@KitsuneAlicia@octodon.social @mawr @drwho if I recall, that's a command for a c64? It tells the interpreter to load whatever program comes up first while looking at a specific part of the tape (that's the 8,1 part I think)

@drwho @KitsuneAlicia@octodon.social @mawr \o/ I got it right! Even though I never ever used a c64 and instead had a spectrum!

@drwho @KitsuneAlicia@octodon.social @mawr less colours then the c64, allegedly they had better games but I dunno. Tbh none of the games back then were nearly as good as everyone likes to think, but there were some serious gems. The C64 is basically superior in pretty much every way, from what I've seen, but I still have a soft spot for the speccy, its AY chip in the 128k models, and some of the design tricks both hardware and software.

@Nine @KitsuneAlicia @mawr I recall a couple of games for the C64 (Jet Set Willy II, Saboteur) were ported from the Spectrum. Did they play largely the same as they did there?
