Activision Collection 3 is out now on Evercade — Cartridge 52 in the Home Console Collection, following on from Activision Collection 1 and Activision Collection 2. It landed on 26 June 2026, priced at £19.99 / $29.99 / €24.99, with 13 more Atari 2600-era classics on board.
A THIRD ACTIVISION COLLECTION — WHY IT MATTERS
Activision’s back catalogue stretches across decades and dozens of platforms. The first two Evercade collections — Activision Collection 1 and Activision Collection 2 — already gave retro fans a fantastic slice of that history, covering classic home console titles that many players will have fond memories of.
A third collection is a good sign for the platform: it shows there’s clearly appetite from fans for more, and that there’s no shortage of quality games left in the Activision vault to draw from.
True to form, this one leans into the golden age of the Atari 2600 — action, sports, and a couple of genuine rarities thrown in for good measure. Activision has always had range, and Evercade’s Home Console Collection is a fitting home for this material.
WHAT’S ON THE CARTRIDGE
All 13 games are Atari 2600 titles, each with its original manual scan included:
- Barnstorming (1982) — biplane stunt-flying action
- Bridge (1981) — Activision’s take on the card game
- Chopper Command (1982) — one of Activision’s best-known 2600 shooters
- Dolphin (1983) — underwater dodge-and-collect action
- Dragonfire (1982) — treasure-grabbing, dragon-dodging arcade action
- Ice Hockey (1981) — an early Activision sports classic
- Kabobber — an unreleased Atari 2600 prototype that never got a full commercial release back in the day
- Kaboom! (1981) — one of Activision’s biggest-selling 2600 games, catching falling bombs
- Keystone Kapers (1983) — the classic department-store chase
- Laser Blast (1981) — vertical shoot-’em-up
- Pressure Cooker (1983) — fast-paced fast-food arcade action
- The Activision Decathlon (1983) — the multi-event sports showcase title
- Thwocker — another unreleased prototype, making its first proper commercial release here
Two genuine rarities alongside the well-known hits: Kabobber and Thwocker were both unreleased Activision prototypes on the original Atari 2600, so this is one of the few ways to play them on real cartridge hardware today.
Full details, box art, and a manual link for every game are on the Activision Collection 3 page. You can also see where it sits in the wider lineup on the Evercade carts & manuals page, or search for any of these games individually on the Evercade Games Database.
GOOD NEWS FOR RETRO FANS
