I was playing on the Nes Emu the other day and thought -
"FFS Look at how many Nes Roms/games I can fit onto this tiny thin bit of plastic compaired to 1 Nes Cartridge which is about 200 times bigger than a SMC Card..."
it is amazing. I used to have a 30mb atari st hard drive and it was absolutely huge. now we can store 4 times that amount on a tiny little card and use it anywhere.
Actually-If you opened an NES cart you would find the rom was actually very small.I think they made the cart big so people thought they were getting something substantial for their money.Also it was a system for kids so the carts needed to be robust and hard to lose.But things have changed a lot over the last 20 odd years.I've seen electronics shrink so much I wonder how far it can go.Nanotechnology anyone?
