What is the smallest steam game?

[ExtramaritalSexualOverachiever]

I was recentally downloading some games and noticed that (even when games are gigabytes in size) Steam measures them in megabytes, it then occured to me that there are some good games out there that are *kilobytes!* And it got me thinking of what the smallest game on steam right now is. So, whats the smallest game on steam? And does steam measure it in kilobytes or does it do fractions of mega bytes, i couldnt find an answer on google.

Maybe not the smallest but this one is 71Mb:

You'd definitely be looking for old(er) DOS or DOS-based games here. And never mind the above, this one is only 6Mb:

When I look at:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/204180/Waveform/

the folder in Steam is 642 MB - I may have something smaller except windows sorting sucks... PS probably not DOS...

There are a few games that are mobile ports, maybe those will be super small? Also im trying to get size on some dos games but the storepage just dosnt show it.

While searching i found this game, witch (although recommended hardrive space is 60 MB) is only 27~ MB

Kasi says under system requirements "100 MB Available Space"

Did something change in an update? Are we talking about the same Kasi?

Yeah, it's impossible for a game with this many images/color, etc to be 11kb. I think he may have meant his actual save file, not the game itself.

Not even an Atari 2600 game is 11kb. Heck, most text docs are bigger than that.

To be fair. On most modern and even semi modern systems it's impossible for a file to be that small. The smallest unit of space your system can assign by default is 32kb. As in even if you had only 11kb of data it would still occupy 32kb of space.

There's some NES games being sold on Steam. Example, Nightshade. Those might be a good place to start at if you don't count the 2600 collection games separately.
