Atari Arcade 2 digs into the early days of video games

Atari Arcade 2 is the third release for the Evercade in 2025. A new Arcade cart, it dives into Atari's history with some hard-to-find titles from the early days that most of us have never heard of, or played. 

Starting with Fire Truck from 1978, so old its in black and white up to popular robot-blasting action games Berzerk from 1980 and 1982's Frenzy are the highlights of the 10-game collection. Rarities include Maze Invaders, a complete Atari prototype never released to arcades, rediscovered in 2014.


The cart hits stores in April and Atari Arcade 2 includes:

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.

Rescue – Take to the skies in this intense helicopter rescue mission, evading 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 where players must negotiate winding city streets while keeping their 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.
