Message

Welcome to our thirty-first Club VCS Recharged Squad Challenge!!! For this challenge we're celebrating the pending release of Yars Rising on the VCS by revisiting another "Yarian" favorite,Yars: Recharged!

Yars: Recharged is a modern take on Yars' Revenge, the 1982 smash hit for the Atari 2600.  Programmed by the incomparable Howard Scott Warshaw, Yars’ Revenge went on to become the best-selling original title for the platform.  This is quite a legacy to live up to.  At its core, Yars: Recharged is a twin-stick shooter.  It borrows elements of Yars’ Revenge and combines it with a dash of “bullet hell” and a slick future retro aesthetic to deliver a fresh take on HSW’s classic. 

Can you defeat the Qotile for the highest score!?
