> That's great!! Anyone remember a game called Temple of Apshai? It came out in '80 or '81. I played it on an Apple (I think) and a TRS-80. It was basically a D&D-type game. I remember having to load it off of a cassette. It took long enough that I could begin loading the game, go make lunch, eat lunch, and clean up the dishes before it was ready to play.

Ahhh those were the days. I had a Commodore Vic-20 with a cassette drive when I was a little kid. I used to take the computer's tapes and stick 'em in my parents' 200 watt stereo and blast 'em. Used to make them so MAD!
