The tape/cassette reader/writer.
Spanish Scene still produce games on this media...maybe the Nostalgia or pure masochism.
==Why so lame ?==
Tapes are known for wasting 20 minutes only to find out that the load screwed up because the magnetic tape is not that reliable due to parasistic noises.
As no CD reader nor MP3 reader were designed on this purpose, you have to do it manually.
This problem is prooves critical when a software needs frequent Data Reading/Writing. ==Yet a few advantages== It was cheap and easy. Any AudioTape was far cheaper than a 3" disk, and easier to find. You could get 90 minutes of Datas, compilations were fun to make. Also you could copy any games with any audio double tape system. Yet some games still include Copy protections...
