Alan-1 Missile Command Recharged Pro+ 2 Player

The legendary Missile Command returns to the arcade after 45 years with modern enhancements and dual-player action.

Overview

Alan-1’s Missile Command Recharged Pro+ brings Atari’s nuclear defense classic into the modern arcade with stunning hand-crafted artwork and dual-player stations. This commercial-grade upright cabinet features RGB LED trackballs, physical effects including wind blowers and shaker motors, and the exclusive “Big Red Button” Alpha-1 Protocol for emergency screen clearing. Debuting at California Extreme 2025, this is the first new arcade iteration of the iconic game in 45 years.

Key Features

Pro+ Exclusive Physical Effects

Dynamic RGB LED T-Molding with high-quality addressable LEDs, RGB LED Trackballs, wind effect fans for each player, dual rumble motors, and internal pinball knocker create an immersive sensory experience that elevates gameplay beyond traditional video games.

Dual-Player Competition

Two complete player stations each feature an RGB LED trackball and three action buttons, allowing simultaneous play and head-to-head competition that doubles earning potential during peak hours.

Alpha-1 Protocol Big Red Button

The exclusive “Big Red Button” DEFCON control activates the Alpha-1 Protocol superzapper function to clear all threats from the screen when players feel overwhelmed. Limited uses create strategic decision-making while a cooldown timer on missile bases adds risk-reward mechanics.

Enhanced Game Content

Defend all 50 U.S. States plus Washington D.C. with hand-drawn state-specific backgrounds, restored nuclear mushroom cloud graphics, wave-based gameplay with “DEFEND CITIES” text and “THE END” screen, improved collision detection, professional voice overs, enhanced power-ups, and completely rebalanced game flow for modern arcade play. Operators can customize which state appears first.

Premium Display and Audio

32-inch 4K HD screen delivers crystal-clear visuals while the 2.1-channel audio system with subwoofer and amplifier ensures every explosion and sound effect commands attention across the venue floor.

MLeS Tournament Integration

Built-in Major League eSports integration enables global leaderboards, tournament competition, score tracking, and notifications. WiFi connectivity with no ongoing fees keeps operating costs predictable while the operator app allows remote machine monitoring and settings changes. Tournament-ready for Alan-1 Championship events.

Flexible Revenue Options

Supports both coin operation and card swipe systems, with optional eTicket redemption capability that can be operator-enabled through the service menu for additional earning potential.

How It Plays

Players become nuclear missile base commanders, using trackball controllers to aim defensive missiles at incoming atomic threats. Fire from one of three base buttons to create defensive explosions that stop enemy nukes before they destroy your six cities. Each set of 7 waves takes place in a different U.S. state, cycling through all 50 states plus Washington D.C. Wave-based gameplay includes challenge modes after the wave 6 boss fight with limited ammo, while power-ups provide temporary advantages and the Alpha-1 Protocol offers strategic emergency clearing with cooldown risks.
