Funny that I didn't come across your version of Encounter tape, perhaps I shall update that loading section later on with all the loading pictures and times included. Thanks again for your input!FRGCB Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16754639927704915007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514691251207559863.post-5117685628964796052015-09-15T23:51:26.655+03:002015-09-15T23:51:26.655+03:00BTW, Ancipital could possibly been the first game ...BTW, Ancipital could possibly been the first game to use the Special variant of Novaload (Novaload S100101).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18340778801705698366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514691251207559863.post-39868990966947017652015-09-15T23:46:08.598+03:002015-09-15T23:46:08.598+03:00The .tap file I have of the C64 version has a diff...The .tap file I have of the C64 version has a different loading screen with the screeching noises and a counter. Here's a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-yfMBD6EcE. The earliest games that I found that use Novaload which have loading music are the US Gold ones, some of Ocean's early titles (such as Daley Thompson's Decathlon), Ancipital by Jeff Minter, and Gandalf the Sorcerer from Tymac.
