I recently got a game I ordered on tape because it was cheaper than disk and they didn't have a digital download. Holy molasses I forgot how slow tape drives are. Haven't used any of my Commodore c2n drives in at least 8 years and am used to fast loaders on disk drives, SDcard interfaces, or best of all Easyflash3 flash cart. 36k game took 18 minutes to load. It did have a sweet asteroids mini game that loaded so you could play that while you wait for the real game though.
