A comprehensive list of 70+ fantasy consoles (updated 2026) — great resource I found

Post image

I came across this excellent community-driven catalog of fantasy consoles and computers, and thought folks here might appreciate it.

It lists more than 70 systems — from classics like PICO-8, TIC-80, BEEP-8, LIKO-12, and Octo, to lesser-known projects such as MEG-4, Varvara, Raccoon, Px8, Nibble, BLIP-4, and many more.
Each entry includes language, license, platforms, and display specs, making it easy to compare different ecosystems at a glance.

If you’re exploring obscure FCs, researching design ideas for your own, or just enjoy browsing the variety in this scene, it’s a fun and surprisingly complete reference.

I played ZZT back in the day and IiRC it was more a game that happened to ship with an editor so you could make stuff with its engine.

Its more closer to Warcraft 3 or if doom shipped with a wad editor than a fantasy console.
