You get inured to that when you've enough miles on the clock.

Bruce Lee never left the tape deck. Then there was the free cassettes you got with the magazines. I remember one came with a map-based game that my dad & I got obsessed with and were determined to finish. Sadly the tapes were of such poor quality that they only worked once before the tape ate itself. 

5 copies of the same magazine we bought that month. Can't remember what the game actually was, I only remember that on 2 occasions, you had to look at something closely.
