I’m moving some comments to a new thread for posting links to interesting examples of games on fantasy consoles.

If you aren’t familiar with fantasy consoles, check out the [list of game engines](https://forum.codeselfstudy.com/t/list-of-game-engines-and-resources-wiki-page/2010), and see [this comparison](https://nerdyteachers.com/Explain/FantasyConsoles/).

TIC-80 and Pixel Vision 8 are free at the moment. PICO-8 is $15.

Here’s a game example on TIC-80:
