BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
Blaze Entertainment’s Evercade library is growing with another classic name in gaming, as Rare Collection 1 arrives later this year.
Classic ‘Toads, and a bunch more
In the 80s and 90s, Rare’s name was up there with some of the greatest developers in the industry. The company had a huge swath of hits, rolling from one generation to another, and even including the arcades. Since then, those big games have been fewer and farther between, but longtime fans know all about its legacy. And with that in mind, Blaze Entertainment is about to bring that back-catalog to its Evercade line of consoles.
Just revealed today, Rare Collection 1 will come packed with 12 games, covering a number of genres. Included will be some big names from the 8bit generation too, like RC PRO-AM, Cobra Triangle, an assortment of ZX Spectrum titles, and… Battletoads.
Yes, that classic console action title with Zitz, Rash, and Pimple will be onboard for the collection, but that’s not all. Included right along with Battletoads will be its oft-forgotten arcade version. How’s that for a nice little surprise?
In all, Rare Collection 1 will include:
- Jetpac
- Lunar Jetman
- Atic Atac
- Sabre Wulf
- Underwurlde
- Knight Lore
- Gunfright
- Battletoads
- R.C PRO-AM
- Cobra Triangle
- Battletoads Arcade
- Conkers Pocket Tales
Along with today’s announcement, we also got word that it won’t be too long before Rare Collection 1 actually lands for Evercade’s consoles, handhelds, and bartops. The set of classics will be going up for pre-order this September, and then shipping out some time in November. Just in time for a Rare Holiday Season.
