Invade-a-load! One of the more obscure memories from the days of loading games from audio tapes. Invade-a-load was a customised tape loader for the C64 which allowed the patient (hehe) gamer to enjoy a brief spurt of a Space Invaders clone whilst they waited for their preferred game to load from tape. Whilst similar things made an appearing in the early CD-console era, it seems to have gone dormant again… but then again, when you’ve got HD installs for both Xbox 360 & PS3 titles… maybe it needs to come back from the grave again ;)

An awesome vector version of the loading screen to the C64 version of Arkanoid. One of many which the guys over at the Daily Rodent have been putting up recently (most of them are from C64 games, with the occasional one or two from the Spectrum versions instead). The full set can be viewed from the following posts: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 (via The2Bears)
