I second that,

In 1989+ we had 7270 "smart" terminals connected to IBM360-line mainframes,
(in our University)
those "smart" terminal were having 64K of RAM and were allowing FORTH there, 
and this combination was efficient enough to have plenty of ASCII-based games,
and for us to having programmer's fun.

This is why I also thought about FORTH,
But - still - LISP have similar background of history, so if there is no task of having entire COMMON LISP standard there - then just reasonable subset is really possible.
My intuition says to me that FORTH is easier to strip down.
However - ECL has closer connection to C, which will make your life easier.
