For games like Solitaire I just need card images. The Lynx will use 16 
colors. A port to a 2 color system would need much less space and 
perhaps use dithering. In any case this graphics conversion could be 
done at compile time. And the target should be optimized for size. 52 
cards at 16 colors eat more than the maximum available RAM.
