    First time I heard anyone say "Floatplane" in the wild. That's crazy!

    Honestly dwarf fortress would be awesome on these calcs but fairly certain it would bring the little cpu in these to their knees screaming in agony

      I guess it would not be possible. Df is closed source, and needs like a full gig of ram to run properly... something like nethack might work?
