I wrote boot sector stuff (1k) on the Amiga (68k assembler). Today I wonder if I could have written a game (tech wise and skill wise).

  Definitely. For example, a boot sector Space Invaders in 512 bytes. https://github.com/nanochess/Invaders https://github.com/nanochess/Invaders

    It depends on your video memory and how it is structured. Also as I've said, skills ;-)

      No need for graphics. In the 80s, when MS-DOS was popular but graphic cards were expensive, ASCII games were very popular and pretty fun. Not having bitmaps greatly reduces binary size. https://www.dosgames.com/tag/ascii https://www.dosgames.com/tag/ascii
