In 2020 ATARI started reviving a series of classic games creating new Berzerk: Recharged, Quantum: Recharged, Caverns of Mars: Recharged, Asteroids: Recharged, Centipede: Recharged, Black Widow: Recharged, Breakout: Recharged, Gravitar: Recharged, Missile Command: Recharged and Yars: Recharged.
Last year coin-op manufacturer Alan-1 signed an agreement with the fuji shaped company to bring most if not all recharged games back to arcade. Yes, 50 years after Pong ATARI is back to where it all started! Of course one could question the interest in some of the recharged games but the first one to be hosted by a great looking cabinet is Asteroids Recharged and please don't tell me you wouldn't love to play this!
Funny thing in my opinion is that when we were teenagers we would roam arcade halls with eyes wide open watching beauties that we would not enjoy at home. Decades later and now that hires or even 4K graphics are well installed in houses I feel like going back to arcade and play simple but fun games especially if you can play with a friend, I mean a real friend not another anonymous online player.
Should you have a few thousands euros or dollars you would like to get rid of you can also buy your own cabinet from Alan-1!
