13. A Picture On Your Smartphone Is Bigger Than The Legend Of Zelda & Super Mario Bros. Combined

Nintendo

It's not only those two games either - take a second and think of your favourite titles that appeared on the NES, SNES, or even the Mega Drive.

Their average file size was around half a megabyte, which as any average smartphone takes pictures in HD (up to and surpassing 7-8MB, depending on the resolution), it's safe to assume the likes of Super Mario Bros. (30KB), Zelda (64KB), even adding Sonic The Hedgehog (375KB) or Altered Beast (325KB), would have a combined file size lower than any modern day photograph.

Just to really mess with you - thanks to the exponential increase in image quality over the years, a high-res version of The Legend of Zelda's original logo is bigger than the entire game as it was presented back in 1986.

Boom.
