A '''fantasy console''' is a console that has no physical implementation; it only exists as a virtual machine. Like programming languages, fantasy hardware is sometimes built for entertainment purposes. The idea has recently gained popularity as the retrocomputing movement has gained steam with the resurgence of 80s nostalgia.

==CHIP-8==
+
For the list below, '''Memory Mapped''' means that the console ''does'' attempt to map objects to a memory system. This may include memory banks, video RAM, and other memory-based affordances. If the system is not memory mapped, then the physical layout of memory is not a consideration for that console.

'''CHIP-8''' is an interpreted programming language developed by Joseph Weisbecker. It was first described in the December 1978 issue of Byte Magazine as a "hexidecimal interpreted bytecode" that was more compact and memory-efficient than BASIC interpreters of the time. The CHIP-8 bytecode runs in a virtual machine with a display resolution of 64x32 and 1 bit of color (on or off).
 
  
−
One of the first computers in add support for CHIP-8 as the COSMAC VIP, sold by RCA in the late 70s. This computer had a processor also made by RCA with a speed of about 1.77 MHz and 2 kB of RAM. The operating system contained a CHIP-8 interpreter that allowed the system to run games using the CHIP-8 language.
+
To be considered for inclusion into this list, the fantasy console ''must'' have some sample demos, even if a full game is not available.
  
−
The TELMAC also had a second version of CHIP-8 called CHIP-82 that used a 64x64 resolution. Given its limited market, most CHIP-8 programs use only the standard resolution of 64x32.

===SUPER-CHIP (SCHIP)===
+
|-
−
In the early 1990s, technology had advanced to the point where the HP48 calculator was capable of executing interpreted scripts. Because of the HP48's native LCD resolution, the SUPER-CHIP standard emerged with a 128x64 pixel resolution and some new instructions to ease programming.

The language of PICO-8 is Lua. The PICO-8 software itself comes with a sprite and map editor, code editor, and the ability to build "cartridges" for distribution. Cartridge code is encoded into a PNG file in the last 3 bytes of every pixel. The Lexaloffle website runs cartridges in the browser when distributed via their forum.

The main goal of '''PixelVision 8''' seems similar to PICO-8, to encourage development of games with platform limitations. PixelVision allows customizable parameters when creating a new game, such as CPU speed, palette, sprite limitations, sound channels, and other system features. Scripting for all virtual machines is done in Lua.

A fantasy console is a console that has no physical implementation; it only exists as a virtual machine. Like programming languages, fantasy hardware is sometimes built for entertainment purposes. The idea has recently gained popularity as the retrocomputing movement has gained steam with the resurgence of 80s nostalgia.

For the list below, Memory Mapped means that the console does attempt to map objects to a memory system. This may include memory banks, video RAM, and other memory-based affordances. If the system is not memory mapped, then the physical layout of memory is not a consideration for that console.

To be considered for inclusion into this list, the fantasy console must have some sample demos, even if a full game is not available.
