Is it a Spaceballs reference? I know Pullman’s character was Lonestar or Loadstar (Lord Helmet not being known for perfect diction). That’s the big Frickin’ Swede’s best guess.
Google was worthless. I don’t know. I’m pretty sure it isn’t Space Balls though. That was definitely Lonestar.
Wasn’t Loadstar associated with Commodore 64? But I thought Commodore 64 was birthed in 1982, not 1981.
That’s my guess.
is it a reference to this?
oops. Josh, could yoou fix my last message and delete this one. it should’ve shown a link to this site: http://www.dpluss.com/loadstarcom.htm
Apparently someone else liked the name too.
Then of course you’ve got your Loadstar portable load bank.

My mom has come closer than anyone else. Very good, Mom! Can anyone get closer than that? Follow her lead.
So does Loadstar 81 kinda represent the beginning of the gaming age?
No, it’s much more concrete than that.
To use a Commodore 64 game disk, insert floppy and type:
Load “*”81
Or, Load “*” ,8,1 And that would load the first program on a 5″ floppy disk in the drive on a C-64.

There you go, people. Good work, Pop!
“Lodestar” is also a Sarah Harmer song. And a really good one at that.
