    Went through my old files and ran into something I found a long time ago. A german company working on compression technology showed a few samples (made in 2001). This will make your jaw drop:

    A game lasting 10-15 minutes, 5 weapons, decent graphics along the lines of HD render of quake and music. Size? 95kb

    Several videos lasting 10-15 minutes, also good renders and music. Size? 42-64kb. Apparently it is 1.3gb of data compressed into this size xd

    You can check them out here if you like xD

    The Product.rar

    Edit: Actually here is info about them and links to everything they made, including awards they won.

    The file might come up as a false positive with a few antivirus programs because of the compression (a single exe under 100kb size using up over 1gb of disk space while it runs) xD

    If you are interested, here are 2 games I made years ago back in 2007 xD Good memories

    My games.rar

    The first is a puzzle game, the 2nd is a shooter. I took pacman sprites though xD Press F1 for the help file xd Built in a couple of cheats if you can find them lol

    In the 15 mins lasting video they said they used 7 kbs just for text after the credits because they were bored LOL
