I picked up a strange C64 cart in a lot of Atari & Coleco carts Friday and have no luck finding any info on it using Google. Any C64 gurus here know what it does? It's the blue one w. the red button on it and it says One Step Utility Cartridge from ShareData Inc on it.

I've got one of those! Actually it's one of many C64 utility cartridges. I can't remember the exact functions of this particular one, but they're often used to copy files (games), create save states, or provide othewise OS-like functions.
I think Mayhem might have a better handle on what this particular version does. Or you could just plug it in.

I'm assuming that its the blue thing in the middle, bottom row???
Label says One Stop Utility Cartridge
Maybe its some sort of system tester?

Things like this were pretty common with the C64. I've got a neat C128 utility cart that works as a fast loader, and has a few other things like patches to the built in BASIC which add some command aliases, and the ability to use the extra C128 keys in C64 mode and such.

:eek 2: Whoa, was that all part of the same find? NICE! I'm still looking for London Blitz and Tapper myself.
Spy Hunter and War Room are excellent CV games, BTW.

I picked these games all up for $3 each from someone who worked at a pawn shop. Details are in last weeks finds thread.
