I'm not very positive about the possibility of expanding Adventure starting
from the existing source and adding Supercharger support.
It's sure that a new, huge, ultra-cool version of Adventure would be
possible keeping the old program as a reference, using Bob's
intelligent-flicker routines in the kernel, and adding SC support.
But this would be another large and ambitious project for people with a lot
of free time... :-(
