It's a great and influential project none the less and costs as much as a cheap book ($14.99 IIRC). I'm all for homebrew dev on classic consoles (Mega Drive being my favourite also) yet these fantasy consoles are much easier to program for and usually have more meaningful constraints targeted towards finishing little projects while going solo. Check out this list of free pico-8 clones, some of which support programming in lisp like languages even: https://github.com/pico-8/awesome-PICO-8#clones
