#FantasyConsole

Those who played -- which one(s)? -- and those who dev'd: care to share the link?:)

For those who aren't familiar: These are like emulators for hardware that never existed. It's a constrained environment for creating games, and these limitations are supposed to spark creativity (and they do). Many also just like them for the retro aesthetic of the limited colors and sound chips.
