I was asking about cartridges that specifically _didn't_ break the 32k barrier.
The CoCo 3 has a 32k ROM mode and a bunch of games used it. It wasn't
until they needed more that the banking method became necessary.
But back to my original question. One answer is Arkanoid. It is a 32k
cart that uses the mode in question.
