Luckily, I've got my SD2IEC plugged in and FASTLOAD cartridge inserted to test this one out with. No waiting 10 minutes for a tape to load for me.😂 ... So, it looks like I'm gaming like it's 1982 tonight. I just have to ask, what games does everyone recommend I check out to play.🤔

Gateway to Telengard, Apshai, the Arizona Wasteland, Britannia, and to Skara Brae. The boarding ticket to a Starflight across the galaxy, and globe trotting to find just Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. Or perhaps to embark on piratical adventures in MicroProse oceans.

Magic, actual computer magic.
I've come to appreciate the C64 I bought last summer came with a modern Epyx Fastload cartridge; C64 floppy disk loading is sloooow! How much the cart accelerates it still feels like sorcery to me. And I'm sure it especially did back in 1984/5.
