That would be from tape. Use the disk version in a disk drive and it
would load faster.

Castle Wolfenstein (the original, not the much later silly 3D-erised
nonsense) used to take about five minutes to load on the Apple ][ from

have to wait for it to load all over again. (Thank goodness for the
Turbo Boost mode on the Apple ][ emulator!)
