That's enough bandwidth to play Trade Wars and SRE so it's good enough for me.

Why no Legend of the Red Dragon? :(

Waiting on a "vibe coded" but modern LORD or TW2002...
Could make the games a lot more dynamic with the use of LLMs and maybe get people interested in writing scripts for text games again.

What about LORD?
Tangent: SRE was very color-heavy and that led to some long ANSI sequences. From the recently decompiled source [1] you can see that I tried to pick shorter ANSI sequences when I could. In particular, going from color 0x0* to 0x1* we could save 1 byte, and going back to the default white on black we could save between 1 and 4 bytes. But if you're bandwidth limited there's also an option to turn off color entirely.
