is fully compatible with the Evercade ecosystem, with dual cartridge slots on the device. You can play any Evercade cartridge on the arcade. This gives you the choice of over 50+ cartridges and 500+ arcade, console, home computer, and indie games, that you can play on your Evercade Alpha and physically own – no downloads, no online store, no modding, and no difficult setup. It’s all there to enjoy by simply inserting a cartridge and playing. Each Evercade Alpha comes with competition-grade arcade controls for one player, and two USB ports at the front to allow for local multiplayer for up to two players. You can use any Evercade VS or VS-R controller or a multitude of supported third-party controllers and arcade sticks with the Evercade Alpha. The Evercade Alpha features higher quality components than many in the Bartop arcade space with an 8” high-resolution IPS screen and USB-C power (with cable and plug included), stereo speakers, and a headphone jack at the front of the unit. It comes pre-built in the box so no assembly is required and also has built-in WiFi for any system updates. The unit stands at 410mm tall meaning it will fit in even the smallest households or game rooms. As well as the built-in games, the Evercade Alpha also has a light-up swappable marquee. This means you can change the marquee at the top of the unit to match the game you wish to play, easily and with no tools or fuss. As well as the pre-installed marquee, each Evercade Alpha comes with two additional marquees with others being sold separately.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, a Republican, has filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood for “trafficking children out-of-state to obtain abortions without parental consent.” “We filed suit against Planned Parenthood for trafficking minors out of state to obtain abortions without parental consent. Today is our first court appearance,” Bailey said. “This lawsuit is the culmination of a multi-year campaign to drive Planned Parenthood out of Missouri because of its flagrant and intentional refusal to comply with state law,” he added. This lawsuit is the culmination of a multi-year campaign to drive Planned Parenthood out of Missouri because of its flagrant and intentional refusal to comply with state law. — Attorney General Andrew Bailey (@AGAndrewBailey) June 10, 2024 “Planned Parenthood’s most recent unlawful behavior was captured on video, when Planned Parenthood staff admitted they traffic minors across state lines to perform abortions without parental consent,” he continued. “They admit to doing this ‘every day, every day, every day,'” he added.

I filed suit to ensure it never happens again. — Attorney General Andrew Bailey (@AGAndrewBailey) June 10, 2024   “This is the beginning of the end for Planned Parenthood in the State of Missouri. What they conceal and conspire to do in the dark of night has now been uncovered. I am filing suit to ensure it never happens again,” Bailey said. “As a father who held my daughter in my arms for the single hour of her life before she died, I know firsthand how important it is to protect life. Our children are the future. It is time to eradicate Planned Parenthood once and for all to end this pattern of abhorrent, unethical, and illegal behavior,” he added. Bailey’s office stated in a press release: General Bailey’s lawsuit is the culmination of a multi-year campaign to drive Planned Parenthood from the State of Missouri because of its flagrant and intentional refusal to comply with state law. In the suit, Attorney General Bailey lays out Planned Parenthood’s pattern of statutory violations: In 2018, following at least a half-decade of health-code violations, Planned Parenthood’s facility in Columbia was shut down after staff admitted to having used moldy abortion equipment on women for months. Also in 2018, Planned Parenthood physicians conceded in open court that, for at least 15 years, the organization failed to comply with state law requiring physicians performing abortions to file reports when women experience medical complications from abortions. In 2020, the Administrative Hearing Commission determined that even though Missouri law at the time required that the same physician who performs an abortion be the one to notify the woman of the risks of abortion, physicians at Planned Parenthood were not doing so. Planned Parenthood’s most recent unlawful behavior was captured in an investigative video, when Planned Parenthood staff admitted they traffic minors across state lines to perform abortions without parental consent. Worse, they admit doing this “every day, every day, every day.” The investigation revealed that Planned Parenthood removes minors from school using altered doctors’ notes, transports them into Kansas for abortions, and then quickly returns them—all to avoid the legal requirement to obtain parental consent. It is against the law in Missouri to intentionally cause, aid, or assist a minor to obtain an abortion without parental consent in another state. § 188.250, RSMo. Attorney General Bailey is seeking injunctive relief. “Heading to court in 45 minutes to ensure this behavior never happens in Missouri again. Time to hold bad actors accountable,” Bailey said.

Bailey stated, “This lawsuit is a direct result of the investigation conducted by Project Veritas in November of 2023 that uncovered an agent of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Kansas City, brazenly committed to past, present, and future violations of this state’s laws regarding proper parental consent notification, a conspiracy to traffic women out of state for abortions, and a conspiracy to conceal the sexual exploitation of children.” The lawsuit filed today seeks a court order enjoining Planned Parenthood from concealing sexual offenses committed against minors, and for conspiring to transport minors across state lines for abortions in violation of state statute. Bailey also called upon state policymakers to use the tools necessary to permanently defund Planned Parenthood. As part of the lawsuit the AG’s office will be conducting its own investigation. Planned Parenthood could be facing administrative, civil, and criminal penalties.
