    To anyone liking these kind of fantasy consoles I always recommend TIC-80 as it is a open source alternative. Feature full. And overall more powerful.

      TIC is fun too. I like both. And they both work on the miyoo mini plus as a handheld.

      It’s a fantasy console, a console that has its specifications to achieve the old-style programs on it but isn’t limited to run on certain hardware.

        Also, games for it are written in a high level language (Lua) which makes it significantly easier to get into than actual old hardware.

              I have too many hobbies as it is, I can’t afford to add another one, time or money wise. 😅

            For $12–14, to test something I’m probably not interested in sinking time into, I think I have to pass. Thank you for the suggestion though!

                I know. I’ve spent about $200 on sex toys for me and my wife during the last couple weeks. I’m willing to pay a lot for things that I know I’ll like and I care about experiencing. 😅 But this? I don’t care enough. But I’m happy it exists for you guys’ sake! ❤️

                Still though, $15 here and $15 there and everywhere… Shit adds up if you want to experience the entire world. I’m not made of money, even though I make a good living.

    I recently discovered what this is on my handheld and there are come really fun games. I’ve been playing Celeste Classic today and another that was an Outrun-esque that I forget the name of.
