Yes. I was thinking about that after my comment. All the folks doing machine learning optimizations, weird stuff with AVX2, etc. are the same folks who would have been stuffing chess in 4K of ROM and 128 bytes of RAM.
In 1985, me and another boy from school wrote a whole reliable network transport and stuffed it into unused memory on a Research Machines 480Z. We had 128 bytes for the receive buffer so in order to do anything we'd literally ship a packet across the network containing machine code and the stub code would CALL the receive buffer to perform tasks. Executable packets!
