Cor i had one.

Most frustrating thing ever was when you were delivering newspapers with slick efficiency then the cassette would get to the end and would inevitably crash and loose all progress.

An autofire button! :D Daily Thompson's Decathlon on there, see how long the joystick lasts (some may have called that muscle training for later years! :p )? And what was the one where you had to run round the woods with a bow and arrow shooting massive spiders that ate you when you got caught?

Those were the days, eh?

Just think about how lo-fi that storage method was- how open (and prone) to errors cassette tapes were for data! Dropouts! Stretching tape! All par for the course....

Don't need the CD & Stick, still got a C64 (boxed) in the corner and I know it still works ;)
