I remember running a massive picture section download 50 line BBS on 60 megs, with the bbs software, windows, and crap loads of files. Most anything could be stuffed on a floppy, hell odds were you could stuff 20 or 30 programs per floppy... Now see whats happened. Extra space = bad wastefull coding.
Exactly, it happend with computer programs and video games. Especially once the CD-ROM format was introduced. Remember when operating systems, word processing programs and many games came on one floppy and some great video games could fit on a cartridge? The programmers HAD to make it fit. With cheap storage now, they don't have to worry about efficiency as much so sloppy programming is more excusable.
