I became late to the C64 party only in recent years, but I busted some tape images to actual tape and loaded them up (after spending about 30 minutes tweaking the alignment on the C64 deck which is a hit and miss exercise at best!). I always though people hyping their C64 loaders was always over rated as I'd roll my eyes bragging about the fact that my games loaded without fail!

But to be fair, there are some nice loaders, especially Martin Galway's music. It's almost like you got a demo and a game in one sometimes.
Currently playing on: 2xCPC464, 1xCPC6128, 1x464Plus, 1x6128Plus, 2xGX4000. M4 board, ZMem 1MB and still forever playing Bruce Lee.
No cheats, snapshots or emulation. I play my games as they're intended to be played. What about you?

Paulie is a legend. He has joked a few times on Twitter that, despite his long career, people seem to remember him for his "Ocean loader".

Freeload is the loader I used on the cassette version of Rescuing Orc.
Released The Return of Traxtor, Golden Tail, Magica, The Dawn of Kernel, Kitsune`s Curse, Brick Rick and Hyperdrive for the CPC.

If you like my games and want to show some appreciation, you can always buy me a coffee.

Thanks! Funny to see a real picture of Jonathan Dunn himself, a legend!
