Hi there! When you talk about the 'requirements' of the system, how deep does this go? Does it have to be small enough to fit on a game cartridge for that console? Does it have to use as little ram as needed to run on that console?  Or is it more of a visual restriction?

Rules say: "Your game must (loosely) follow the restrictions of the platform you’ve chosen."

So my reading if that is that the limitation decision is up to you. I suspect visual restriction will be the most common. RAM restrictions would be hard to implement on most modern systems.

I read as feel of the console

for example Gameboy:

• Resolution of 160*144 (upscaled to not be a postage stamp on modern screens)
• 8 buttons (4 directions, A, B, start, select)
• 2 bit colour
