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 draconus cover. and karateka throwing some moves!
great demo. amazing music :)
I love the Warhawk end......
Cool demo!
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 ?!?!?
