Afterburner (EU) for C64 by activision and daliai software, loaded from tape.
This one is a cyberload, which is usually a very reliable loader, but it turns out the first tape of this I tried was missing the levels on the second side - I actually had to load and play this four times before I finally got good footage of this one.
I actually remembered this game really fondly, and always wondered why it was reviewed so badly. Playing it again now though... I do understand - the music is great, but the gameplay is mostly on rails, and any control I actually exert on it seems mostly coincidental (obviously not 100%, but... well, I don't really understand how it all happened ;)).
(Yes, I know I didn't upload for over seven months - I'm hoping to keep a more regular schedule again no!)
