Here's a better idea. Cannibalize Asteroids carts like you did for
the Pac-Man and Combats. There must be other OC 8K games. If worse
comes to worse, we can buy those bulk cartridges from Oshea for 60c
each.
But that's in the future. Though 8K wouldn't be too hard to code for
if I ever did need that much space. The first bank would have all the
game calculation bits, the second bank would have all the screen drawing
bits.
