8kb table for logs would consider 16% of 64kb that you have for engine, game, intro and end sequence.

there were 3 custom chips (ANTIC, GTIA and POKEY) 1 semi-custom (SALLY was a VERY MINOR modification of 6502) and 1 common industry chip (PIA). I would not say exactlly "lot of" ;-)

I can assure you that no BCD routines (nor Woz's nor Atari's) were hurt during production of this game. They are really slow. You need to use all kind of tricks and cheats when creating 3d game on 8bit machine and all needed calculations are precalculated in lookup tables.

In my experience, this approach works extremely well—I would not have been able to accomplish this much on my own. However, there is an important caveat: you must understand what you are doing. AI systems sometimes propose solutions that do not work, and in some cases they can be genuinely dangerous to your data integrity or your privacy.
AI is therefore a powerful accelerator, not a replacement for expertise. You still need to critically evaluate its suggestions and veto roughly 10% of them.
