Would be cool if there was a little description of what this is, please.

CaptainBasculin@lemmy.bascul.in on 14 Sep 17:38 next collapse

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.

victorz@lemmy.world on 14 Sep 19:27 next collapse

Sounds very niche.

chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world on 15 Sep 01:49 collapse

It’s actually really neat. You should check it out.

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!

Magnum@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 15 Sep 10:44 next collapse

How much are you willing to pay to test something and have an experience? $15 isn’t that much.

victorz@lemmy.world on 15 Sep 17:27 collapse

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.

Alright bro, no need to overshare

victorz@lemmy.world on 15 Sep 18:24 collapse

🤷‍♂️ It’s relevant. I made my point, bro.

You dont need to: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=11722

Just click the play button.

Cool, thanks! I didn’t make it past the first screen. 💀

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 had never heard of it either, but their website does a pretty good job of explaining it.

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.

daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 15 Sep 10:54 next collapse

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.

mesamunefire@piefed.social on 15 Sep 23:52 collapse

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

Totally forgot I made a turn-based rpg game based on battle royale using Pico 8 a while ago. Might have to dig that out
