This sounds nearly identical to my TRS-80 model one William Tell demo.

It sounds just like an organ. It would be great in a hockey arena.

I am Garry. That was me that made the William Tell program. It won first place in the Color Computer News magazine programming contest. It's cool to find this video. Did you really have to record the sound of the tape loading, though? :-)

Ah yes the doo-dweet, doo-dwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh we heard hundreds if not thousands of times, loading up PacTac or Zaxxon or something. :) Good times.

Man, I wish I still had my TRS-80 and tape drive... Maybe I'll pick one up off eBay. Thanks for posting this great video. Takes me back! ;-)
