Galactic Games by Activision for C64 Loaded from tape
This is one of the games I got on the Six Sizzers pack back in the day, and I have serious nostalgia for it. But, others had told me it's actually a terrible game, so I braced myself and loaded it up.... and honestly? I had a lot of fun, and I'd strongly recommend this one if you get the chance.
For a multi even game, the tape loader is acutally not so bad - I let all of the cut scene text play for this video, but you can actually skip that with the fire button, and events don't end until you hit run stop, so you can play them over and over again - giving a decent amount of game per load.
Fun fact: When we got this game, the instructions were missing, and we did not know about the run stop thing - for the first few months we had the game, we were unable to get past the 100m slither - so we'd just play that even over and over and over. except, i guess because someone would hit the keyboard accidently, sometimes the next event would load.... we felt pretty dumb when we worked it out!
