My brother and I had a Commodore 64 with a magnetic tape drive. Our main use case was games, of course. A few times, my brother used BASIC to make some drawings on the screen. He is a software developer now. I prefferred playing FRP games of Dragonlance series and basketball games. Adjusting the tape drive for different tapes' speeds was a serious issue.
