Back when I had windows 98, I woild download game demos, even ful, games over dialup, and have a ton of fun playing them. The graphics weren’t the greatest, but the games were fun, and the demos would be very lightweight (but still take a ton of time on dialup lol). I was a demo junkie back in the day, till demos started getting larger and larger, but adding nothing really except eye candy. Now I have a 1 terabyte drive, and only a few games on it, and it’s nearly full (but I do dual boot, but still, Linux only takes up like 30,gig)
I actually miss the old games and how little space they too, up. I don’t care much for all the eye candy and ‘realism in today’s games. There were some really,spooky alien games out years ago that were a ton of fun to play.

Same here, I did the same back when. I spent months in a row playing the simple but challenging “blockman” game. And that is one thing I do enjoy about Linux, a LOT of the games available are older retro simple graphics style lightweight games like that. Games that will still scream on only 1 gig of ram. Quite a few retro 3D dungeon style games with simple blocky graphics, arcade style games, and 2D side scrolling games. So for those who like retro games Linux has a ton of similar available. :)
