@@vintageconsole It was certainly a different time. The disappointment of a really rubbish game after sitting through what seemed like an eternity of the cassette loading screen stays with me too. Betrayed by fancy cassette box art and a single screen shot. Loved the Mastertronix games though :)
@@JohnLloydDavis It's getting a really rubbish game after spending a week typing it in that really hacked me off, especially if you made a typo or a mistake somewhere and had to go over it all again line by line to find it.
@@rodpanhard Yes, I had those magazines that gave pages of code to type in and then spend just as long looking for the mistakes. We had a ZX81 first and that keyboard was awful to use. Don't touch the 16k RAM pack or it's all over! Them were the days, they don't know how easy they have it now :D

Awwww.... so cute! 😊 I love the video. 👍
That whole berrrrrrr eck berrrrrrrt creeeeer. That takes me back
Back in the early 80s when i dreamed of the virtual worlds we have today in games.
That’s how we rolled 👍🏻
I always thought the "splat" effect was hilarious.
I have no nostalgia for the whole loading from cassette and trying to configure a joystick to work but the games could be brilliant.
It was an interesting procedure. We were happy about it at the time.
It taught us patience 😃
