the game small enough to fit on a cassette tape

Holy hell, that is OLD old. We're talking about the beginnings of digital time here. Had the first web constellations formed yet? How fast did you crank your CPU?

Yeah, I played it a lot, and a similar one called aviator which was a kinda flight sim. There wasn't really much of an internet back then but stuff was easy to copy on tapes.

You couldn't crank your CPU in the olden days, it'd make games run in fast forward.
