The C64's datasette helped prevent load errors as they were usually caused by incorrect volume settings.There was just as many disc read errors from dodgy disks or drives.Load-It was insanely expensive. I recall it was about twice as much compared to standard version.QuoteLoading times were also not as long as people think.They were long. I have got real C64 here and loading time from the original is 15 minutes.Heck, sometimes games even load faster from tape deck than from a disk.QuoteTrue there were some games that had stupid load times but then developers started to add turbo load features and multiload features.Usually you could load games faster if it is pirated copy. I got an original Operation Wolf when it was released... loading time is about 15 minutes. Day after I got a pirated copy you could load in 5 minutes. But admittely I preferred loading from the original because of Ocean loader tune. They were always great.

Name me 3 games that take 15 minutes to load.Ocean games took about 4 - 5 mins30 seconds to start the intro music 3 - 4 min tune 30 seconds to load the final bits
