Game consoles didn't come with a storage card, so you had to keep the game running or restart every time.
Said games were also finished upon release.
Or they weren't. And that's just how they stayed.
OMG that reminded me of my best friend's Commodore 20 - which had no disk drive, so to play a game you had to manually type in the BASIC code for it each time before playing.
I remember having a text to speech program on my windows 98(?) PC that required me to type a long string of stuff into the command prompt. We had it written on an index card and I remember it taking forever to type in. Between starting up the computer, typing in the code, and having it actually load if typed correctly the first time, it was nearly a 30 minute endeavor just to laugh at a computer voice say "poopy butthole herpes".
Vic20. It was a big deal if you had a cassette player to record your programs on
That was my first computer. I see no point in buying one if you can't even have a tape deck.
Thata kind of awesome
Or you had to write down a long ass code and re-eneter it when you were ready to continue!
