@ -6,23 +6,28 @@ The motivation behind creating fantasy consoles is normally twofold: firstly the
Fantasy consoles usually include some kind of simple [IDE](ide.md); a typical mainstream fantasy console both runs and is programmed in a [web browser](browser.md) so as to be accessible to normies. They also use some kind of easy scripting language for game programming, e.g. [Lua](lua.md). Even though the games are simple, the code of such a mainstream console is normally [bloat](bloat.md), i.e. we are talking about **[pseudominimalism](pseudominimalism.md)**. Nevertheless some consoles, such as [SAF](saf.md), are truly [suckless](suckless.md), free and highly portable (it's not a coincidence that SAF is an official [LRS](lrs.md) project).
Some fantasy consoles may blend with [open consoles](open_console.md), e.g. by starting as a virtual console that's later implemented in real hardware.
## Notable Fantasy Consoles

Apart from these there are many more (MicroW8, PX8, WASM-4, ZZT, ...), you can find lists such as https://paladin-t.github.io/fantasy/index. There even exists a [Brainfuck](brainfuck.md) fantasy console, called BrainFuckConsole74.
