💡 About the Game —————————
Quantum Recharged is the latest entry in Atari’s Recharged series, which reimagines classic arcade, console and computer games from Atari’s back catalog.

The original Quantum was a vector-based arcade game released in December 1982 that used a trackball. You used the trackball to encircle flying atomic particles, and if you touched a particle you lost a life. It was fun but somewhat difficult to encircle particles without dying.

Quantum Recharged takes the original gameplay and adds a great twist, whereby the circle you create generates a black hole that persists for a few seconds and can be strategically used to eliminate pursuing enemies. There are also added challenges to complete to extend and enhance the gameplay beyond the straight up arcade action.


🕹️ First Play Impression ——————

Pros:
✅ great modern neon-like graphics and a smooth frame rate

✅ yet another great techno soundtrack by Megan McDuffee

✅ great way to experience a classic in a modern more accessible way

✅ price is right

Cons:
❌ still somewhat shallow gameplay loop

Verdict:
👍 At $9.99, Quantum Recharged is a fun enough reimagining of an Atari classic, and definitely worth picking up for Atari fans. Other gamers should still try it, but may want to wait for a sale.
