Fully completed yet unreleased, Blaster is the supreme technical showpiece for the Atari 5200. It's pushing the hardware to the limits with 3D visuals that continue to dazzle and amaze. It's pure arcade chaos in the Eugene Jarvis tradition, all crazy explosions and seizure-inducing lights.

An obscure unreleased prototype. Looking at pictures of the arcade version, you can see nice sprites. Due to memory restraints, you get outlines of robots coming at you in 3d. Yes, it's an obscure Robotron sequel. I actually quite enjoyed this shooter with appropriate "blast" sounds. Recommended, if you find it!
