I found this discussion recently. It's pretty interesting. I'm glad that we don't have the same limitations on storage space and memory that we had a few decades ago. However, I still have a ton of respect for people who were able to fit a lot of game content into a remarkably small amount of space.

Actually, seems like a great thread for the Developer Discussion forum. Give that place some love!

This is very interesting. Especially with games like the original Legend of Zelda (as one of the answers discusses).
