I’m not remotely an authority on sound design or programming, but Caffeine Withdrawal Games has done a decent job within the context of tape recovery. Reliving tape loading screens again and learning about terms like the Kansas format and loaders was interesting, as all I cared about in the olden days was when Jet Set Willy would load. I don’t see it winning over newcomers instead, the technically adept and who already have an interest. Tape Recovery Simulator 96K Early Access is an enthusiast’s piece, in my opinion. But, as stated, in those days, the loading screens were the annoying bits of waiting around, polishing off another bag of Wotsits or Quavers while in limbo.Īs I update this Tape Recovery Simulator 96K Early Access preview, my email is still ringing, emulating the real-life emails I get. I liked it, as I did with the loading screens, making it all feel somewhat real. A note on that, if you don’t like the sound of dial-up, you’ll hate this. You could mute it, but that defeats the object of the game. The resulting emails and initiation into the big leagues with Expert-Expert Systems were not as uplifting.Įmails are frequent, and the ding sound of another deluge of insults and complaints from your boss became stressful. I can honestly say that this was one of the most arduous tutorials I’ve completed, but as a result, upon completion, it was a satisfying experience and necessary to continue playing. Completing the tutorial became counter-productive when using the wrong command recommended in the tutorial. While nothing is daunting about commands, it’s not intuitive for non-techy types like me. Typing Load “” (you only have to type ‘L’ here) is as natural to me as those days of ICQ and a/s/l? BASIC was something I skipped, and that becomes prevalent here and when my kids ask me questions about Scratch. Unfortunately, you can’t resize the email window panes, just the overall size, meaning you can only see three emails at once – and you’ll get bombarded with them constantly. There’s a lot of banter and usually amusing, but once employed, the tone changes, which feels like unpaid work rather than entertainment. Your email client is the source for jobs and communicating with the other two employees. Typing Load “” is as natural to me as those days of ICQ and a/s/l?
