went into my loft yesterday and spent the whole day scouring thru my home micro comp collections, just thought i'd share this ad from one of my dragon 32 magazines 200kb was considered enormous back in early 80's I remember i bought some micro drives for gaming on my sinclair spectrum in those days and was thrilled by it too..

well on the good old amiga times, with 20 Mbs you would be set for life almost At those time the software wasn't bloated like today...
Ah yes, the Amiga. :thumbsup: I still got my old miggy 500 with 20MB HDD, bought during those yearly computer exhibit at earl's court london, at first 20MB seems more than enuff, but then the Amiga scene in UK/Europe was huge, with the public domain stuffs, games, BBS downloadable goodies, it filled up too fast and I still remember I had to upgrade in less than a year after bought.
I'm still of the opinion that games aren't any bigger than they were a few years ago - it's just that developers are getting lazier on the compression!
