How to start a Commodore 64 game

How do I start a Commodore 64 game?

[Zorch]

After loading type RUN .............

[Mint]

I meant how do I load, I tried typing in "LOAD" and it says "PRESS PLAY ON TAPE" and I dont even have a tape.

LOAD"*",8,1

This will load the first program on the disk.

[Zorch]

Then i suppose you have a disk drive?

LOAD"$",8 <------------- loads the directory of the disk
LOAD"PROGRAMMNAME",8,1 <------ loads the programm PROGRAMMNAME

I guess taking a look into the manual would be a good idea

[Darendor]

The LOAD"$",8 should be followed by LIST.

[Mint]

The Load "*",8,1 worked!

Thanks for your help

Just so you understand what LOAD "*",8,1 means, it basically loads the first program that is on the disk. Usually this will be the program you want, but sometimes (like if a disk has more than one game on it) it may not.

Or if its a cartridge you just insert it before turning on the C64
