Blaze just announced an Activision edition of the Super Pocket, and it's for all of you who wondered why classics like Pitfall aren't on the Atari version. You could say that there are just so many gems by the publisher that they deserved their own handheld, and while that's partly true, the publisher is also hoarding a bunch of my favorite 2600 games.
Coming in at the usual $69.99 / $59.99 via HyperMegaTech, the Super Pocket Activision Edition is dressed like a homage to Pitfall. It's wearing a magnificent five-stripe trapezoidal rainbow that borrows design cues from that platformer's box art while using the publisher's original logo color scheme. It certainly looks like something that's packed with 34 licensed '80s classics, and the list includes romps by another big Atari developer.
