I can't for the life of me remember what they called that type of loader but I remember everybody jaw drop when they saw the impossible for the first time.

Hmmm... I remember Isepic... that would take a game, complete disk and compress it into one file... and it had a kickass loader that was quick...

also there was a group... Scoopex I think that released a bootblock loader that was very quick and would make your harddrive sound like it was gonna explode...

Do you remember what game had this loader?
