The Multiface was a hardware peripheral released by Romantic Robot UK Ltd. for several 1980s home computers. The primary function of the device was to dump the computer's memory to external storage, and featured an iconic 'red button' that could be pressed at any time in order to activate it. As most games of the era did not have a save game feature, the Multiface allowed players to save their position. However, this feature also allowed users to create backups or pirate copies of software.

- The Multiface was a hardware peripheral released by Romantic Robot UK Ltd. for several 1980s home computers. The primary function of the device was to dump the computer's memory to external storage, and featured an iconic 'red button' that could be pressed at any time in order to activate it. As most games of the era did not have a save game feature, the Multiface allowed players to save their position. However, this feature also allowed users to create backups or pirate copies of software. Copyright infringement was discouraged, yet possible in earlier models, but was made more difficult in later models by requiring the Multiface to be present when re-loading the dumps into memory.
- Multiface var en maskinvareenhet produsert av Romantic Robot UK Ltd. for flere hjemmedatamaskiner på 1980-tallet. Hovedfunksjonen til enheten var å dumpe datamaskinens minne til ekstern lagrning. Siden de fleste spill fra denne tiden ikke hadde mulighet til å lagre, gjorde Multiface det mulig for spillerene å lagre deres fremgang eller posisjon i spillet. Dette gjorde det imidlertid også mulig for brukere å lage sikkerhetskopier eller piratkopier av programvare. Brudd på opphavsretten ble forhindret ved at det var påkrevd at en Multiface var tilstede når man lastet kopiene tilbake inn i minnet. Enheten hadde en ikonisk rød knapp som kunne brukes når som helst for å aktivere den.
