The ''Freeze Frame'' (''FF'')was written by Angus Ager and the hardware produced and distributed by ''Evesham Micros'' (fomerly known as ''Micro Centre''). There were several versions of the ''Freeze Frame'' from '''MK.I''' to '''MK.IV''' (which for better readability will go by '''MK1''' to '''MK4''' here to avoid roman numbers). The ''Frame'' series was later joined with the ''Lazer'' utility cartridge (released as ''MK.IV'' and ''Freeze Frame Lazer'') but quickly went to become ''Freeze Machine'' practically being ''MK.V and Lazer II'' as the menu and packaging also subtitles. | [[File:Freeze_Frame_2_closed.jpg|180px|left|border|Freeze Frame MK2]]The ''Freeze Frame'' (''FF'') was written by Angus Ager and the hardware produced and distributed by ''Evesham Micros'' (fomerly known as ''Micro Centre'').

The Freeze Frame (FF) was written by Angus Ager and the hardware produced and distributed by Evesham Micros (fomerly known as Micro Centre). There were several versions of the Freeze Frame from MK.I to MK.IV (which for better readability will go by MK1 to MK4 here to avoid roman numbers). The Frame series was later joined with the Lazer utility cartridge (released as MK.IV and Freeze Frame Lazer) but quickly went to become Freeze Machine practically being MK.V and Lazer II as the menu and packaging also subtitles.
A different Freeze Frame cartridge is described and pictured on a lemon64 forum thread. The cartridge shown there is a hardcopy cartridge to dump the screen to an attached printer. From the same thread it reads that until Freeze Frame MK3B the cartridge came without reset button and only the Freeze button was present.
