You also had the honour of hearing the data transfer for that length of time (weeee buzzzzzzz weeeee buzzzzzzzzzzz) :lol:

Then you had games like gauntlet where they couldn't fit all 100 levels on the audio tape, when a me and a mate tried to play the game through it got to level 64 and the tape just stopped :cry:

Think about that next time you think it's taking a long time to load a game from the UMD!
Ah memories. I remember having arguments with my mate about which was better - my C64 or his Atari 400. Naturally, I won :wink:

I remember playing Miner 2049'er cartridge on his 400 on Christmas morning - must have been about 1982 :lol:
