Pandemic opened up a world of retro gaming to me too. I’ve discovered so many great games that I never had a chance to play when I was a kid / teenager. And my current skillz in Atari 2600 SeaQuest really make my childhood scores look like child’s game! I would also agree about what you say about SNES/Genesis. Raster based games and gameplay really seemed to peak in those years. RetroPie/RetroArch shaders like ScaleFx or Xbrz by the way work miracles on some of these 16bit console titles to make them look slightly more modern (pc / gpu required, I don’t think pi has enough muscle yet).

I was learning Godot game engine the other day - It would be pretty awesome to be able to use something like that to output a SNES/Genesis game. Or old skool demo without having to learn snes etc. assembly :D
