  AGH -- Third Party Profile: Starpath
The Starpath Supercharger was unveiled in 1982, and was a plug-in device which expanded the Random Access Memory (RAM) of the Atari VCS almost 50-fold, from 128 to 6,272 bytes.
Starpath games were recorded on audio cassettes, achieving greater memory capacity and reduced cost of cassettes.
Although Starpath was the only company to support its peripheral with software, its software lineup was completely devoid of duds, and was filled with playable titles with graphical flair.

 MayhemUK Commodore 64 archive
The transition to Starpath was not entirely smooth, and the officers of the company went through several other names along the way.
The Starpath Supercharger was a device that plugged into the Atari 2600 and gave the machine more memory and the ability to load games from tape (for those who don't know what it is).
Starpath was founded by Craig Nelson and Bob Brown (two former Atari employees) with the express purpose of freeing the 2600 from one of its most confining limitations: the system contained only 128 bytes of RAM.

By having multiple loads Starpath was able to increase the complexity and length of their games in such a way that would have been impossible on an 4K or 8K cartridge.
As the title title suggests, Escape From the Mindmaster is a strategy game in which the player must solve devious puzzles in an attempt to impress the Mindmaster, an devious being who has kidnapped and imprisoned you in a giant maze.

What happened to Starpath Company was originally Arcadia until Emerson released their Arcadia 2001; made change to avoid potential legal troubles (and probably needn't have bothered).
The end of Starpath: apparently some "firm commitments" for sales didn't come through, and they ran out of money.
The mail order games: At the end, Starpath (Epyx by this time if I remember correctly) needed to get rid of stock (to pay bills no doubt), so they sold everything (as far as I know) to A&B Sales, who got the up-til-then unreleased Swords Of Saros and Survival Island.

 The Atari Times - 2600 - Communist Mutants from Space Review
One thing I find amusing is that, in the old Starpath catalogs, they boasted about the great graphics of the Starpath games, since the Supercharger increased the 2600's RAM memory big time.
However, on the flip side, the graphics of the Starpath version of Frogger were almost arcade-perfect, and the 3-D passages of Escape From the MindMaster were damn near mind-blowing for the 2600.
You can also have up to four players on this game, so Starpath really made up for the lack of originality by giving it features to the max, plus with previews of two of their other games on the tape.

The Supercharger was made by Arcadia (who was later forced to change their name to Starpath).
This CD is primarily an audio-CD to replace original Arcadia/ Starpath audio tapes and MUST be used with a genuine Starpath Supercharger cartridge and Atari 2600-compatible console (2600, 2600 jr., most 7800s, and so on).
Ever since the Starpath Supercharger CD was released in late 1996 I had wanted to sponsor a contest to encourage programming but I had no way to provide a suitable prize.

Frogger was one of my favorite games when I was a youngster, so it's not surprising that I put a lot of time into the Parker Bros VCS version.
I was amazed when I saw the Starpath version of the game years later.
Strangely enough, I prefer the Starpath version to the arcade, as the color choices of the arcade can be rather jaring after a couple of levels.

 Why Starpath Frogger? - AtariAge Forums
I seem to remember the "many faces" reviewer saying the Parker Brothers Frogger didn't have the 'second snake' (which I assume means the snake that wanders on the big floating log), but it does.
From: Doomsville, middle of nowhere, UK I've got the Starpath version and believe me it is certainly worth the investment and trouble getting the tape and supercharger.
I love the Starpath Frogger, but it IS a good point - why not do a game that needed a facelift worse, or something not in the library already.

 Loading Atari ROM images into the Supercharger
The Starpath Supercharger is a very interesting add-on for the Atari 2600.
Starpath succeeded, and while they were at it, they gave the Supercharger more storage space for game code than most of the Atari cartridge games had.
Not only was there more room for game code, but all of the storage space could be used as RAM (Random Access Memory), unlike standard Atari cartridges which were limited to the 128 bytes of RAM.

In 1982, Arcadia Corporation created the Starpath Supercharger peripheral for the Atari 2600 Video Computer System (VCS).
