I think the smallest games are these which are common on compilations like Rick Dangerous, International Karate+, Virus, Carrier Command.

Frontier has the whole galaxy on a floppy and dungeon master is only 14 dungeons. No comparison in terms of which is biggest

The Frontier universe may be huge but its all code. There aren't any external graphics to load as its all contained in one relatively small executable file. The opening post is about the most amount of game data compressed onto a single disk. Unless anyone can prove otherwise I think Dungeon Master is winning so far.

Tough question really, without looking into the data on the disks, its hard to workout for the non tech-minded user.
A lot of crackers/hackers modded disks down to 1 disk using compression. However, I wonder what kind of compression tools were common in the commercial industry? |
