Features include...

The most effective backup cartridge on the

market? We feel no other "device" can

remotely match the speed, power and ease

of use of the FREEZE MACHINE. It's speed

of operation is the most amazing feature -

imagine being able to SAVE & reLOAD

your favourite games in as little as 10

seconds and no more than 18. Buy one

and see it perform, if you don't agree that

it is the most formidable cartridge

available, return it within your statutory 28

days for full refund we are that conﬁdent!

Freeze Machine Utility Disc V3.0

Including over 30 routines, this is the latest version of the disk that

complements use of the Freeze Machine. Used in COnjUnelki n with

the calridge, ii allows the complete trenster to disk or many

programs that load extra parts, eg. Gunship, Last Ninja, World

Games & Super cycle. A very useful aod-on to Freeze Machine.
