Message
Welcome to our fifth Club VCS Recharged Squad Challenge!!! For this challenge we're playing Breakout: Recharged! Released in February 2022, Breakout: Recharged is a re-imagining of Atari's classic brick breaker!
Breakout: Recharged was a bit of a departure from the other Recharged titles in that it was the first non-shooter, has a somewhat different visual style, and was the first to offer a three life (ball) mode. We're going to celebrate this by playing in Classic Recharged Mode!
