Atari Asteroids Recharged Pro+ Arcade Cabinet
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
Asteroids Recharged Pro+ is a fully licensed Atari title built in collaboration with Alan-1 in the USA. The 2-player upright runs a redesigned campaign across 256 waves with original five-button controls (now LED-backlit), so the muscle memory of the 1979 cabinet still works on the modern hardware. Cabinet weight is 300 lb installed — a footprint that suits arcade bars, FECs, and home game rooms alike.
Physical effects matter on this title: each cabinet ships with wind blowers that fire during thrust, two rumble motors mounted to the chassis, and a pinball-style cabinet knocker for hit feedback. Online connectivity is included with no monthly fees — connect by Ethernet or WiFi to register for MLeS tournaments and global leaderboard tracking.

Construction
Programmable RGB LED edge lighting runs the full perimeter of the cabinet — useful for setting an attract pattern that pulls foot traffic without changing the cabinet art.
Five-button control panel matches the 1979 layout: left/right rotate, thrust, fire, and hyperspace. Each button is backlit by an individually addressable LED so service techs can spot a dead switch without opening the panel.
Side-by-side two-player setup lets two operators play the campaign simultaneously instead of swapping turns — a meaningful change for tournament locations where dwell time per player matters.
Two rumble motors mounted to the cabinet body, a pinball-style cabinet knocker, and wind-effect fans behind the player station fire during thrust. The result is haptic feedback the original cabinet never had.
The redesigned campaign extends play across 256 waves with tuned power-ups (Explosive Bullets, 7x Burst Shot, Deflectors) calibrated for arcade pacing rather than a console session.
Wired or WiFi connectivity is free for the life of the cabinet — there are no subscription fees for online play, leaderboards, or MLeS tournament features.
Buyer's Guide
Pro+ versus Deluxe: the Pro+ is a 2-player upright weighing 300 lb with a 32 1/8 inch wide cabinet, designed to fit standard arcade footprints, bar walls, and home game rooms with a single doorway. Buyers limited on floor space or doorway clearance should default to the Pro+.
Pro+ versus Deluxe: the Deluxe is a 3-player center cabinet weighing 525 lb — better suited to FECs and larger arcade floors that can accommodate the 51 1/2 inch width and route foot traffic on both sides.
Made-in-USA construction is the differentiator most buyers miss. Many licensed retro reissues are produced in China; Alan-1 cabinets are built in the USA with serviceable wiring runs and standardized control hardware, which materially reduces sourcing time for replacement switches and buttons.
Free online connectivity is also worth weighing against competing platforms. Several arcade tournament platforms charge an annual fee per cabinet for leaderboard and tournament features; the Recharged platform does not.
