48k games can be used in 16K?I suppose not but: the games for the 48k can be also used in 48k? Thanks

One of the best 16K games was Cavern Fighter, a brillliant scramble clone. It's listed as 48K, but it's 1m 10s loading time is a big enough clue that this game is in fact 16K.
As for that list, I'd go for Deathchase. -
