I remember my Sinclair Spectrum taking 5+ minutes to load some games, off tape cassettes, and then sometimes it would crash immediately and you would have to start over! I bet half the members here don't even know what a tape cassette is.
Considering I was loading Romancing the 3 Kingdoms off of tape onto some esoteric Japanese NEC hardware I feel your pain. Though I don't think it really got much better in the Tandy/Vic20/Com64 days with floppies.
Least you weren't loading 25 floppies to install Crusader:No Remorse only to have disc 23 crap out on the zip extraction.
Fun times!
I was glad to have the CDs for Crusader No Remorse and then the follow up Crusader No Regret. Those were some great games. I so miss Origins.
