Huh, that's not even an entire side of a 1541 disc.
But I also just bought it and the game itself lives in a .crt file that OSX says is 1,034,272 bytes, and rounds to 1 megabyte. So I think you may be wrong in saying it is one megabit.
(Doing the math, it is about 5.9 1541 discs worth of data, possibly a bit more if you consider theoretical directory tracks and/or custom recording formats that sacrifice some data density for blazing speed. Not that there appear to be any plans for a floppy version.)
