Indeed. Heh, there was even a time when size was used for advertising - I have seen games promoted with messages like "Over 2 megabytes of graphics."

Despite its technical shortcomings, this was a good time for gaming. Many of the best classics were released during the early CD era.

The biggest annoyance of having to rely on the CD was that you had to wait for it to spin up every once in a while. For example, you push a button and then the game freezes for 5 seconds while the data is read from the disc. Or there was sometimes lag in speech/video playback.
