Unfortunatly it still has one rather serious problem... if you happen to save while that cartridge is plugged into the back of the machine you run a rather great chance of munching your disk. I have a gripe with epyx, if you compare thier advertising with my advertising you would get the impression that: 1> The epyx cart is faster than Flash! 2> The epyx cart speeds up saves 5 times faster 3> The epyx cart works with lots of software. First off the epyx cart is SLOWER than Flash!. Second, the epyx cart is ABSOLUTLY NO FASTER when it saves to the disk, and in addition could corupt the BAM and DESTROY the disk. (When asked I refer the product as "The Exciting Data transfer Game, 'Disk Destroyer', from epyx") The epyx cart is far less compatible than Flash! I do not mind competition, I do mind false advertising.
