Sweat! The Decathlon Game, planned by Starpath for 1983 as its answer to Activision's Decathlon, would have gathered track-and-field events —the hundred meters, four hundred meters, hundred-ten-meter hurdles, shot put, and other Olympic disciplines— taking advantage of the extra capacity of the Supercharger accessory for the Atari 2600. The project never got past the prototype stage, so only incomplete test versions circulate among collectors and preservationists. It's one more case in the graveyard of canceled games left behind by the 1983 video game market crash, when entire companies like Starpath disappeared with projects left halfway done.
