Probably the sound effects could be done without using any extra RAM by 
just adding sound into the routines that handle the game logic.  I added 
sound effects to Marble Craze this way. And you've already got status 
variables and at least one delay counter, so you can just use those 
existing status/counter variables to time and modulate your sound effects.
