It's been a while since I could look at this game, so I'm sorta taking the
above out of context. But when you're reading the graphics data, if you
could reverse the indexing direction depending on wether you're at the
top or the bottom, you'd only have to store 140 empty bytes instead of
280. That would make a total of 156 (I think) which fits in a single
page. So you only need one copy and would save tons of space.
