This ad is from a 1985 UK Commodore magazine.
It’s for DISKOPY by Arrow Micro Service.
I do not have a copy of the program, but will start looking for it now that I found an ad for it!

The release order of Commodore snap shot cartridges
1. Isepic was the first
2. Codebuster (This is the same cartridge as SnapShot 64 and Clonebusters)
3. Final Cartridge
4. Super Snapshot
5. Freeze Cart (Europe)
6. Action Replay
Codebusters was renamed for a very short time to Clonebusters for Micro W.
Then for marketing reasons then name was changed to SnapShot 64.
List help from Craig Ernster
Iceclone was a clone of Isepic by Starpoint.
It also uses the exact same software as Isepic.
I have never seen this clone before but Craig Ernster sent me these photos.

Pirate Challenge
This add appeared in a C64 magazine. It’s a hacker’s challenge. For $5.99 you would be sent “The Pirate Disk” that has five questions hidden deep within layers of copy protection. If you can crack your way through them all, you would get a free program.
Does anyone have more info about this? Anyone have this disk or image of it? Also do you know more about the challenge? The protection schemes? What was your reward program? Was this this program also hidden on the disk?
Here is KEYMASTER created by Jim Drew. I finally got three disk in my collection now that includes the KeyMaster v1.1 and then two update disk. One update disk is labeled BLUE dot and the other is GREEN Dot. Here are some screen shots.
