mjc12671 Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 I remember a device that one end plugged into the atari 2600 and the other end into a regular tape recorder and then you loaded some games. there werent many games. one was like a maze game the other was an adventure type game. does anyone else remember this? ive been racking my brain.

Nukey Shay Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 You can find them on evilbay occasionally. The games were: Communist Mutants From Space Dragonstomper Escape from the Mindmaster Fireball Frogger Killer Satellites Party Mix Phaser Patrol Rabbit Transit Suicide Mission Survival Island Sweat! - The Decathalon Game Sword of Saros If you want to try them out, you can grab roms for theoldcomputer at a different site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 dragonstomper i think was the adventure type game. which was the maze one. any idea? i used to love the supercharger!! Escape From The Mindmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjc12671 Posted September 13, 2003 Author Share Posted September 13, 2003 Yes those are the two games! When I was younger I played them constantly! my parents could never tear me away, now that i look at the graphics they are kinda frightening, though i'd still play it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellow Atari Man Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 dragonstomper i think was the adventure type game. which was the maze one. any idea? There were two of them, actually, although Escape from the Mindmaster is probably the one you mean, the 3-D one, the other one was Sword of Saros. Maybe it wasn't just a maze game, though--I've yet to play it--but I know there were some mazes involved due to seeing some screenshots of it. And Sweat, which was mentioned earlier, was never released, it was just a prototype. So there are really only 12 games that came out. I'd look around here and the Marketplace forums for Supercharger games to pop up, as they do from time to time, since I just bought two myself on here several weeks ago. (I don't have any extras, though, sorry!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Sword of Saros is a maze game, as well, but its 2D bird eye view as opposed to Mindmaster which is, of course, 3D first person. Both, however, are exceptional games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 to me the starpath supercharger gave the atari 2600 legs. If tramiel had bought out the supercharger and made all atari games for it. the atari 2600 might have actually competed with nintendo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellow Atari Man Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 If tramiel had bought out the supercharger and made all atari games for it. the atari 2600 might have actually competed with nintendo Actually there was supposed to have been a deal in the works with Atari putting out cartridge versions of the Supercharger games (as mentioned with one of the Supercharger prototypes on www.atariprotos.com' date=' although I can't remember which one at the moment) at one point. Too bad it didn't happen. to me the starpath supercharger gave the atari 2600 legs. Exactly! And nice sentiment there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 So Stella never had good legs until the Supercharger was invented? Hmm. I need to pick one up someday myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 yea its amazing what a ram jump from 128 to 6,000+ can do :-) And it doesnt hurt that there aren't any bad supercharger games, either :-) now that I think about it, I'm surrised I didn't think to mention them in one of those 'your favorite developers' threads...
