There are some good things about loading C64 games from tape:
  • Making a cup of tea
  • Listening to the loading music
  • Making music (Thalamus' Mix-E-Loads)
  • Some tape loaders let you play space invaders
  • Having time to daydream


On the other hand, I've got Pirates! on tape. My god, you could prepare and eat a three-course meal waiting for that to load. Excruciating.
