Sure.  I only asked for 16K to avoid pie-in-the-sky-ism and because it
seems to be plenty for a great game (like Solaris or BMX Airmaster) so
no one on this list is likely to really *need* more for a very long time
;)  So if Chris wants to build a 32K version and the cost is not
significantly higher, that's fine by me!  Dark Mage could use all the
space anyone cares to add, but as long as the game is only playable on
emulators I can't get motivated to extend it.  The text flicker is so
much more annoying on computer monitors than TV.
