Communist Mutants From Space


Communist Mutants From Space, originally uploaded by willceau.

This was a game for use with a short-lived but interesting gaming system that worked in conjunction with the Atari 2600. It was a cartridge that had a port that patched to an ordinary cassette tape player. The games were on the tape cassette. Push play, and it would take a while to load into the cartridge. When it was finally done, you could play games that were more complex than what was offered on ordinary Atari cartridges. Communist Mutants was a Space Invaders/Phoenix type of game.

I saved the cover of the box, but the game is long gone.

This guy has an excellent video covering it:
