Wasn't the full Daggerfall install was actually closer to 400MB. I remember I bought a second HDD just to house Daggerfall since not loading anything from CD made it crash less.
Edit: Just forgot to mention that I love how detailed this list is and you are basically describing my late 90s PC, except it was Turbo Pascal and slightly older versions of Worms and RTS games.
I suspect there's a ripped version of Daggerfall that removes some or all of the FMV and that would give a significant reduction of space (much like AoE2 at only 170mb). The GOG installer comes at 176mb, so I've probably alloted too little space for it either way. Good thing there's enough wiggle room in further reducing the size of either Worms or Doom mods
Also, the fun thing about going with FreePascal is that I could, in theory, make new GBA games to run on the emulator!
That's interesting about using FreePascal for that, I didn't know there was any toolchain to compile to that SoC. I actually wrote a small set of libraries that ran on top of an existing, but very bare) SDK back in the day for writing GBA games in C. I forgot to grab it and rehost it when Google Code went away and it is now lost to time.
