Blargh. I still have my VIC-20 and the tape drive for it, and I don't miss dealing with the tapes at all. They were a huge pain in the ass. There were some decent games back then, but what I mostly miss is that it booted nearly instantly into the BASIC interpreter, and you basically had access to everything the computer could do (which wasn't much, but imagine being able to do that as easily with a modern computer...).
