Evercade maker Blaze has just announced not one but two new cartridges, bringing a grand total of 42 new games to the platform.
Activision Collection 1 includes 15 Atari 2600-era games, and is the first in a trio of releases which celebrate the legacy of this industry veteran (the other two carts are expected next year).
“Activision’s early library helped define home console gaming, and we’re excited to bring these iconic titles to Evercade players,” says Blaze CEO Andrew Byatt. “This collection captures the creativity and excitement of the 2600 era, allowing both long-time fans and new players to experience these classics. It’s something our fans have been asking for since we started and we’re delighted we can finally bring them to retro gaming fans everywhere.”
Launching in November at £19.99, $29.99, and €24.99, Activision Collection 1 includes the following games:
Pitfall!
River Raid
Enduro
Megamania
Beamrider
Space Shuttle: A Journey Into Space
Demon Attack
Fishing Derby
Private Eye
Sky Jinks

Alongside the Activision pack, Blaze has also announced The Llamasoft Collection, which includes 27 of Jeff Minter’s most beloved creations.
“This collection contains stuff from the dawn of home computer gaming to the dawn of the 16-bit era,” says Minter. “From raw beginnings it’s a record of a guy trying his best to learn the craft. There’s a lot of experimentation on the way, and some genuine bangers. I hope people will find it interesting and enjoyable.”
This cart is also launching in November and will be priced at £19.99, $29.99, and €24.99. In a unique twist, it will include multiple versions of games “to showcase how there
were significant differences between the same game on different platforms.”
