It's impressive that it still worked. I've not loaded anything off cassette in many years. I did get to play with some old consoles a while back. Things have really developed over 40 years, but then you would hope so. I think there was a racing game on the BBC Micro that just used black and white line graphics, but I don't think I had that one. Developers were pushing what the hardware could do. Elite was the ultimate on the Beeb.

Did your kids take a look? I guess they wouldn't be impressed. I think there's a C64 hardware emulator that comes with games on ROM. I have seen a BBC Micro emulator that runs in a browser and I think it can run the games.
