Category:Fantasy consoles

Fantasy consoles are best described as like an emulator, but for a console that does not exist. Fantasy consoles allow for the experience of creating and playing retro games while, for the most part, avoiding the hassle that comes with setting up to develop for a retro console. Fantasy consoles also allow for the specifications of their fictional hardware to be freely chosen by their developer. An example of a popular fantasy console is the originator of the term, PICO-8.
