Why 4K, why not 2K? ;-)

There are still plenty of limitations, ROM space is only one part. And
the more ROM you use, the more limiting the RAM space gets.

And what about SuperCharger games? They have more RAM and ROM, but they
are still very challenging to program.

IMO, the kernel is the essential part of any 2600 game, and with more
ROM or RAM, it doesn't get easier done. Only more complex.

Have fun!
