PICO-8 is a fantasy console powered by Lua. Games are distributed as cartridges which double as PNG images.
Simple, fast-paced games with colorful graphics and catchy audio, that require few or no explanations, can be played in short bursts, and usually require a lot of skill. Similar in style and spirit with the arcade game cabinets of the 80s and 90s.
