Technically you could have over 27k of variables... you can make the whole
program an array of random numbers, and these numbers which are located
within your program are essentially variables (although they seemingly have
no value without a label)

ie.   .db 0,2,5,5,4,6,6,4  ; could go on forever
you could also use the textmem, textshadow, cmdshadow also giving you even
more memory than your free ram.

perhaps this large assortment of variables is for a map, or an array for a
deck of cards (like i used in blackjack)

these types of arrays are easy to track, since they are usually
loaded/retrieved simulataneously using ldir
