Every new game release lately seems to want to bump up "Minimum" and "Recommended" specs. I've been playing Diablo II a little lately, and its minimum specs reflect the computers of the time when it was released a couple of years back - but even know with a spec that dwarfs their recommendations (ie, they recommend 64mb of ram, minimum 32, and I h ave 1gb) I still get CPU lag from time to time. The thing that's prompted thinking about this was the lack of a concrete spec for SWG, despite a few rumors.
The point being, its nice when you see things like this, which manage a decent graphical display, a bit of music, and all in 64k. Makes you yearn for the old Amiga days doesn't it.
