Power Off!

The game was originally called Escape from Supercade and was to be released in conjunction with a video game book called Supercade. The game was shown at CGE2K, and copies were promised by the book’s editor Van Burnham to both the winner of a high score contest, as well as 25 raffle ticket winners. Soon after the book’s release, the author refused to reply to emails or fulfill prior promises. According to Van Burnham: 'The project went completely off the rails when the person who was building the cartridges for me disappeared, the publisher axed my promo budget, and I subsequently lost the winners list!' Nineteen years later the list was found in a bag and the winners got their cartridge after all. Ebivision eventually decided to release their game under a different name: Power Off!

Hozer Video Games held a contest for this game for the first person to find the secret message that appears when you finish the game. The winner received $50 and a game of his/her choice.
