You literally could start the tape playing, and then go eat dinner, then come back when it was loaded. What a pain in the ass it was loading those games for the Commodore 64. The thing is, you had cartidges too, which loaded immediately. |
Please don't bring back memories of that. Oh my. And try the cassette going bad also, and it wouldn't load. Or, I remember doing data entry for stuff out of Analog magazine in BASIC, using an Atari 400 membrane keyboard, to be able to play one of their games and hoping it worked. Disk drives felt like miracles back then. We have come a LONG way since then.
