Ghouls n Ghosts by US Gold, Loaded from tape
It's kind of funny, back then I always believed the US gold tape loading system was slow and horrible - this was mostly thanks to the likes of Turbo Outrun being super badly mastered... but actually, given a decent initial mastering games like Ghouls n Ghosts show that it actually wasn't that bad (though their tapes did, in my experience, fail easier than the likes of ocean - but then, there's a reason that Novaload and Freeload are legendary, and 75% of that is considering the reliability of the duplication!)
This one, and weirdly strider, were two of my favourites back then - this gets gameplay ready in under 5 minutes (around 4:30 of loading time). I let thaetitle music sit for a while, because Follin is the greatest - look it up and give it a full listen, because it's great!
