My thoughts: - The difference between 8 or 16 bit graphics at 320x200 30 fps and modern hdr 2k at 120 fps is orders of magnitude less data to manage. - Software developers were not abstracted as far away from the hardware as they are today. - Most games ran on DOS which was basically “bare metal” vs windows/multitasking/background processes.. - And you HAD to make efficient use of the compute and ram when dealing with limited resources, which honed the skills of serious game devs.
