33k sounds like a lot. I should think a game like this today would be more like 3k, or maybe 10k at most + engine code + content.

Nowadays you see, it's wasteful to write an engine from scratch for a game like this. It was needed then, but it's a solved problem now. If you wrote 33k for a commander keen clone I'd wonder what you were doing.
