I don't think it could hold that much info. You're probably looking at something like Pong.

No way. Those babies can hold up to three games a side.

According to my quick and totally unthorough Google work, Dig Dug was over 2mb and 8 inchers never held more than 1mb. Pac-Man if you're lucky, not that Pac-Man is a bad game by any means. Ms. Pac-Man owned though.

Zero chance Dig Dug was 2mb. 200K maybe. You could d/l a rom.

The size is going to vary depending on what version you're talking about. Arcade ROM, game console or any of the several native versions that were written for the c64/atari/apple computers.

The c64 versions of those atari coin-op games were all pretty small and fit several to a disk.

On another nostalgia note, I remember having to shop around for CD-Rs at work in the early-mid 90s. Buying in bulk to get good price, they were $18/disc. Burning a series of coasters would really annoy the boss. Not to mention take a while on that state of the art 1x cd burner.

I had this



I remember playing some kind of game that had clowns that were trying to keep plates spinning on sticks.

[Fool]

6 games to a disk and dozens of those 40 count (I believe) disk holders stacked on top of each other all cracked versions of games most of which I'd never heard of and would only play the one time I put them in to check them out. My brother's C64 game collection was sweet.

I have a quality version of Dig Dug on my cell phone that's 178k, coincidentally.
