I might just be dreaming though.

Ah, if you want real nostalgia, you want to be putting in the code, after you have viewed it through the rather difficult to use Lens-Lok device, which was a plastic device you held up to your TV, which through the magic of refraction, would decypher the code displayed on your tele and once you entered it, you could play the game (Elite). Although... even if you did have a lens lok device, you always thought 'what the hell letter is that' and you entered your best guess. It never really worked properly, because I don't think that there's anyway it could have worked properly with different sized TVs out there. You know, just applying the laws of physics and all.
Still, at least you didn't have to be online for it to work. Also, your saved games were local (to your tape :-) and you could use them on other machines too... (cue futuristic music).
