Rumor has it that the photos are stored on an array of Commodore 1541 floppy drives swapped by a team of trained ferrets.

The sad thing is I used to have a Commodore 1541 floppy drive...

Oh, I had the cassette drive first. Then I upgraded! :-)

Patience - waiting for the big games to finish loading on the cassette driver.

I had it too ;)

I had the tape player too. It was attached to my VIC-20 with its 5K of memory. Used to play the Scott Adams adventure games. There were five of them: Adventureland, Pirates' Cove, Mission Impossible, Voodoo Castle and (my favorite) The Count.

On weekends I'd invite myself over to my friend James' house. He had the C-64. Telengard all night!

I liked the noises when the games loaded, it sounded really new and computerish. A novelty at the time:)
