To put things in perspective, this is a system with a 4MHz CPU and 8K of RAM, and has roughly the same compute power as an Arduino. Good example of how you don't need multi-GHz processors and tons of memory to do something interesting and entertaining.

2) It's a port to a platform that is a little bit more arcane.
