Yes I too look nostalgically look back on my games having nothing but beep audio because I didn’t have one of three sound cards my chosen game decided to support

Ok but that’s kind of on you for not noticing that everything supported Soundblaster.

That was the audio equivalent of RTX ON.

Crazy that it only needs 3.5mb of disk space.

Back then Amiga computers were at their peak, it wasn’t uncommon for a whole game to be on a single 1.44 MB floppy. It was also pretty common that booting from the disk was the only way to launch the game.

I guess it’s good that devs don’t need to optimize as much as they had to, but I also feel like we’ve collectively allowed the laziness to go too far, with 110gb updates and stuff.

I personally would prefer spending my time building new stuff, but I think if I had to, optimizing can also be fun and interesting in its own way.
