Cool Atari 2600 supercharger with Defender tape and more!

[Marco(2)]

Hi all!

 

I listed a very nice and unusual item on eBay, an Atari 2600 supercharger from Brazil. This unit works with a technique that is different from the one used by the Starpath / Arcadia supercharger.

 

There is an extensive library of tapes available for this "Comp K7" supercharger. This auction includes five of those games, with amazing titles like Defender and Space Invaders!

 

Brazil uses the PAL-M tv signal which is close to NTSC, so most of the Brazilian Atari 2600 games work on American systems/tvs as well.

 

So, what we have here is an item that's not only interesting for collectors, but also for players and techies!

 

If you're interested, please check out the auction at:

So was that Reever Raad you sent me actually Brazilian, as opposed to European?

Heheh, I got it from Brazil, but it looked pretty much like a genuine Taiwanese pirate to me

That's exactly what I thought when I saw it! I'm still shocked that it worked perfectly. What a screwball color palette though!

 

Thanks again Marco. You're on my "recommended dealer/trader" list now, although I think everybody I've ever done a transaction with on AtariAge is so far.
