\nRetro specialist Evercade has unveiled a bit of a treat for Rare fans: a cute little handheld device featuring 14 of the legendary British developer’s games, spanning right back to its earliest days.

\nOfficially known as the Super Pocket Rare Edition, it’s a vaguely Game Boy shaped handheld<\/a> sporting some eye-catchingly vibrant primary hues (basically, the standard Super Pocket with a bit of Rare flair). It’s got a 2.8″ 320\u00d7240 IPS Screen, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and supports USB-C charging. Additionally, it’s fully Evercade compatible, meaning you’re not just limited to its 14 included games – it also works with the company’s library of 75+ cartridges, covering over 650 titles.
\n<\/p>\n
\nBut it’s the included games you’ll probably be most curious about, and Evercade has pulled together a pretty nice selection – albeit heavily favouring Rare’s early 8-bit output, when it was still known as Ultimate Play the Game. You do get the studio’s much-loved platformer Banjo-Kazooie alongside the likes of Battletoads, but after that we’re firmly in the realm of classics like Knight Lore, Atic Atac, and Lunar Jetman. Here’s the list in full:
\n<\/p>\n
\nConker\u2019s Pocket Tales (8-bit handheld console)
\nBattletoads in Battlemaniacs (16-bit console)
\nBattletoads (8-bit console)
\nCobra Triangle (8-bit console)
\nR.C. Pro-Am II (8-bit console)
\nSlalom (8-bit console)
\nSnake Rattle \u2018n\u2019 Roll (8-bit console)
\nSolar Jetman: Hunt for the Golden Warpship (8-bit console)
\nAtic Atac (home computer)
\nJetpac (home computer)
\nLunar Jetman (home computer)
\nKnight Lore (home computer)
\nGunfright (home computer)<\/p>\n
\nAnd if you’re wondering how much this adorable little nostalgia machine might set you back, the (officially licensed) Super Pocket Rare Edition will cost \u00a349.99\/\u20ac59.99\/$69.99 when it launches this June. And if that’s got you sufficiently tempted, pre-orders are now open<\/a>.
