Playing the Loading Screen? | ZX SPECTRUM

For us ZX Spectrum owners, loading games from cassette tapes was a pain in the arse! It was always made better though by a good loading screen! Join me as we look at some of the good ones, the unique ones and even one you could play!!

[@KevReillyUK]

I remember being very impressed by the minigame loader on _Joe Blade II_ but here's the thing... in my memory it wasn't Pac-Man. It was something else. Possibly a tile-matching game of some sort, but definitely NOT an arcade conversion. I've looked all over the place to see if there was an alternate release, but the only copies I can find all have Pac-Man as the loader. I'm beginning to think I've Mandela Effected myself on that one. The _Manic Miner_ "animated" loading screen had absolutely blown my mind a few years earlier until I realised what a simple trick it employed, so when *actual* animated screens started to appear, followed by *interactive* screens... I thought these people must be wizards. My favourite non-custom loading screen is probably _Athena,_ from the era when graphic artists were mastering the techniques of reproducing poster art while minimising attribute clash. It was amazing how much detail could be crammed into 6¾ kilobytes by a talented artist. Hat-tips to _Midnight Resistance_ and _Firefly_ for the same reason.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Great comment - thanks. I've pinned it in case anyone can help you with your recollection of Joe Blade 2

[@blatherskite3009]

I'm glad the Technician Ted one made the cut, because that blew my tiny little mind as a kid. I didn't think the Speccy was capable of doing things while it was loading. But the one that really impressed me was "Thrust" which mimicked the BBC Micro's block loading system on the Speccy, so if there was a loading error you could just rewind a second or so and have another run-up. Genuinely useful.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Oooh did not know about that! Cheers!

[@i_hate_this_world]

I had another Firebird game that had a loader like that. Name escapes me just now, but I remember enjoying it and really liked the ability to rewind and reload any section that went wrong

[@MrHarbonaut]

Thanks for including Robocop and being so nice about it, the cheque is in the post.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Ha no worries! I nearly put Chase HQ in too, you did some pretty awesome loaders!

[@mamehaze]

Moonstrike with the 'Movieload' was definitely an interesting one, although to be honest a lot of the Speccy loaders were entertaining, even when they were primarily designed to stop people copying the tapes.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Ooooh don't know that one 👀

[@tonyp3824]

Top 5 Specky loading screens… LOVE IT! 😂 Such memories.

[@thenodfather]

Some great screens there. The loading screen could almost be a trailer for the game. Mr. Thorpe's screens were classics.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Oooh trailer for the game... I should have said that!!!

[@thenodfather]

@@SebsPlaceYT Well, if ever talking about them again ....... 🙂

[@arostwocents]

The Rambo one is fantastic. Brilliant use of colour to trick the brain into believing it's a full colour image.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

100%

[@veritanuda]

Sebs right, they do add to the anticipation of the game. Some loading screens like the Psytron one, for example, really gave depth to the idea you are on a space base somewhere and could see all the corridors, and areas you are supposed to protect from sabotage and attacks

[@KidMrRemixes]

Fabulous look at what, perhaps, many Spectrum users had subconsciously taken for granted. I had a top loading tape player with a broken play button, so I had to jam a pencil into the play mechanism and hold it there for the game to load, which was stressful to say the least - for a 12 year old anyway. I can’t express the joy I felt when a game would load properly. And if it “loaded before dinner was ready..” it was a huge bonus. Rambo is a great example of a screen that got the anticipation levels up to 11, although Green Beret was probably my personal favourite.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Ha love this, the things we did to get those games working 😁 I'm working on a Green Beret video as I had a love hate relationship with that game. Great David Thorpe loading screen though!

[@OperationPhantom]

This is good nostalgia! A Pretty loader screen and hopefully a nice bit of music (C64 memories mainly for me) was always a great mood setter indeed. Nice to see some really well done Speccy ones. Thankfully now you have those preserved tape-to-digital files that allow you to re-live the tape experience without having to worry about a load error.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Yes! So much better 😁

[@agathodemonic]

A Mekon's t-shirt zips up at the back.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Excellent! Thank you!

[@veritanuda]

@@SebsPlaceYT FWIW I seem to recall it not being T-shirt in so much as a futuristic spacesuit akin to those early 50's Sci Fi tropes. So probably had poppers down the side or back or something.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

I like the idea of poppers 😁

[@agathodemonic]

@@SebsPlaceYT Haha!

[@davidmylchreest3306]

On the C64 we had Invade-A-Load, a Space Invaders clone you could play while waiting for your game to load. It was on a few different games, but I can't remember specific ones.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

I have heard of this. I'm tempted to do a C64 video too

[@zawtowers]

A good and entertaining look at the loading screens, messages and even that little Pac-Man clone during loading on the Spectrum - all very good to the eye and I'm sure everyone has fond memories of different loading screens and the artwork within. Keep up the good work! I'd love to see you do a follow up with Commodore 64 loaders - you have loading screens, but also several with iconic loading music (The Last Ninja, Last Ninja 2, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Sanxion, Retrograde, the Ocean loaders), some with games that played during loading (Invade-a-Load, Load'n'Play, Micropainter) and some where you could mix the music when loading (aka Mix-e-Load, used in Delta and Hawkeye.) There was even the innovative loader for Dragon's Lair and its sequel Escape from Singe's Castle, which loaded the next level whilst playing the current one. So plenty to go at there.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Great, thank you! Definitely something I will pick up at some point. Cheers!

