FORTH is one of these languages (like Lisp) that goes to an extreme with minimalism

and has a base of users who swear by it. While I appreciate its interesting

aspects, I've never really fully understood its appeal. I've been having fun recently

making small games in PICO-8, and I thought an interesting way to understand FORTH better

would be to create a quick and dirty fantasy console based on it.
