+Allan Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Is anybody aware of Dragonstomper & Escape from the Mindmaster from Starpath ever being programmed for the Atari 400/800/XL/XE? Allan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 The reason I asked was because I came across an internal doc from Starpath. I scanned it and attached it below. Allan Starpath_Internal_Docs.pdf 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Working your way thru you will see a couple of goodies.... looking at the list you also will find a crap ton of people who might know where stuff is or even still have hiding in storage or some corner of whatever their current business is..... A cold calling master should probably tackle this job.... you never know when a few hundred to a couple thousand of something will turn up again.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 The reason I asked was because I came across an internal doc from Starpath. I scanned it and attached it below. Interesting. Dragonstomper looks like a pretty cool RPG for a 2600 game. I'd never seen it before. It could have been pretty decent on the 8-bits...

Keatah Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 There should be a sticky thread for such things as this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) I'd heard of the Starpath Supercharger for the 2600 before, but I didn't realize which games were used by it. Their version of Frogger is really good for the 2600, and their other games are all of high quality too. I guess they were destroyed by the video game crash too. It would be nice to find out if any remnants of these 400/800 games can be found, even if they're only available on cassette.

Jinroh Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Oh man that would be sweet, I love me some Dragonstomper, it would be really rad on the A8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draugr Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Dragonstomper was a KILLER RPG on the 2600. My brother & I played it many times back in the day and I still play it on the emulators. If there was an Atari 800 or 8-bit release, I'd love to see it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo-Torch Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Dragon Stomper is great game and I played it through just last week for the first time in ages. Escape from the Mindmaster is amazing and one of my favorite games from 30 years ago and still today. 3D environment, avoid aliens, solve puzzles and play mini games...20 years ahead of its time. Suicide Mission is another favorite and was always so much more fun than any version of Asteroids including the arcade games. I still can't get over the squirming vector graphics. I can almost swear I've seen Escape from the Mindmaster for the Atari 8 bit line but maybe I'm just thinking of the Colecovision release. I remember buying my Super Charger and playing Phaser Patrol and Frogger...a $45 accessory that allowed my 2600 to play games that were right up there with CV and any of the 8 bit computers.
