the fonts size used now for example

Thunderchild

a books worth or more just condider a carachter per btye to give an idea a 1 MB program will be 1 million caracters so start typing and see how many go on one page

Space

No, a 1MB program isnt made with 1 million caracters of code.

For code, programmers usually count in lines, not in pages,
but if there is approximately 50 lines per page, you will end up with something like 1000 pages of code or more for a game.
Depending on the technology used, there can be an additionnal 2000 pages or more for the reusable modules that are not specific to the game ( for example, the physics engine, the 3D engine, etc )
