I am not sure, but I think that the Gameboy cartridges are 4 mb. The
gameboy has a smaller screen that the 86, though. But the Gameboy runs
faster and only uses one plane to do grayscale. Thanks to Dux for the info
on the 1 plane for grayscale stuff =)

How about the Quest 3 RPG?? =)

maybe, but have external strings for data and maybe just a couple of bytes
of data for each monster. That is about 40 bytes per pokemon. That would
bring the data total to about 6000 bytes. That's not that much. Then a
library for all of the graphics would be about 11000 bytes because the
sprites would probably be about 16x16. The game would probably be about 9k
or 10k. Then a linking program so you can fight other people, about 1k (at
most). It might then be a little under 96k =) Plus you could use Bloat to
compress a bunch of the stuff =)
