I may be wrong, but that's how I remember it.....I only had one friend with one, and I can remember we used to spend all night playing them, up till 8 in the morning type things, he only had three games, but happy times were had by all :-)

ActuallyMost games took about four minutes to load - it just seemed like hours to our impatient child minds.
Later on, with the 128k speccy and multi-load games, they started to get a bit longer, but no game ever took half an hour!
There are, bizarrely, some examples on youtube: Stick in 'spectrum loading sequence' and you can see the vids are mostly about 6 minutes long, including a minute or two of gameplay at the end.
