Hehe, yeah tapes had their up 'n downs. But for an impatient dude like me, they were infuriating…
Still lightyears ahead of typing in hex-data from hundreds of pages in magazines for weeks, just to end up with a mildly working version of snake.
And nowadays a cheap phone is a gazillion times more powerful in every possible aspect. Never even dreamed that big and here we are.
These youngsters and their modern floppy witchwork. We real cavemen used tapes. And they were so much cooler than punchcards 😁
Nothing beats "insert disk 3592"after a day of loading only to see disk #3592 sadly had an error. Maybe a slight exaggeration, but…
A tape loading error after like 10 minutes always felt bad. I had a handful of games that I could never play.
Being able to fit like 5 games on a single tape was pretty cool though. Better than these mountains of floppies.
