OpenTTD - Pi4 - Dedicated Server Setup and Performance
Can the might Pi handle an Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe dedicated server? Yes. Easily. Even a Pi 2 should be able to handle it. Give it a go.

i didn't think it was my kind of game, but it grows on you. Probably a good idea to read up on the game first if you've never played before. I've grown quite attached to it after a couple of hours making this video. CPU usage was minimal with 5 AI players and RAM barely rose by 20MB after over an hour of playing.
Thanks to Yougotnomilk for pointing out why you should take time to make the description match the video!
