Even things which required assets, like zones, were nowhere near so intricate as their modern equivalents. Modern games using high-detail graphics and assets hamstring themselves in the sense that any addition becomes a slow and expensive process. Cost control has been a big factor in the shift towards simple and cheap mobile games.
