I miss those days. They had awesome games, but tapes sucked so badly. I remember waiting a minute or two in some games cause they had to go back and forward at times to search data. Upgrading to the floppy drive made life SOOOO much eaiser.
PS.
if your still wondering how games were played
Most games back on cassete did not load continuous data. They were more arcade like in that they laoded everything in to a tiny amount of ram. This is where high effecincy programming was a must, not like some of sloppy guys today that just let brute force of a system to all the work. You won't end up with any great stories or epic games on a cassete though. If you wanted bigger games you either had a cartridge game or used a floppy drice. Either way this was a cheap writeable media. Also for those wondering yes you could buy commercial games released on cassaette. There were a few rare games that did proceduarly load areas bot just results, but those were far and few between.

I don't know if I am being overly nostalgic, but those were some good times on the Commodore 64.
