A few years later I got the Commodore - 128 and it felt like owning a supercomputer next to the Vic-20
Before i had a disk drive for the c64 it was the same thing. You had to load the game off a cassette...took ages...and it always failed...i spent hours and hours to write it all down.
I had this map where i wrote down how long every game had to load from the tape.

1-232 this game
233 - 341 that game
etc.
I had like 20 pages full
