This collection also introduces a new system to Evercade with the long-awaited and much-requested Spectrum now a part of Evercade's emulation capacity.

This cartridge will be part of Evercade's red-colored home console line and will be numbered #48, but given its split between a mix of systems, it will have a reversible cover so that collectors can decide to pair it with the blue-colored Home Computer line. It releases in November 2025, with pre-orders opening on September 30, 2025, through Evercade retailers.

"Rare's early games represent an incredible legacy of experimentation and charm," said Blaze Entertainment Ltd's CEO, Andrew Byatt. "From their earliest Spectrum titles to their later arcade and handheld hits, Rare Collection 1 is our tribute to their evolution and an exciting way for new and old fans alike to rediscover these classics."

This cartridge is compatible with all Evercade hardware, past and present, and fully supported on HyperMegaTech! Super Pocket systems, giving fans a variety of ways to play these classics on the go or at home.
