I'm absolutely blown away by some of the games they managed to make in under 13kb. This video "How we fit an NES game into 40 Kilobytes" is an interesting illustration of just how small these games are.

And MicroMages (2019, featured in the video) was an excellent short game for the NES with tight controls. I bought a MicroMages cartridge in the IndieGogo campaign, gave it to a friend of mine who had an NES, and we had a blast playing the 2player mode. (also available as a standalone and emulated cartridge.)
