Evercade fans have long pined for an Activision collection. Today, that wish has been made – and then some, with another two collections planned for 2026.
Activision Collection 1 focuses on Atari 2600 titles and is due out in November for £19.99.
The following are included, with the first two titles on the list being highlights:
- Pitfall!
- River Raid
- Enduro
- Megamania
- Beamrider
- Space Shuttle: A Journey Into Space
- Demon Attack
- Fishing Derby
- Private Eye
- Sky Jinks
- Crackpots
- Grand Prix
- Starmaster
- Tennis
- Freeway
“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,” said Blaze Entertainment Ltd’s CEO, Andrew Byatt.
That’s not all, as Blaze also announced The Llamasoft Collection today. 27 games from a variety of ‘80s formats are included, such as the VIC 20, C64, Spectrum, and Atari ST. As Blaze notes, a few games are duplicates – both the VIC 20 and C64 version of Gridrunner are included, for instance, showing what the more powerful hardware was capable of. Incidentally, Iridis Alpha is absent as that made it to THEC64 Collection 1 cartridge.

Andrew Byatt had this to say: “Jeff Minter’s games are like nothing else in the history of gaming. His unique approach to design and gameplay has inspired generations of players and developers. The Llamasoft Collection is both a tribute to his creativity and an opportunity for new players to experience his unmistakable style.”
Highlights here include the three Atari ST games and Attack of the Mutant Camels, although you can’t go wrong with any of the Gridrunners.
This cartridge releases in November for £19.99. Together with the recently announced Rare Collection, this makes for a busy winter for the Evercade. Rumours also persist of Terminator 2D: No Fate gaining an Evercade release in the not too distant future.
