Four sealed collector limited editions are competing for your shelf: a modern indie deckbuilding horror with a special reserve cover, a multi-game DOOM cartridge for Evercade, a Switch game bundled with a board game, and a retro handheld release from Limited Run Games and Crunchyroll. The price spread runs from $49.99 to $65, so the decision is less about money and more about which edition fits the way you actually play.
Quick Take
- The lowest-priced pick is the Evercade DOOM Collection, which puts 9 games on one cartridge for Evercade systems.
- The Eastward Collector's Home Edition is the only one that gives you both a physical Switch cartridge and a separate tabletop game.
- The Inscryption SRG/Devolver Edition is a limited new printing of Inscryption with a Special Reserve reversible cover.

Product Notes
Evercade 11 The Doom Collection
As the lowest-priced pick in this lineup, it's the one to grab if you want a wide retro blast. The cartridge collects DOOM, DOOM II, and seven bonus map packs for 180 levels of demon-blasting action, and it comes with a full-color manual. It's compatible with Evercade handheld, arcade, and home console systems, so it works across the whole Evercade family of hardware. The flip side is that it's an Evercade-only release: if you don't own an Evercade system, you'll need to pick one up to play it. For retro enthusiasts who already have the hardware, this is a straightforward, low-price way to add a legendary shooter to a physical collection.
Inscryption Switch - 2024 SRG Devolver Edition
This is a new, limited-quantity run of Inscryption, fresh from Special Reserve Games and presented as the SRG Devolver Edition. The cartridge comes in brand-new condition, and this special edition includes a Special Reserve reversible cover with the new Rat Art, so it stands out on a Switch shelf. Its position in the middle of the price range makes it a balanced pick. The limitation is a physical one: this edition does not include any extra items such as a manual or cards. You're paying for the game cartridge and the special cover, not a treasure chest of extras. If you're a fan of Inscryption's deckbuilding horror and want a brand-new copy with an alternate cover, this is the one.
Eastward Collector's Home Edition
At the top of the price range, it's also the most direct mashup of video game and tabletop. The package is a limited first-of-its-kind collection of 3,000 that includes the official Eastward board game for 2-4 players, designed by Erich Meyer, alongside a physical Switch game cartridge and case. Inside you'll find a foldout board, ingredient, item, and miasma cards, four character standees, and an instruction pamphlet. The limitation is that the board game requires at least two players, so this isn't the pick for solo-only gaming. It's a Switch game plus a board game in one box, which makes it a fit for someone who wants both a digital and analog way to revisit Eastward.
Hime's Quest Limited Run Games x Crunchyroll, Sealed Edition
This is the one for Game Boy Color collectors. It's a limited-run collaboration between Limited Run Games and Crunchyroll, with an E rating and an action-adventure focus. Its price sits near the middle, close to Inscryption's, but the experience is for an entirely different era of gaming. The trade-off is the platform: this is a Game Boy Color cartridge, so it appeals most to collectors who still play or display GBC games. If you're building a GBC collection and want a NTSC-U/C release from Limited Run Games x Crunchyroll, this stands out for its rarity and the collaboration.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
If you already own Evercade hardware and want the most playable collection for the lowest price, go with the Evercade 11 The Doom Collection. If you want a Switch game plus a multiplayer component, Eastward Collector's Home Edition is the pick. If your focus is a special edition of a modern indie with an alternate cover, choose the Inscryption SRG/Devolver Edition. And if you're growing a Game Boy Color library, the Hime's Quest Limited Run Games x Crunchyroll edition is your target.
