description:
Back in the day, video games weren't bloated. They were small, optimized pieces of code that ran very fast on target hardware.

Some of the most influential video games to ever exist were built in less than a few hundred kilobytes. Let's take a look as some of the most influential tiny games to ever exist. ► Support the Channel - https://www.patreon.com/ModernVintageGamer Sources: ► https://github.com/johnidm/asm-atari-2600/blob/master/pitfall.asm ► https://elite.bbcelite.com/ ► https://web.archive.org/web/20111105013645/https://pitfallharry.tripod.com/MapRoom/PitfallMap.html ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfAnxaWiSeE Music: Artist: JazzCat Title: Electric city https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr2SD-mFRps Artist: Brian Johnson Title: Hired Guns (1993) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEGAwobDAiM Artist: Russell Shaw Title: Syndicate Soundtrack - Assassinate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CmmxGBlGbI Social Media Links: ► TikTok : https://www.tiktok.com/@modernvintagegamer ► Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/ModernVintageGamer ► X : https://x.com/ModernVintageG ► IG: https://instagram.com/ModernVintageGamer ► BandCamp : https://modernvintagegamer.bandcamp.com/ #TinyGames -
