Blaze Entertainment has officially unveiled the latest addition to its ever-expanding Evercade compatible Super Pocket range, and this time it’s Activision’s turn to take centre stage.
The Super Pocket Activision Edition joins the growing family of officially licensed handhelds and comes pre-loaded with 34 classic Activision games. As a bonus, like the entire Super Pocket range, you also have access to the full compatibility with the entire Evercade cartridge library. This makes it a budget-friendly entry point in to the wider Evercade ecosystem.
34 Classic Activision Games Included
Whilest many of the builtin titles are a little before my time, there’s some bonafide classics from the Atari 2600 era. These include Pitfall!, River Raid, H.E.R.O., Kaboom!, Keystone Kapers, alongside several well-known Imagic titles such as Demon Attack, Dragonfire and Moonsweeper.

Classic Nostalgic Styling
The handheld itself will be instantly recognisable to fans of Activision’s classic box art. Rather than adopting a single colour scheme like previous editions, Blaze has given the console a distinctive striped design inspired by the iconic rainbow branding that featured across Activision’s packaging throughout the 1980s. It’s easily one of the most eye-catching Super Pocket designs released so far.
As with every Super Pocket, the biggest advantage isn’t just the games built into the system. Thanks to the Evercade cartridge slot, owners can instantly expand their library with hundreds of officially licensed retro games spanning arcade classics, home consoles and computers. That makes the Super Pocket far more than a self-contained nostalgia machine—it also serves as an affordable entry point into the wider Evercade ecosystem.
The announcement also highlights just how much momentum Blaze has built over the past few years. What started with a pair of Capcom and Taito handhelds has grown into a broad range covering Atari, Technōs, Neo Geo, Data East, Rare and now Activision. Few companies are investing as heavily in officially licensed retro gaming hardware, and each new release continues to strengthen Evercade’s position in the market.
Pricing and Release Date
The Super Pocket Activision Edition is available to pre-order now and is scheduled to launch on 28 September 2026, priced at £59.99 in the UK.
For retro gaming fans who fondly remember spending hours chasing high scores in River Raid or swinging across vines in Pitfall!, this could prove to be one of the most appealing Super Pocket releases yet—and another reminder that physical retro gaming continues to go from strength to strength.
