About this game
Tape Recovery Simulator 96K is a game about recovering data off of reluctant old tapes. Rediscover the lost art of loading data off tapes. Explore and reclaim hidden digital treasures or ignore worthless data. Fight a single undefeatable boss and his management nonsense. Features: Enjoy using a real simulated tape player with all the proper buttons (play, stop, ff, rew). Turbo tape loading speed speed of up to 1.6 kb/s. 8bit applications. Tutorials available for players without previous experience on loading data off tapes. Skippable tutorials for advanced players. Discover and enjoy Goatsketcher's fake art. Work and suffer for a pittance as an EES employee with an absurd boss and (semi-)impossible tasks. Tweak sound volume to appease the 8bit loading routine that is extremly unforgiving to data errors. Rediscover and use old data recoverty tricks. Absolutely no cutscenes. Dad time supported. Can be played for as little as a few minutes at a time.
