Oh man the tape loading time. I dreamed about being able to afford a disk drive.

The loading music is exceptional and I enjoyed listening to it while waiting.

I still occasionally listen to it.

Well I got to listen to it a lot lol.

Since you enjoy SID music checkout this crazy hack someone did with 8 SID chips.

Last Ninja has my favorite music from the C64 era.

Have you listened to the live versions by the Fastloaders? They had Ben Daglish before he passed away.
