Yeah the 1541 floppy drive was a slow one. And there were commonly used software to speed up loading. We used one called Pink Floyd, and I'd guess it was the most widely spread fast-loader. Although, loading was still rather slow =)

Those were the days =) Yeah, text adventure games were an exciting genre! Maybe I was waiting for something like that when I installed Corto Maltese game on the tablet - but I must say that the modern point and click interface didn't quite bring the same magic as those age old games used to have. (Or, could it be that being nearly 30 years older somehow affects the gaming experinece? I wonder...)
