Not here in blighty, me and my mates all had cassette drives. Disk drive was an expensive luxury.

There must have been a significantly higher proportion of games released on tape than disk?


Same here.  I reused the tape drive off my old VIC-20 as a cassette drive (Commodore branded) was 50 quid back then.  I eventually got a floppy drive many years later when Toys-R-Us in Cardiff had a sale and combined the 1541 with an MPS801 printer for 200 quid.  Bargain!

Also, the tape drive wasn't that much slower than the disk drive ;-)


LOL.  Oh the fun of waiting 20 minutes for "Arcadia" to load off tape...  :D
