Ask HN: Clever optimizations in old video games?
Does anybody know any interesting or creative stories about how old time games (NES, game boy) were optimized to be able to fit as much content as they did?

Nobody tell Nathan Drake. It will ruin his life.

That was awesome, thank you! The example where he had 2 images in one and would do a pallet swap to show one or the other was SUPER cool!

I play in an indie rock band (http://www.goodkidofficial.com).
We make ~$1000 a month from Spotify, shows and merch sales.

There is something to be said about song structure. Most songs will have a chorus, which is repeated throughout the song. Choruses will generally have higher 'readability' because they are meant to be more memorable. If you don't pre-process your corpus by removing repeating paragraphs, then your comparisons to the brown corpus are not as valid, since brown doesn't use repetition.
