LOS ANGELES, CA -- Long-time Atari 2600 supporter Cyberpunks
Entertainment recently announced their donation of 100 "Stella Gets a
New Brain" CDs to accompany the pending release of Schell's
Electronics' Cuttle Cart for the Atari 2600.

"It makes sense that a next-generation Supercharger-like device for
the 2600 be released with the Supercharger games," commented Glenn
Saunders, owner of Cyberpunks Entertainment. "Because of the Cuttle
Cart's high manufacturing costs and corresponding high price,
donating the Stella CDs gives consumers more value at the same price."

"It's very generous of Cyberpunks Entertainment to donate these CDs
for distribution with the Cuttle Cart. Their inclusion really
completes the Cuttle Cart package by providing a wealth of high
quality games ready for immediate play," commented Chad Schell, owner
of Schell's Electronics and designer of the Cuttle Cart. "Making the
Cuttle Cart more attractive to consumers is very important in making
the Cuttle Cart an effective means of distributing new games by
increasing the number of units sold, and thus increasing the
distribution base for new games. This donation is just another
example of the Cyberpunk's continuing efforts to support and preserve
the Atari 2600."

The Cuttle Cart is a device that allows one to load games into an
Atari 2600 using an audio interface such as a CD player, similar to
(and compatible with) the Starpath Supercharger, but also expanded to
support all known cartridge sizes and formats. It makes a great
development tool and distribution medium for new games, which can be
created using freely available development tools. Finally you can
play all those prototypes, homebrew games, and extremely rare titles
on the real 2600 just like they're intended to be played.

"Stella Gets a New Brain" is a multi-session audio CD/CD-ROM
containing all the released (and unreleased) Starpath Supercharger
titles such as "Communist Mutants from Space" and "Escape From the
Mindmaster", as well as the best of recent homebrew titles
like "Oystron". Other features include the song "Atari 2600" by the
band Splitsville, a data portion containing a wealth of technical
material on the 2600 and the Supercharger, with a large number of
images of scanned materials, and a deluxe full-size booklet compiling
the Starpath manuals. The CD has a retail value of $20 and is sold
mail-order at the company website (see below).
