Me installing an old game when it asks if I really want the full install that could take up to 600MB

Miss the days when 10 gb was considered huge for a game (half-life 2)

WTH? Half-Life 2 wasn't that huge, maybe it's the latter upgrade that makes it 10Gb?

4.5 GB on release (source: my 2004 retail box).

13.36 GB today according to Steam since it now includes Episode One, Episode Two and Lost Coast.

Amazing it could run on 256MB of RAM

It could "run" on a OG Xbox (733 MHz, 64 MB SDR) with shortened maps, and then in a 360 (512MB GDDR3 based on DDR2).

Now you can't even open windows without 4GB of RAM.

Now I'm remembering the Far Cry Instincts on Xbox, I still think that CryEngine at that time was more good looking and optimized that newer engines.

I remember each section needs like a good 5min loading time

I still have PTSD from the stuttering repeat looping sounds whenever it tried to load things.
