Stunt car racer was an amazing racing game for 1989 on a machine like that.

They usually run from DOS. I used to play C64 games on the PC. I used a program called DOS box. Can't remember the exact command to start the games - believe it was Run"" or something like that. Look it up on the Internet.

Some of the games just run but I'm on a laptop so Im not sure whether its the same on a tablet. But yeah, some games run and others don't but I think from the sound of things they only work on a laptop or PC.

That is because the tape you are loading it from has a drop-out. Rewind the tape for 3 seconds, and press 'play'. In anther 5 minutes or so, you'll be ready to go. Else you haven't got enough memory to run the game, so perhaps you should consider purchasing a RAMPAK ?

I do believe though, that the RAM pack was a ZX Spectrum only accessory. Can't recall the C64 equivalent. Edit: Georam is what you need for C64. 512k more ram I believe.

I used to think Red Storm Rising and F15 Strike Eagle were so realistic.
