Game Killer article is far from complete and a real stub!
The adverts we found for this rare and likely only available in the UK C64 cartridge contain the words:
WARNING: It is possible that some of the games you own will not have all the levels and screens promised by the software houses. This could mean that you could send them back due to false information under the Trade Description Act.
and is somehow funny wording since the rest of the advert just mentions that the cartridge is a revolutionary survival kit, disables sprite collision and for the interesting part start your game where you want!.
The company behind this advert just renamed from Robcom to ROBTEK as the advert states. Robcom was previously selling modems mainly it appears and the change on the company name came with the introduction of the Game Killer cartridges if we can trust the adverts. Publisher Information at Amiga Hall of Light also notes ROBTEK as the company behind a few games and loosely collaborating with Mastertronic.
