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 table 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.<!-- BOTINSERT -->To be considered for inclusion into this list, the fantasy console ''must'' have some sample demos, even if a full game is not available. == List of Fantasy Consoles ==
