Yeah. I don't mind 8x8 sprites and tiles and the 32 color limitation (16x2vbanks), but I do wish the display was a little larger.

It has a decent mixer if you understand sound, and limitation can be good for design. I'm a big fan of what Williams Electronics created with Defender and Robotron. And I've been working on an atari / WE like game where the maps are auto-generated, levels are auto-generated and theoretically infinite, the map is infinite scroll x and y, enemies are moved and recycled based on camera position to give the illusion of endless play, etc. I put a few other throw backs in there too. I got busy after the new year, and have to put it down for about a month before I finish it up.

The interesting thing about tic80 though is it's pix function, where you can pull and draw specific pixels on the display, and it's poke function for altering memory, including colors on the palette.

Again, I think the limitations force creative solutions.
