Usually data load errors from tape do not give Out of Memory errors. I wouldn't go adjusting the heads yet. Cleaning them with a head cleaning solution...
Hi Jeff, Thanks for the reply - ok, I load via LOAD (return) - I bought a brand new game on tape from ebay - it was still in the original package so it was...
OK. The easy stuff has now been taken care of. Now the adjustments can be done. First, since it's basically a standard tape player, you can clean the heads as...
My first suggestion is one that might sound stupid for those of us that have used tapes for many years but for newbies can be an issue. Please make sure your...
... Even though it's "new in box" it could have had some degradation over the decades. One problem I have noticed is that the "fuzzy thing" within the...

I wrote another small adventure game for the C64 tonight. The title is called 'Castle Belmar', and it occupies around 13 blocks on disk. The game has around 20...
Hi All, ... I just downloaded the program and ran it in Vice's C64 emu program. It seems to be just plain BASIC and not very long too. Note that the download...

... I remember in early '87 I had bought a brand new C128 and 1571 from an Army PX. It was competitively priced at $780 for the set. That was a little over a...
