Starpath

Starpath

Starpath was a U.S. company known for creating the "Starpath Supercharger" in 1982. The company was founded in 1981 under the name Arcadia Corporation, but it changed its name to Starpath shortly after for trademark reasons (Emerson Radio Corporation had released a video game console named the Emerson Arcadia 2001).

The Starpath Supercharger was an add-on for the Atari 2600 video game console that expanded the machine capabilities by adding additional RAM, allowing for higher resolution graphics and larger games, and by providing a connector to which a regular cassette player could be connected, thus permitting larger games, stored on tape, to be loaded. The Supercharger was connected to the Atari's cartridge slot.

Starpath merged with Epyx in 1983.
