Adventureland-2600

Adventureland 2600 is a port of Scott Adam's Adventureland to the Atari 2600

Project mention: Nanofont3x4: Smallest readable 3x4 font with lowercase | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-17

Interesting. With a bit of work, this would have genuine use for something like a text display on an Atari2600, where the dimensions are significantly limited.
I've used glyphs as small as 4x5 but I've struggled to come up with anything smaller for most characters.
Here's an example of a full text adventure for the 2600 if anyone's interested https://github.com/JetSetIlly/Adventureland-2600
Better or worse with an even smaller font? I'm not sure.
