Loading games from audio cassette.

some people wouldn't even know what an audio cassette is.

I think even more bizarre is rewinding games when you'd finished, or fast forwarding to a particular point on the tape (with the tape counter) to find the game you wanted if there were several on it.

I remember having to write those down on the cassette inlays because they couldn't actually tell you where they were. It was different depending on your tape player.
