The most amazing program under 1mb I ever encountered was World
Construction Set. At a time when the expensive GIS software used to make
our daily bread came on 20 to 30 floppy disks (~1995), depending on
extensions, it showed up in a measly cardboard envelope, and blew my socks
off. It could render a 3D perspective view of rocks, trees, clouds,
distance haze and more from real-world spatial data while said expensive
GIS software could only draw wire frames.
