For the time period, perhaps not so big.  It's basically a 6800 with 
embedded peripherals (timer, UART, etc.)  Not much different from 
today's low-end uC (PIC, 8051, AVR, etc.)  I suspect that a fair 
number of those pins are NC in this application.

If you want big, consider the same uC in its DIP incarnation--a 64 
pin (0.050 spacing) DIP.  I've got one somewhere.
