StanJr Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 you gotta have a VCS and TV too! Seriously, all 12 Starpath games were produced on cassettes and played through the Starpath Supercharger. You can read more about it here: http://www.atariage.com/company_page.html?...emFilterID=2600 Collecting Starpath games has become something of an obsession for me. I'm half way to having them all!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleep Posted October 17, 2002 Author Share Posted October 17, 2002 wow stanjr after reading that i want a superchrager now! is that add on hard to come by? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 I finally won a supercharger on ebay and it's on it's way thru the mail.I always eyed buying this item 'in the day',but just couldn't afford it back then.Be warned, the boxed supercharger games are getting pricy...

Sleep Posted October 17, 2002 Author Share Posted October 17, 2002 i just searched ebay and came up with nothing. i really want one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 You can play it on a supercharger or a Cuttle Cart. But you'd probably have an easier time finding a Supercharger now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 I picked up a supercharger at the Cinciclassic. I believe it was the only one there for sale--and I almost passed it by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 I bought my Supercharger off EBAY for $25. That is about the price I would expect to pay for one loose. I have seen loose games as cheap as $3 and as high as $15 (and of course stuff like Party Mix and Survival Island go for upwards of $80-$100). I have seen boxed games for as little as $10 and as much as $50. It is addictive, and even though everyone will say "You should just buy the Stella Brain CD," there is just something about having and playing the tapes that makes it more, I don't know, "authentic" maybe! Happy Hunting, I've been chasing Starpath stuff for about a year now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 I'm going to look for a Supercharger now, too. Looks like a neat little add-on, though I'm a bit worried about cassettes: what if the tape got wrinkled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 If the tape is wrinkled, you are screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just backup the tape onto a nice high quality cassette or make your own cassette recording from the cd for that "authentic" feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night Phantom Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 If the tape is wrinkled, you are screwed. This is the reason I have Stella Gets a New Brain. I like having the cassettes, as well as the manuals and packaging, but I don’t like depending on technology so fragile as audiotape. I figure having both SGNB and (some of) the original Supercharger game materials is the best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you own a Supercharger, there is NO GOOD REASON not to own SGANB! If you don't own one, then I'll relent, but no excuse otherwise!

If you own a Supercharger, there is NO GOOD REASON not to own SGANB! If you don't own one, then I'll relent, but no excuse otherwise! Absotively. I've never taken my set of tapes out except to inspect them. I use the Stella CD exclusively, plus some nice other games I can boot with Supercharger as well thanks to SS. It's a perfect set-up; I have a discman I can use during the day while working on my website, and at night when I'm relaxing I turn it around the other way, put the cord in the headphone jack, and plug the SC into the Jr. sitting on my desk next to the printer. As Stimpy would say, "Oh joy!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, the time it would take to make my own backups is worth a lot more than $5... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
