Were they so big? I remember seeing stickers on game boxes/cartridges about having 16MB, even 1 with 24MB (maybe Urban Strike?), and me and my friends always thought that those games had to be good because they had those 16MB. Ah, the good old times... |
Yeah, I remember Sega making a big deal about Strider because it was "The world's first 8 Meg game!". Then Nintendo made a big deal about Street Fighter II being a 16 Meg game! It went back and forth for a while. Even the Super Metroid commercial said, "That's 24 Megs! Nintendo's biggest game, ever!" I stopped keeping track at around 1995 but I remember seeing an ad for Super Street Fighter 2 for the Genesis. It said, "The Genesis version comes in at a whopping 40 Megs while the Super Nintendo version limps in with only 32." Goddam, Sega knew how to push my buttons! I was furious!
