SiO4 10/15/23 12:28:03 AM #19:	Damn_Underscore posted... How do games on cassette work? I never understood that The Datasette. You had to type a command hit run, and then hit play on the Datasette. It would then turn at the rate of a normal cassette player, looking for the particular program you wanted, and when it found it, it would begin to load. But also, if this is your other question. Cassettes are just magnetic ribbons, so they work on the same principle as a floppy disc. The one I had was for The Commodore 64. https://imgur.com/DCIt6ex https://imgur.com/bzWopg9 --- "Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you." ~Carl Sagan.
