Snapshot V5
from Doug Hess reprinted from MOVCC Messenger, January 1990

Imagine you own a regular C64.  You place a disk in the drive, and turn on the
system.  You go to the refrigerator to get a cold glass of water.  When you
return, a program from the disk has automatically been loaded, running and is
waiting for you.  Or, you turn on the system, press 3 keys and a terminal
program, file copier, or disk copier is at your disposal.  Maybe you need to
read a sequential file.  Just turn on the computer, hit 3 keys and read a
sequential file, scratch a file, rename a file or load and print a Doddle! or
Koala picture.  Sound too good to be true?  There's more...

You're in the middle of a game and you like the opening screen's picture, the
music (a digitally sampled sound or voice) and the character set they are
using for typing on the screen.  With the touch of a few keys you can save or
print IN COLOR (if you desire) the picture including any sprites, and save the
sound, music, voice and character set and the sprites for use in your own
programs.

If that isn't enough, with some games you can have infinite life, turn off the
sprite detection so you never die and don't need infinite lives, switch
joystick ports, or make the joystick automatically start auto-firing.  PLUS,
if you have an REU and an expansion slot extender, you can have 2289 blocks
worth of space to copy files from your 1581, dual sided 1571 and 1541 disks. 
And if the program is all memory resident, you can back it up onto a disk and
load it in really fast.  Icon factory used to take 90 seconds to load, not it
takes 7 seconds!!

How is all of this possible?  The SUPER SNAPSHOT V5 cartridge makes it
possible.  It comes with 8K RAM and 32K ROM to perform all of the above
mentioned things and includes a drive monitor, computer monitor and adds about
14 different commands to BASIC.  All this for $64.95 or you can upgrade your
earlier version Super Snapshot cartridge for $30.  They even send a SYSTEM
DISK that contains parameters for programs you can't back up with the
cartridge as well as the SHOTGUN II nibbler with Rapidlok breakers.

I highly recommend this cartridge for anyone who isn't ready to scrap the
hundreds of dollars of C64 stuff they own for an IBM.  This is a great $64.99
recharge.
