You know, Baldur’s Gate 1 was on 5 CD-ROM, 6 with the extension.
Of course it was mostly because it was a mess of mostly uncompressed graphics and audio, but still.
If I remember correctly the backgrounds were just fully drawn as huge bitmaps. Several of them for each area too, because they used separate bitmaps to represent collisions too.
