I would be more interested to see how modern techniques could improve the then-state of the art.
A lot of the modern stack is layers of abstraction, which probably wouldn't be appropriate for such limited machines, but maybe superoptimizers and so on, and just more modern algorithms, etc, could help show what's really possible on these old machines. Sort of retro demoscene, but for useful apps.
