As I mentioned, Sid's Civ fit in 320x200 at 4bpp colour.

The Mac version of Sid's Civ ran in black & white on a Mac SE, with a
512x384 screen. I can't say how well it would work at 320x200, probably
not so well. But even the 16 greys supported by the palm might not be too
bad.

It won't be particularly beautiful, as Sid's Civ was not, but it could
certainly work.
