it would cost a hell of a lot less than £100 per unit, that's an absurd price, regardless of the case.

That's near 4G speed compared to the time some games took to load. Seem to recall Jet Set Willy took 30 minutes+

It took Horace Goes On The Dole a full fortnight to load. And even when it did - which was as rare as hen's teeth - the computer would implode and take the whole street with it back to the level of hell it whence came.

We were so poor we had to memorise the machine code then recreate the appropriate tones and noises with only a microphone, car battery and jump leads attached to our testicles.
Manic Miner would take 2 months to load, and when or even if it did we were raided by the thatchers private police for striking and beaten within an inch of our lives.
