Game description:

Escape from the MindMaster is a 1982 action-puzzle game published by Starpath Corporation for the Atari 2600. Starpath distributed their titles on audio cassette for use with the Supercharger — an add-on peripheral that streamed extra RAM into the console and made possible games far more complex than a standard 2600 cartridge could hold. The game is single-player, and the goal is to puzzle your way free of the MindMaster.
