    I have the same opinion about MS-DOS. If you need more controls than A B Start Select then DOS gives you a full keyboard and mouse support, plus reasonably useful resolution like 640x480.

    You can emulate DOS on any computer platform, including the web so people can use software in-browser with no effort. There are even DOS emulations on 100MHz+ microcontrollers like ESP32.

    There are pre-made DOS cross-compilers for C so you don’t need to learn assembly like you might with NES: https://github.com/andrewwutw/build-djgpp
