The atari will execute anything contained within $1000 and $1FFF. There is
no limit for the size of a game, as long as you can provide a way to map the
proper data into this 4K segment.

You can find a detailed description of the different bankswitching methods,
made by Kevin Horton, on the web. The file is called sizes.txt, I didn´t
attached it because it´s kinda big...
