Chinese Juggler for C64 by Ocean Software, Played from Tape
So my original of this is actually novaload, which this is not - I believe this is actually the original release, and the novaload version is a budget release. That said, my original does not load anymore, so this blue screen loader version is what you get instead. It is still absolutely turbo tape though, since it at least loads within a few minutes... still, I do wish there was something to watch.
As to the game, it is WAY easier than I remember it - when I had it as a kid, it was quite the challenge, but I ended up turning it off after playing it for around 20 minutes because it just wasn't really providing a challenge today. Which is fine, because it was fun until it wasn't - as a budget game, this is fine, though if I'd have paid full price I'd have been sad, even back in the day.
