My first pc had a tape drive.

I had a friend with one of those while I had an Atari. The Atari game would come up within a minute, but the tape took like 15 min to start.

Using a tape drive is crazy when you think about it. It was slow…. This wasn’t the big tape cartridges. It was a standard Audio tape. Not sure why they could store but it was all sequential

Meant that as what about they could store.

Why I know. Go play it and you’ll see how they did it.

I am curious who said. You know am audio take will create a great experience.
