Spy Hunter by US Gold/Commodore, played from tape
This is the standard early us gold novaload we've all seen a bunch before, at this point, but I just wanted to say how quickly the game loaders - which makes sense being a 1983 cart release in the US, which meant it was only 16k of data at most - _uncompressed_, which means really probably around half of that once compressed. But yeah, 2 minutes is a hell of a quick loading time!
Also, the game is pretty fun, especially when you consider how early in the systems life it is! I do enjoy the trick they use of changing the map in order to avoid having to do an eight way scroll
