ftr and for people who are into ol' good monospaced bitmap fonts like me, there's a github repo which contains bitmapped fonts from disused operating systems and graphical user interfaces. And you can preview them here.

Picotron Is a Fantasy Workstation
There are plenty of alternatives you could find on [1] in the context of fantasy console, almost all of them, oss or proprietary, active or dormant. And honestly many of them were inspired by PICO-8.

Video games that help you learn programming/networking/databases?
Also look into fantasy game consoles. They are emulators of fake game consoles that you make your own games for using built in tools and they use a variety of languages. They're usually free and/or open source, too. There's a master list here but to save you a click, the most popular/favorite ones are:

does anyone know a game engine the emulates the power and limitations of the snes?
I know that there are a bunch of "fantasy consoles" that provide constrained programming environments more or less similar to developing on older consoles. Pico-8 and TIC-80 are two well-known ones. Quadplay looks interesting to me, probably a bit more powerful than the SNES, but in the ballpark, in terms of resolution and color capabilities.

Hey, y10 high school student doing GCSEs for Computer science (and some other unrelated GCSEs), I’m thinking of maybe starting to code a small indie game, nothing big at all, when should I start coding a small game and what ‘equipment’ do I need?
If you're interested in small games, Google "fantasy console" and look through this list. A fantasy console is a collection of programming and art tools that limit and simplify the development process. They're often inspired by early home computer systems (70s-90s) that had great hobby programming scenes. Some are free (as in freedom or at least free beer) some are paid, none should be expensive.
