Lately it seems to be "the law", that all C264 series must come with a free black Datasette. 😅 This one is no exception. But it also came with three original games on cassette tapes! I don't know when I last loaded software from a tape, but it wasn't in this decade. Or the previous. And likely wasn't in this century.
It needed a bit of "encouragement" and a few tries, but it worked in the end. It's the worst crackout game I've seen - a reminder why these were a flop.

@chainq@mastodon.social Datasettes were the standard in the UK. I didn't know anyone back in the day with a floppy drive until the early 90s when some friends started getting Amigas, and they were considered rich and lucky! I must say, my original C16 back in the 80's and my current expanded C16 rarely let me down loading from Datasette. But I do use a Tapuino these days to load/save .tap files.
