On the Commodore 64 I had to sit through 20-30 minutes of loading for some games (Siren City) before turbo loaders came in. Also with the infamous 'Datasette' you were lucky that the tape heads were aligned well enough the load data properly - hearing the autostop at the end of the tape was one of the most soul destroying experencies of my early youth (apart from following the city, obvs.).
