I had to fast forward or rewind a cassette tape to a specific time to play a game in the computer.
Time stamps!? Why didn't I think of that? I just pressed play and FF at the same time, count the blank spaces. 10th program count 9 blanks. I was such an idiot at 14.

My childhood was filled with clear plastic, I kinda hate those cause half of em were of questionable quality.

They cost 20c to play and you only got 3 lives.
