assemble to disk... i used to do that a lot back in the days with demo parts 
that wont fit in memory.

also dont forget that especially in a game, most of the memory isnt filled 
with code, but with data - which you just link to the code after assembling.

and on top of that - crossassemblers were not uncommon back in the days 
either. commodore themselves used them, and a lot of software houses did 
aswell. (mostly hosted on apple2 or similar)
