Just getting started with this one.  Not a bad start.  This weekend is going to an Asteroids and Donut Dodo type of weekend.  🤪
 
 

I might give this a go if I get the time since I really like this game but I never was very good at it so I doubt I will get anywhere near that 540k.

Just realized this is a Mame challenge.
I thought it was VCS so I won't be participating but it is a great game.
Strange that I think only the 1st secret on the 1st level seems to work in the VCS Vault version.
I can't get the 3rd level secret to work on VCS.

I could be doing it wrong, please do double check the 3rd level secret.

Will be picking this one up tonight.  If it's anything like the 2600 version i'll be flipping the score in not time.  🤣

Congrats Joe!  Black Widow just wasn't my cup of tea.  Looking forward to the challenge with Asteroids, I think i'll fair much better with that one.  🤞

We took down the previous leaderboard leader WV Underdog.  He is definitely not an "underdog".
Lets take him down again in Asteroids. HAHA!

Black Widow is great fun and I enjoyed chasing the high score.
Congrats to Joe and everyone for participating.
If everyone had a good time playing and high score chasing then we are all winners.

the biggest challenge in this game seems to be the UFO ships that come from the left side of the screen and shoot at you so keep your eye on the left side and try to shoot them before they shoot you

YES!  I will attempt to purchase this one on VCS and will ask for help if I need it.  My tech support (children) are all moved out!

Message
Welcome to our fourth Club VCS Recharged Squad Challenge!!! For this challenge we're playing Asteroids: Recharged!
Asteroids: Recharged is a modern take on Ed Logg's seminal 1979 arcade space shooter. Like all games in Atari's recent "Recharged" series, it includes a neon vector-like graphic aesthetic and more modern gaming elements like power-ups, leaderboards, challenges, achievements and more.  With the 10 exclusive challenges and multiple control options, the VCS version is an easy recommendation for fans of the original game.  The overall design of the game - both aesthetically and in terms of gameplay - honors its arcade inspiration.  Simply put, if you like Asteroids, you should enjoy Asteroids: Recharged.
