A tape drive was a standard accessory for the Commodore 64. Almost all games were on tape. The Amstrad CPC 464 had a tape drive integrated into the chassis (the 6128 used a 3" floppy - not 3" 1/4, a 3" disk). In the UK and Ireland, in the late 80s, the majority of games software in computer shops was for these two platforms (much cheaper than a PC), with a handful floppy disk stuff for PCs. Consoles came in from the toy shop side rather than the computer shop side.
