well, I know N64 had 64 MB cartridges for some of the smallest games, also some PSone games surpassed one gigaByte (4 CDs is more than 1GB)

N64 carts were 64MB max.... early games were 4MB so N64 games were 4-64MB

CD-ROMs have 700MB of space... so 4CD games could theoretically be 2.8GB (of course that won't be the case, as each disc will have to have copy protection and other stuff on it, so I suspect any games that were large enough to warrant 4CDs were more like 1.5GB.

GC discs were 1.4GB limit... take out the extra stuff and I suspect the max limit for game content is a little over 1GB per disc.

I was under the impression that the biggest N64 cartridge was 512 MB... lol

I thought it would be at least 256MB to be honest.  I've done a little googling on the matter and it seems that the largest was indeed 64MB.  That means Capcom did one hell of a job getting Resident Evil 2 down from 2 CDs on the PSX to a 64MB cartridge for the N64.
