Rabbit Transit 8-29-83

    

 

Rabbit Transit by Atari?  Yes your reading things right, this version of Rabbit Transit was found in an Atari Lab Loaner case.  It appears that Atari and Starpath may have been working on some kind of deal with Starpath to put cartridge versions of Supercharger cassette games.  To date Rabbit Transit is the only title that has been found, but there may be more out there.  Although this appears to be the final version of the game, just converted to run from a cartridge, there actually are a few differences from the original tape version.  These changes are most likely due to the cartridge having less space and to make the game conform to Atari's standards.

 

Differences

On power-up, a few Mysterious Meadow screens are shown (with the title at the top), and the "Pop Goes the Weasel" tune plays
The title screen text is different
Pressing the fire button will start a game
There are only 2 platform colors on the Land of Ledges screens (green and yellow)
Starting on the 3rd level, the rock that's dropped doesn't change the original platform colors, only the platforms you've already changed
