I was surprised by MMS' comment too, but then I figured when he says "FLI", he means "(D)FLI picutre" (e.g. like what the converters produce). When coders talk about FLI, we mean just the effect, using 4 color maps instead of 1 in one character, for at least some lines.
One FLI picture would be one bitmap ($2000) plus four color and luminance maps ($800 each), so that's already all the memory we have ($4000). It would probably be possible to fit one full screen FLI picture into the memory, but only by using a lot of trickery, e.g. hiding the code in the bitmap, and using "fewer than maximum" colors in some areas.
