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?


I too did not realize that.  When first received my C64 in 1983 (xmas) it came with a tape drive.  However, the following Christmas a 1541 Disk Drive was under the tree because everything I wanted was on disk.

I do not recall many people having a tape drive or if they did I think they switched to the 1541 pretty quickly.

Interesting to see the difference across the pond.

The C64 will always have a special place in my heart.  :-)