[@spartan.falbion2761]

Imagine how excited it was for me as I'd just discovered Dan Dare/The Eagle and those games existed. The comic was cancelled and/or infrequently published for some time.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

[@SebsPlaceYT]

[@billybollockhead5628]

I honestly 100% remember threatening my speccy - "If you dont load this f-ing thing this time, I'm throwing you out the window"... It worked 9 times out of 10. I Also remember that speccy mag with Dustin on it, but I cant remember loading screen.. Now I have to hunt it down to see if i remember playing it

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Haha I remember doing that 🤣 Dustin is a great little game. One of my favourite freebies.

[@newsbender]

Renegade was my favourite. I loved the cassette art and the loading screen was in a similar style. What a game, too!

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Amazing!

[@Phoenix2312]

@Seb's Place GOD I am sad... Dan Dare's Enemies were not the Mekons... That was THEIR LEADER... The Mekon... They were THE TREENS... Go on, You know you want to shout it... NEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRD!!!!!

[@SebsPlaceYT]

😂😂 sorry my bad! You have out nerded me!! 😁😁

[@frankowalker4662]

The first impressive loading screens I saw was Halls Of The Things (1983), loading the screen AND the attributes at the same time, and Fairlight (1985), with it's countdown timer, colourful art and a belting tune when it loaded. They were both very early games.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Both excellent choices! Love Fairlight especially ❤️

[@Mucker-le6ld]

Game Over is my favourite loading screen😱

[@SebsPlaceYT]

😂😂 think I know why......

[@nightbeast8105]

what is nuts about tape loading back in the day, especially on the speccy was because it actually played to sound out through the speaker which you were forced to sit and wait and listen to while doing other stuff in your room while it loaded. The actual loading tones would get embedded in your head the way a song does if its on the radio all the time. To the point that you knew which version of speedlock or whatever fast loading process was in action or when certain tonal patterns started you knew it was loading a screen (especially the attributes part lol), about to finish loading or it had errored leading to rewinding the tape and start loading all over again... Weirdly I think Cassettes were the last widely used storage format for computers where you had a good idea of how much space was left to store more stuff by just looking at it and seeing how much reel/spool was left vs the capacity. i.e 30/60/90 etc... minute cassette

[@cottonfoo]

Yep, it got to the point where you could tell what game it was just by hearing the screen being loaded. The non-hyperload Ultimate games were quite distinctive with the three small separate loads at the end.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

100%, there were some games I could tell what they were blind folded. Especially the ones that only loaded on the 9th attempt!

[@audie-cashstack-uk4881]

Early new world order programming was very slow...

[@kester30]

I used to love any Ultimate release loading screen. I do remember being very excited when games began having different coloured loading bars round the edge rather than the blue/red then yellow/blue.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Ultimate ones were brilliant, totally agree!

[@veritanuda]

Oh man, some of those brought back memories. There was one game I can't remember now, that had some sort of fast loader that made moving patterns in the border which was pretty cool, because you can't actually draw in the border it all has to do with persistence of vision and timing. I know I am gonna sound like a stuck record here, but another cool thing about Dark Star is how they managed to draw shapes in the border when you are in the menus, effectively giving the impression of larger screens. Those Design Design boys really knew their speccy, which is odd because they used to write the games on something else to run on the speccy.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Some clever stuff done eh...that we didn't even really appreciate back in the day.

[@willward4499]

I always liked the Code Masters loading screens, especially Treasure Island Dizzy's.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Yeah the dizzy ones were great!

[@raithrover1976]

I find myself using the tape loader simulation feature on my Spectrum Next as I think loading the game is an important part of the experience of enjoying Speccy games. It also gives you time to boil the kettle and fix a cuppa. One of my personal favourites it Skool Daze with the angry headmaster looming in the doorway. One of my favourite Speccy games as well.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

It's interesting as I find sometimes the immediacy of loading a game makes it easier to jump into another one and not stick with one game for long enough. Loading it the old skool way does make you feel like you should give it more time if you get frustrated with the game early on.

[@dlarge6502]

Astounding. Im a C64 kid but really into other British computers such as the Acorn Electron abd BBC. I touched a speccy only once as a kid, wrote a basic program for a mate. I recently bought myself the same machine i borrowed off him, a Spectrum +2. I'll make sure to check out several of the games here as I'm really just starting to look at my +2

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Enjoy!!!

