Loading World Games from cassette and playing it on my C64
Ойындар
I was going to take a break at work and get some heavy duty lifting going on, practicing World Games, but... I sorta forgot that it takes some time loading games from cassette. :)
Nostalgia? - absolutely, Fun waiting? - not so much
Still love the old brick though...

It should reffer especially to Atari 800XL and its cassette player. ;)
"Be kind, rewind" was a great movement back in the day.
It's funny how many tactile memories were evoked during the process of setting up the thing to even begin loading. The click of the power button, the opening of the cassette deck lid, even the vibration on the desk of the tape rewinding. I can still feel those sensations, just by looking at the tasks being performed.

I upgraded to DMA load from USB by now but it's 2023. Ultimate 64. Have you tried timing skate or die load times? I'm not sure what version I have, but the loader disk has a turbo load option (only works on a real floppy drive, no go on emulators). It's hard to explain, but the floppy noise speeds up to insane speeds and the game loads in like 1 minute.
when i was a child ~40 years ago, i was cycling 11km to next town, bought a computer magazine, cycling back home 11km. typing in the game code for VC20 for many hours, searching for and correcting my typos and then played the game. i was so happy!

The C64 formed my early years too. So much fun. Typed in programs from magazines, played games and ruined joysticks playing sports games. It was a wonderful time.
And yet back then, it all seemed so magical. That said, the majority of us in Australia quickly got 1541 disk drives.
I remember even with the 1542 floppy drive sublogic flightsim 2 took ages to load.
Feel your pain, that moment when you pumped your fist at the title screen. Gold! It seemed so random to me whether it would load or not, I got superstitious about loading games via tape. I would leave the room, pretending I didn’t care whether it loaded or not. So many wasted hours doing this. Good times 😂

I remember spending some time back in 1984-1986 with the kids of my father's boss, and they had a C64. I think they had that soccer game that only C64 had, and I was amazed by how good it was. Fast-forward one year, and my mom and I traveled from Belgrade to London to get my first computer. But that year (1985), we had these awful customs restrictions in Yugoslavia, where you could only bring in the computer that cost up to 150 GBP. And the Spectrum+ was 149.99 and C64 was 179 or 199. I don't recall, but it was a bit over the limit, and I could not get that C64 I dreamed of :(. I remember being very happy with the Sinclair, and then I got a PC and started to learn programming in GW Basic and Borland Turbo Pascal. Then, I moved to U.S. when the civil war started, got a Computer Science degree and started working as a programmer etc, etc. But a part of me still feels heavily nostalgic both towards the C64 and the Amiga 500's my friends had, and maybe if I'd had those instead of the Sinclair and the PC's, I would have had a much earlier start with computer music and could have gotten further ahead with it. Never too late, of course, but it sometimes makes me wonder how differently the future would have turned out.
I still remember having a Vic20 and the Commodore datasette.
I remember that you could save some time by resetting the counter on the tape deck when it was fully re-wound and then noting the numbers when the level you wanted started to load. Then next time you could fast forward the tape to just before that point and you wouldn't have to wait so long !!
