Company Information

Arcadia Corporation was founded in June 1981 as a computer company by Robert Brown, a former senior engineer at Atari, among others. There the Supercharger, the first peripheral cartridge for the VCS console, which made it possible to load games via a cassette recorder, was developed. The Supercharger, an idea of Robert Brown, expanded the RAM of the Atari VCS by almost 50 times, from 128 to 6,272 bytes. The increased memory enabled more high-resolution graphics capabilities not seen before (1982) on the Atari console. After the release of four games, the company had to rename itself to avoid a legal dispute with Emerson Radio Corporation (ERC), the manufacturer of the Emerson Arcadia 2001. In the same year (October 1982), the Arcadia Corporation changed its name to Starpath Corporation and released past and future releases under that name.