[@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533]

Huge fan of loading screens, so nostalgic for us old f@rts. Most of my favourites were copies of bob wakelin covers. Renegade, where time stood still, batman. But I was also impressed with nonteraqueos.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Cheers, I must check out nonteraqueos soon!!!

[@arostwocents]

Im surprised countdowns were not more frequently used. Would have helped with knowing how long you had to stay perfectly still to please the loading spirits 😂

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Yeah I hardly remember them!

[@i_hate_this_world]

Lol I remember doing that. I also remember leaving the room for some. Skool daze would only load for me if I did that. Pesky loading spirits lol

[@dennyhaynes3]

Great examples of Spectrum loading screens that as you say determined in your mind what sort of game you were about to get. These screens like the artwork on the cassette were part of the overall package which sadly has been lost by time.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

100% mate

[@blatherskite3009]

Funnily enough, I always felt the same way about movies: some would have a great title sequence, maybe even animated, while others just had generic letters on a plain background. Same as with games, it said something about how much the makers cared about presentation and was often a good tip-off about the quality of the main event.

[@GamerbugUK]

As ingenuous as these loaders were, I always felt a bit nervous when they lines weren't active at the side, made me feel like it wasn't loading (as this often did happen). Also recall loading screens looking very iffy sometimes as though they were bugged (again sometimes they were other times it was the style choice). Oh and nice one on your own loader there very cool.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Ha - thanks! 100% agree with not seeing the bars! Nervous times!

[@lambrettadave7]

Fred was on of my favourite loading screens

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Will check it out!

[@Jaimetron1]

Bit late, but I just wanted to say, check out the loading screen for Gyron on the Spectrum, This slightly creepy image of sleeping Sun God's face. Once the game loads the closed eyes open and the mouth also opens revealing a flying crystal. it was really unexpected back in 1986 and quite freaked my childhood self out!

[@SebsPlaceYT]

[@SebsPlaceYT]

[@SmallFox74]

Rigels Revenge had an insanely difficult puzzle right at the start that had me stumped for hours! Ooh the flashbacks! As for my suggestion for top nostalgic loading screens. I'll go with Tetra Cresta, Gauntlet, The Last Ninja, Saboteur, Skool Daze/Back 2 Skool and finally Ping Pong. These aren't the greatest loading images, just one that take me right back.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Some great ones there! Last Ninja is exceptional. Cheers!

[@Rustem_A_]

Oh...those goosebumps when you know nothing about the game, but the loading screen is so cool that your expectations rocket to stratosphere🎉 I remember the first time I saw that space trooper for the cracked version of the Exolon game. And that was the case, when the game didnt dissapoint! I played Saboteur just at the peak of my Martial Arts/Ninja -mania, so the loading screen captured the imagination and tortured with waiting as well. Again the game turned out to be a hit. Fantasy World Dizzy had a great loading screen too😊 and again, the fairytale adventure it promised was there!

[@SebsPlaceYT]

100%. Dizzy games are great examples! Fantastic loaders !

[@AndreiNeacsu]

I always loved the way Brian Bloodaxe loaded. Once the loading screen was up and the code stopped loading. It would take you to the 1982 Sinclair screen error screen, which was fake. Then some text appears to tell you the game is full of "Primary Imbalance" On first loading the game in I thought it hadn't worked properly. Very clever joke.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

Ha - love that! Gotta check that out! Thank you!

[@paulpetroleum]

It's really funny the first time you see it, also asks you to blow on your Spectrum to start the game.

[@B3tanTyronne]

Being more c64 based at the time, I have fond memories of invader load and mix e load for various games as they loaded. However, now, No matter what 8 bit title I play. be it speccy, amstrad or c64, I simply no longer have the time to sit and wait for a tape to load and really love the various sd card solutions I have for each system. I cannot go back to tape loading.

[@deadcatthinks6725]

Those were the days, you could read the instruction book, glare at the azimuth alignment head of the tape deck, daring it to mess about, make a cuppa. EDIT: Wow - hadn't thought of Dustin in yonks - great covertape, and felt very satisfactory to escape the jail and complete the game.

The Locomotion loader is interesting in one aspect. Its a Cheat! An impressive cheat, however, I got involved in a Twitter discussion a few years ago when some one asked how it was done. I have done some Z80 in the past and even a minor bit of loader customisation and decided to investigate. What I found was that the sliding blocks screen program once loaded simulated as if it was still loading data and the cassette has noise on it as if it was loading in BUT it isn't real program data. If you use an emulator (or real hardware) and pause the tape at some point when the screen is sliding the blocks into position it does not crash, in fact it continues as though you haven't paused the tape. If you then unpause the tape it continues and the sliding blocks program will finish and wait (because you paused the tape) for the fake noise to finish and then it will load the real game data. I am sure at one point in the Twitter discussion one of the people involved in the game confirmed my analysis of what was happening.

[@SebsPlaceYT]

That's incredible! Someone else in the comments mentioned you could stop the tape but this explanation is bonkers! So you waited longer for the load just to show off the sliding?
