I dug up some examples, I don't have the talent needed to remake that, nor the executables for it but this is what people could compress back in the day:
699 bytes:
923 bytes:
1.4kb:
The same but smaller so 770 bytes:
and some eye candy:
2.3kb:
2.1kb:
10kb !
So yeah, hard to push that original under 1kb I guess, but who knows ^^ !
Merry Christmas !
Shit, you're absolutely right, I missed an (in hindsight very obvious) optimization - bit depth. It's been so long since I've actually needed to worry about it that I forgot that the setting existed! What makes it even worse is that I did already play with quantizing the colors dwon to a more limited space, I just never baked that in as the bit depth haha.
