I recently download the tapes of Cymbal software, and all of them work without problem, except Tanks.

The program load an run till title screen, but then break when you accept (or not) the joystick.

Is a bad tape or need some configuration to run?

Is there some .tap o .prg who runs properly

I've come across a few files like that in the GB20 catalogue. I think the idea is to give people a chance to see the load-up screens you sometimes get when loading a tape.

The digital archive for VIC-20 tape games is far from perfect. If you want access to a full, authentic, unbugged library of games, you need a datasette.

Probably is a configuration problem, I tried the GB copy and this works fine, but the checksum of my file and the file of GB are the same.
