    1mb 1999 memory card just stored save files… save files today are also pretty small. I think I’ve seen some saves today that are like 20mb. Im sure some are bigger, but even 100mb save is whatever these days.

    This should have just shown a disc or cartridge that would represent 650mb for disc, and an N64 game could hold 64mb to compare it to today’s 150gb games.

    I still don’t get the big deal. The resolution back then was 480 so textures took up nothing. Today, we have huge games with a crazy amount of unique assets all made for 4k resolution. Somethings gotta give!

    • This made me wonder what game currently has the largest average save file size, but I’m having trouble finding specifically that and not just the games with the largest installation size. I don’t suppose anyone here might know?
