Biggest thrill for me was reverse-egineering the 'fast loader' code in
one of the games so that I could create my own TSR that would allow me
to load *any* game from the floppy drive using fast synchronous
transfer.....
I remember to run some app on my C64 (there was a 1541-II atached to it,
as well as a 1581 -- but the 1541-II is the device that came into play)
that used the floppy's CPU and RAM as a second node. MPP for crunching
fractals, in the 80s, at home! :D
