Fairlight is a 1985 ZX Spectrum game from The Edge. It came on cassette, and loading it meant waiting it out in front of the TV while colored stripes raced across the border and the loading screen appeared line by line.
In UsuArcade's ZX Spectrum Room you play it online, free, right in your browser: grab a desk, pick the tape off the shelf and, once the loading ritual is done, you're in.
