Blaster for the Atari 5200
Posted on March 26th, 2004 by Frank Cifaldi 
The “mystery prototype” at AtariAge has been revealed as Blaster.
Blaster was a relatively obscure 1983 arcade game by Eugene Jarvis designed as a direct descendent to another of Jarvis’ efforts, Robotron: 2084. Relatively unknown, however, is that Blaster was originally designed for both the Atari 5200 and its 8-bit computer bretheren.
Thanks to Jarvis and Matt Reichert, the game is now freely downloadable on the internet, albeit with the specific demand that no one profit from homemade cartridges of this game.
Download the game from its official page at AtariAge.com, and read Reichert’s full report here.
