For more on Stargate, see GTW64's write up: gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/stargate

We've seen many examples of games which were though lost found and recovered thanks to the tireless work of archivists and preservationists. Sometimes, we get a surprise in the form of something which was only teased - like Atarisoft's C64 conversion of Stargate, which was teased at shows, but unreleased until now thanks to Ken Van Mersbergen & GTW64, we now have the chance to enjoy this take on the follow-up to arcade smash Defender!

Chapters:
00:00 Content Warning & Intro

02:46 Stargate on C64
05:42 A Better Stargate?
09:02 Final Thoughts & Outro
