    Didn’t some games in the DOS era use a lot of base memory? Like to the point that after RAM was a thing there wasn’t enough base memory to run them. I seem to recall trying to run Elite (Frontier 2) and on a computer with Win95 or maybe 98 and it said there wasn’t enough memory.

    There were even old programs like doublespsce that would free up some base memory for more memory intensive games
