Nowadays? Tons of people. Some have 4 megabytes. But the most common single RAM upgrade you can buy right now is a 1 meg upgrade that results in an XL machine having 1088k (and the 130XE having 1,152 k) Anyone with a VBXE but no other upgrade will essentially have 320k or more. (plus 256k as just VRAM - otherwise it's 512k for VRAM and whatever other upgrade you have) Anyone with a Rapidus has more than 35 megabytes to play with. It's really not that rare at all.
Seems a bit fast for that. - especially if it needs 1 meg of RAM. But I mean, that depends entirely on the disk drive (or emulator) used. I know my SIO2USB loads data at more than 20 kilobytes a second unless I force it to obey 1050 disk speed standards for some reason. A 64k game will load at in about 4 seconds at that speed. Theoretical maximum for SIO is about 70 kb/second I think. Faster speeds would require a cartridge or expansion bus device. Those can hit the full 1.79 mhz bus speed, so that's... Nearly 1.8 megabytes/second...
great demo. amazing music :)
Cool demo!
I love the Warhawk end......
great draconus cover. and karateka throwing some moves!
some large pixels your sporting there!
Is it 1mb?
Who in the hell had 1024k RAM for this system? ?????????
1 meg isnt that uncomon now, but who the fk would waste it on like 2 animations and some pictures, its lame

My god.....seriously......loading at standard SIO speed ?!?!?
