Many times over the years have I offered this game as an example of genius combined with good will. It is not a virus - although I commend people for being so aware of suspectly small application size. That is the reason why the game is so small in size and still offers such powerful 3D effects, while taking a longer time to "load".
At the time many/most people thought it was written in ASM hence the small size the developers, though, revealed it was written in C (or C++, I forgot) but it used a particular technique: instead of storing already created textures and objects and whatnot it actually stored the algorithms required for creating them.
Somebody however mentioned it was created for a competition. *sigh* Young people don't know about this gem. Also please elaborate about how games taking up more than 100 KB means that the world is falling apart And there are still good games being made nowadays, you just need to stop scoping out the bad ones to find them. Nobody ever claimed that the more storage a game takes up the better the game is either, you're the only one I've ever seen judge games based off of how much storage they take up, it's ironic to complain about a lie that you made up. Compressing things to low sizes like this isn't a simple task. now than they were back then and it was necessary for more storage to be taken up for it to be possible. Textures are higher quality, maps are larger, etc. And the reason why the average size of games is going up is because it has to for game's to progress. As the average size of games increases over time, so does the average size of the storage devices, it's why 700 MB was a lot in 1998 but it's barley anything now for example, or why 20 MB was a lot in 1985 but it's pretty much nothing now. Most games in 2004 took up 2-5 GB of space, this game was one of a kind for it's time in that aspect. So there, a brilliant concept buried by greed, in a world that's now falling apart." Games taking up less than 100 KB of space wasn't a common thing at all in 2004, you'd have to go back to the 70's if you want a time when that was common. But as the lie goes - "the bigger, the better". "If this path were followed we wouldn't have nowadays games taking dozens of gigabytes still being lousy in many aspects. It's not like this game is ultra popular in the first place, I'm sure there are many old people who don't know about it either. 0 people don't know about this gem" Then tell more people about it.
