Famous arcade name Atari has announced a partnership with US coin-op manufacturer Alan-1 that will see the pair produce a number of new arcade cabinets based on Atari’s popular Recharged games.
Designed for FECs, bar arcades and other location-based entertainment venues, at least 10 full-size Recharged arcade cabinets will be released over the next three years.
The games will be powered by Alan-1’s Video Arcade System and will also feature ticket redemption and Major League eSports, with players able to be notified on their mobile phone when someone has beat their high score.
Luke Anderson, chief game designer at Alan-1, said: “Our games will be new and fresh while providing nostalgic experiences. We have also created fun, innovative classic game mechanics combined with modern interactive mechanical effects that will delight players of all generations.
“We look forward to releasing several games in collaboration with Atari over the years and bringing them to many locations nationwide. It is our hope that a new generation will experience the thrill and excitement of competitive location based hyper-casual arcade fun.”
Ethan Zoubek, president of Atari, added: “The Recharged Series has reintroduced some of Atari’s most recognised and celebrated titles to new generations of players.
“We are excited to be working with a leader in the arcade space to bring these games to an even wider audience.”
