Hooray.
I hope Andy gets them backed up at some service prior to having the tapes read out, but he has been in business so he has his stuff down pretty well.
I wonder if the hardware is same operation where the tape is an audio tape and the tape data is converted by a chip to appear to be readable character text on the monitor when a player is playing the game. Ramtek Trivia which was released in 1975 does it that way.

I forgot the Tourvision system was supported years earlier. src/mame/drivers/tourvis.c
If the wanted list is correct, and after the latest cartridges (in photo) are supported, there are a couple other cartridge titles still missing.
