@ausretrogamer Damn, I played Rygar on the Amstrad to death. Tapes, where getting the game to load was a trial in itself.
@Captain_Pixel I used to rage at the C64 datasette when I had to reload a game and wait another 25 minutes.
@ausretrogamer @Captain_Pixel My cousin had a datasette that would only load certain tapes if you performed a weird ritual.
@AntStiller haha. I used to use my mum's sewing machine screwdriver to mess with the tape heads ;-) @Captain_Pixel
@ausretrogamer @AntStiller adjusting the header! Between that and finding the right volume you could easily waste an hour :)
@Captain_Pixel @ausretrogamer I remember one game that only worked if we yelled at the datasette.
@ausretrogamer @AntStiller http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU0CMWCFg-s … Here's the culprit. No vid of CPC ver (for the best). Game crashed if you shot a civilian!
