Telepathy

Telepathy
Developer: Atari, Inc. Platform: Atari 2600 This game has unused graphics.

This game was never completed and/or given a public release. As a result of this, keep in mind that the developers might have used or deleted some of the content featured here, had the game actually been released.

Telepathy is one of three known games (the others being Mind Maze and Bionic Breakthrough) developed in 1983-84 for the Atari 2600 Mindlink controller, which would have allowed players to play certain games with their mind! (Well, actually, their facial movements/twitches.) However, the controller and games were scrapped due to the former not working well and causing headaches and dizziness in playtesters.

Fortunately, Telepathy can still be played with a regular controller by pressing Fire, and it's fun and polished for an unreleased demo.

Unused Graphics

A large Atari logo is present throughout the ROM in chunks at 0x0BA5, 0x0D9E, and 0x0F88. It was likely intended for a title screen or Mindlink calibration screen (both are present in Bionic Breakthrough). The palette has been taken from elsewhere in the ROM.
