WASM Fantasy Console?

Source: https://wasm4.org/

We are avowed fans of Pico-8 and TIC-80, probably the most widely known fantasy consoles.

But where there is a good idea, there are implementations. And Bruno Garcia had the more or less brilliant idea to build a fantasy console based on the WASM VM.

And that's pretty damn close, because WASM is fast, the VM is available for a whole lot of CPU architectures, and there is a bunch of languages for which WASM is available as a compiler target.

Sounds exciting? Then check out WASM4. So far there are only a few games and a number of demos available, but with a little bit of luck this will change quite soon.
