Metal Jesus Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 The Starpath SuperCharger was a powerful add-on for the Atari 2600 that allowed games to be loaded from cassette with better graphics and deeper gameplay. The Immortal John Hancock shows us all the games for it plus much more. I imagine there are a lot of people on this forum who own a SuperCharger - Correct? Which are the best games for it? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Good video with lots of information that was new to me. Never really looked into the Supercharger, since it's so damn rare over here in Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I really like Commie Mutants. Some people complain about the plain blocks that must "transform" before descending, but I don't mind that. I like all the gameplay options that can be set from the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I like playing audio files from my iPod or iPhone with all the 2K and 4K games from Atari and 3rd parties. If a 2K or 4K does not work (because it hits a memory location that triggers a bank switch) there are patched versions around. I make a playlist, and set it to ignore during shuffle play due to the piercing screeching of the files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high voltage Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Good video with lots of information that was new to me. Never really looked into the Supercharger, since it's so damn rare over here in Germany. Yes true and here in Europe we had the better box, packed with Phaser Patrol and sometimes (later?) Rabbit Transit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Fantastic video as always Metal Jesus! I was never really interested in the Supercharger until I watched this video. Going to investigate further now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Well at first I was a bit bummed to discover these files won't work on my modded FB2 HOWEVER, I also have a 2600 emulator running on my Wii on the homebrew channel and these Supercharger files play just dandy that way. So then I started some games up like Phaser Patrol .... and ... dear God ...... it's beautiful!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Great video! Here are some photos of my Supercharger collection...

I'll definitely have to try that out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
