In a world where physical media matters now more than ever, Evercade are leading the way with physical carts we can actually hold and slot into machines, all with full games on there to play and no need to download content at a later date! If you've come across Evercade before, then you'll already know that all of their cartridges can be played across all of their devices including the HyperMegaTech! Super Pocket handhelds.

And if this is the first time you're hearing about them, then now you know!

Blaze, Evercade's parent company, announced their Activision Collection 1 today, with 15 legendary games for the Atari 2600 all on one cartridge. Yes, Blaze are continuing their mission to keep the hard work of devs from the Golden Age of Gaming alive on all of their systems, and this collection has some of the most iconic and influential games from a time when console gaming was first taking over the world.
