Invade-a-Loadとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Invade-a-Load was a loader routine used in software for Commodore 64 computer. It was used in commercial games that were stored on cassette tape and loaded using the Datassette. Invade-a-Load was a typical "turbo tape" loader, with one notable feature: While the actual game was loading—a process which usually took a long time, even with optimized loader routines—the loader allowed the user to play a smaller game to pass time. The game was a clone of the famous Space Invaders game. The minigame was loaded in under a minute, providing entertainment while waiting for the actual game to load which could take a further five to ten minutes. It mostly appeared in games sold in the UK, as, by the time it was written, the Commodore market in the US had mostly switched to floppy disk media.
