Aww you are too young to know the special relationship between a cassette tape and a pencil :laughing:

What about sellotape and a vhs tape? (Omg my phone doesn’t recognise vhs as a word)

Few years ago my friend bought a used car that actually for some strange reason only had a cassette player installed. We dug out our old collections, dusted them up and it was all Iron Maiden and Duran Duran for happy years driving around till she recently sold the car and bought a new one. Oh happy days!

precisely…an ‘old’ person…:stuck_out_tongue:
it’s always funny that younglings today think it’s strange that ‘old’ people play games, you weren’t even a tadpole when kids were writing basic in their bedrooms…in fact all the things that you still think are cool today were gifted to you by us oldies…:slight_smile:

His mom of course.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Did you know that computer games also used to come on audio cassett? You plugged a cassette player into your Commodore 64 or whatever, then play the tape for ten minutes to load the data into the massive 64k of RAM.
