And that amounts to about 2.5 megabytes of files :) Just looking at them, these files were so small - the biggest was about 16kb (most are 4-8kb). Amazing how they could make such fun and playable games out of so little.
Current PC games are often 4+ gigs. Sure, they are
much more complex, and a lot of that storage goes into multimedia (video cutscenes, sampled audio). It's just amazing how far things have come.
