My neighbor surprised me by giving me his childhood TI99/4A and a bunch of accessories and he asked to come by the lab if I got it working. Today I get to pay him back, show him his restored computer and try to recover a game from cassette that was lost for 38 years.

This episode is sponsored by PCBWay https://www.pcbway.com Cassette tapes degrade over time, and eventually you may not be able to read the data stored in them. In this episode, we dive into the technical details of cassette tape data recovery: how data is encoded, what we can do to recover it, and what kind of tools we can use.
