Atari Arcade 2 will be the second compilation of Atari arcade classics to be released for Blaze Entertainment’s Evercade retro console.
Atari Arcade 2 is the successor to, er, Atari Arcade 1, which was released back in 2020, and which compiled 13 titles including Liberator, Lunar Lander, Missile Command, Centipede, Asteroids , and Pong. However, due to Blaze’s license for the first collection expiring, it is no longer available to buy and has been mothballed as a legacy cartridge.
The forthcoming Atari Arcade 2 will include 10 Atari arcade games, namely:
• Berzerk – One of the most legendary arcade shooters, featuring fast-paced maze combat against relentless robotic enemies. Beware of Evil Otto!
• Frenzy – The sequel to Berzerk, introducing destructible walls, new enemy AI, and even more intense gameplay.
• Lost Tomb – A fast-paced top-down adventure that challenges players to escape booby-trapped tombs while fending off dangerous enemies.
• Mine Field – A unique shooter where players must navigate a deadly minefield while blasting enemies and avoiding hazards.
• Moon War – A space combat game where players must defend their moonbases from relentless alien assaults.
• Rescue – An intense helicopter rescue mission, in which you must evade enemy fire while saving stranded paratroopers.
• Tazz-Mania – A fast-paced arcade game where players must fend off hordes of enemies before the walls close in on them.
• Fire Truck – A challenging top-down driving game in which you must negotiate winding city streets while keeping your truck under control.
• Dark Planet – A tricky strategic shooter in which the action unfolds across two distinct layers as players battle to eliminate an alien threat.
• Maze Invaders – A unique arcade hybrid combining maze navigation with action-packed combat and puzzle-solving elements.
Pre-orders for Atari Arcade 2 are set to open on February 25, 2025, with the cartridge set to ship in April 2025.
