→PICO-8: wikify
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.

'''PICO-8''' is a proprietary virtual console developed by Lexaloffle Games. It comes packaged free with the purchase of '''Voxatron''', a fantasy voxel console, or available for purchase as a standalone program. The software also comes preinstalled on the [[PocketCHIP ]] hardware.
The console is notable for its severe restrictions, limiting the programmer to a fixed palette of 16 colors, 32k of memory (Lua tokens), and rudimentary sound.
