Crazy that it only needs 3.5mb of disk space.
You can buy this forgotten '90s shooter from its original website, which is a perfectly preserved time capsule of PC gaming's golden age

Back then Amiga computers were at their peak, it wasn’t uncommon for a whole game to be on a single 1.44 MB floppy. It was also pretty common that booting from the disk was the only way to launch the game.

I guess it’s good that devs don’t need to optimize as much as they had to, but I also feel like we’ve collectively allowed the laziness to go too far, with 110gb updates and stuff.

Yes I too look nostalgically look back on my games having nothing but beep audio because I didn’t have one of three sound cards my chosen game decided to support

Ok but that’s kind of on you for not noticing that everything supported Soundblaster.
