Message

Welcome to our 13th Club VCS Recharged Squad Challenge!!! This marks the one year anniversary round for the Club VCS Recharged Squad Challenge! In our very first round, we played the original Missile Command: Recharged released in 2020. 

This time, we're celebrating our anniversary with the 2022 update to the title: Missile Command: Recharged (2022)! Missile Command: Recharged is a reimagining of the beloved Atari arcade classic. Survive wave after wave of enemy attacks in this fast-paced, arcade action game. Players must defend their bases by shooting down an endless barrage of missiles hailing from the sky. Launch counter-missiles to protect your base and target powerups to gain an edge at critical moments. The first of Atari's Recharged series, Missile Command: Recharged effectively set the stage for things to come.  It took the basic premise of the arcade original, adds power-ups, a future-retro aesthetic and an endless arcade loop. The 2022 update enhances the visuals and adds a mission mode to bring the game in line with the rest of Atari's Recharged series. 

How long can you defend your cities against the enemy onslaught?

Hello! After finding time to loacte the hotfix and to install Etcher in order to flash my  Club VCS Recharged Squad Challenge! However, I say this with a caveat as I'm hoping I followed the challenge rules correctly.

 

Was I supposed to upgrade this game prior to playing? I just purchased the game and jumped right in. So if I did this correctly, then here's my entry of 16,425.

 

P.S. My VCS profile is Marco1019. I will do the follow-for-follow. I'm happy to join this community!
