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.
