This takes me back to the NES era, where developers squeezed entire worlds into a few kilobytes of ROM. What blows my mind here is that even the NES had ~40KB of program space — and this entire boss fight, complete with sprite animation, scrolling landscape, and MIDI music, fits in 256 bytes. The NES ROM header alone is 16 bytes. Incredible work.
