Notable Fantasy Computers

Chip-8

Fantasy consoles have their roots in CHIP-8 in the 1970s. Similar environments designed specifically for interactive fiction would be seen with SCUMM and other software layers.

PICO-8

Pico-8 became perhaps the best known fantasy console in the 2010s. PICO-8 is noted for the forethought given to system limitations as a way of inspiring developmental creativity.[1][2] The system notably has it's own "cartridge" format, which are actually images containing the game code through stenography.[3]

Among the most notable games for the PICO-8 is the original version of the award winning 2D platformer Celeste, which was developed by Maddy Thorson and Noel Berry for a game jam.[4][5] This was followed by Celeste 2 for the PICO-8 on January 26th, 2021.[4][5]

LIKO-12

By September 18th, 2016 version 1.0.0 of the open source LIKO-12 was released.[6]
