|  Re: Were tape loaders with loading image and music common on C16/Plus4 games?
Hey, thank you so much guys for the info and examples! I will check these out.
From a development standpoint it's a bit freeing in a way, that you don't absolutely HAVE to have a tape loader (like probably expected on the c64) if you'd sometimes would want to do a physical cassette release.
I've seen these fantastic intro images on c16/plus4 floppy games, but obviously that's another thing since you can load in new stuff into memory more easily and faster than from tape. Or did tape games also use to load some fancy introscreens separately before a game? I seem to remember quite a few c64 games did load in fancy intros that took as long to load as the games themselves.
