Ah, yes. 300 lines of basic from a magazine, wrote it to a cassette tape and played it back when I wanted to play the game.

Same with Commodore and my Japanese drum machine from the 90s.

Stands to reason that VHS would put that "on steroids", relatively speaking.

There's some projects on guthub that turns sound into files same deal. Interesting way to convert and its been around for a long time.
