Were there any games on Tape?

Sorry for my limited knowledge, but I wondered if there were any games made on tape and were they better than cartridge games?

Hi,

for the creativision, there are only games written in BASIC possible to load from Tape (they are NOT better than cartridge games :0))

the Laser2001 / Salora Manager can load games from tape (The same cartridgegames like on the CV where published also on tape...) and a few games in Laser2001 Basic where also published (Laser2001 Basic is faster and more capable than the CV Basic, but they are also NOT better then cartridge games)

Cheers, TOM:0)

Thanks Tom, was hoping it may be similar to Commodore 64. Oh well nice to have the Data set anyhow.

That reminds me. I should write out a copy of the Wizzard Demo tape to actual tape and give it a try on real hardware

That would be cool. Give me something to run on the data set

Yes, the demotape is the coolest thing - as it uses 2 tracks on the tape - one for the Basic Programs and one as Audiotrack explaining and playing while loading... Cheers, TOM:0)
