Pico-8 Virtual Fantasy Console is an idealized constrained modern day game maker

this might be childish wishful thinking, but I'd love to make something like that but with a physical console also. Share the software created between the physical console and the fantasy console, maybe allow alternate software evolutions (imagine an internet that diverges with something other than html).

It's a fun little daydream at least

Pico-8 has the "cartverse," which allows you to link between carts in various ways. It's all centralized around the BBS right now, though.

There's lots of possibilities with Arduino or similar hooked up to small LCD displays. Unfortunately HDMI output makes a system no longer simple.
