Yeah. It's absolutely mind boggling how creative programmers were when resources were so limited. For example, even in the mid 90's, Nintendo 64 games were in cartridges as small as 8mb. Yeah, I'm still there for the more niche subjects. I just like using the term "other site" as a tongue in cheek, us vs. them kind of thing. I dunno, it's fun.Pretty cool video. All that stuff was before my time, but I always find that game developers really had to be smarter/crafty with the way they amade games. Probably a lot more so than they do now.
Also, "the other site" still has some worthwhile content when you know where to look. Don't sweat using them from time to time. I know I don't.
