[Coco] Cassette I/O Error Question

[theother_bob]

Using CLOAD instead of CLOADM would yield a FM (File Mode) error.
Probably loss of data has occurred.

This needs a CLOADM not a CLOAD. That may be your problem.

The tape is double sided so you can try the other side of the tape which 
might work better than the first side.

It looks like the game can't be used with a disk system unless modified. 
That means you will need to unplug your disk controller. It does, 
however, seem happy with a Coco3.
