"64KB? thats it? thats nothing. Heck a 3 min MP3 can run you 4 MB."
What if i told you that you could get better than MP3 quality sound for 64Kb. Not just 3 mins, but 15 mins. All for just 64KB. The size of the text of this post is 1.23KB. So, for just 50 times the number of words in this post, you can get 15 mins of breathtaking sound.
but wait, theres more. "More? how can there be more? You used all of your 64KB on the sound!" Nope, theres plenty of room for 15 mins of 3D rendered scenes. "thats crazy. a small image can be as big as 10KB." Your right, but this is 15 mins of 3D rendered scenes at 1600x1200 all for just 64KB.
"But thats it, right? just the music and visual, right?" Nope. that includes textures for those items, items placement, camera movements. All in just 64KB. Thats right, for 64KB u get 15 mins of: Music, 7 individual 3D scenes, textures, models, positions, camera movements, object movements... all in just 64KB.
Now, all this seems far fetched, even if imposible. Many modern games take up many gigs of space, and dont look like this.
"i dont believe it. and besides, I like the GFX in (insert game here)!"
Don't believe?

Unzip it. The .exe file is just 64KB.
NOTE: DONT PUSH ESC WHEN IT TELLS YOU TO! Wait untill the screen turns compltly black for 10 seconds. This same guy did some other stuff as well, one specifically that went over the limit. If your interested, I'll provide linkage.
(If you wondering why this doesnt exactly sound like me, its because this is based on something [LBD]ELiTe said)
Just How Big is 64 Kilobites?
