Another routine with lots of data lines for lots of games. Whatever game you play, play the tape from the start. Don't try running it on it's own though: because you'll only get an 'Out of data' message: you need to bolt on the game data for hacking the game into line 400 onwards...
Powerload is a quite fast turbo loader, used in a few games.
This protection system appeared first around the start of 1984, and was written by "Tag" (Phil Taglione) for Incentive Software. However, it's been used by quite a lot of other software companies as well, including Beyond, Mirrorsoft, Prism and Ariolasoft. It can be recognised by the screen turning black, accompnied by a few ascending beeps. It then loads one short headerless block, and then a longer headerless block, which includes the attribute file for the game coming up "backwards" ie: right to left, starting from the bottom. The game also stops loading just before the end of the long headerless block.
Examples of PowerLoad games are Arena, Dynamite Dan, Deathwake.
