Jeez, 18.6 gigs for a game that looks like that. I’m going to play it anyway of course, but I wonder why, with low res textures and models, that it takes that much space. Engine?

This looks like it’s actually 3D. Combined with modern sounds and music, probably a rather large library of textures regardless of resolution, and modern programming “sensibilities,” that’s what you get.
Wolf3D fit on a floppy.

And Return to Castle Wolfenstein fit on a CD-ROM.

I’m a middle aged man now, I was around when 3D acceleration became a thing for PC, first with Voodoo 1 and so on and so forth. And let me tell ya, you don’t need 18 gigs for these graphics. Or maybe you do, maybe it takes like 200 hours to complete the game, idk. I’m just complaining about the compression.

They’re just lazy now because storage is (relatively) cheap.
