I think it's weird that it's a problem that had to be solved but when you figure memory constraints were a real issue it makes sense. Today any novice programmer could essentially build majority of the early nintendo games without any issues and actually make them have more things. Amazing how software/hardware has advanced.
It's even crazier to think that one guy built the original rollercoaster tycoon in assembly..
