That and/or Civilization would be very cool to have on the calc, but it
would NOT be easy to program.  Would 16x16 in grayscale be alright for a
game like that?  8x8 would seem to be too small for sprites to be clear, yet
16x16 would make you scroll a lot to see the map.  12x12 sprites might work,
too.  Any ideas?
