You can now check out Pico 8, the most popular virtual or fantasy console, for free with the launch of Pico 8 Education Edition. This is the same as the full commercial version, just running in your browser. Pico8 is a "virtual computer" with stripped down specs (very stripped down), but shipping with a full suite of game development tools, a LUA SDK and a huge community to learn from.
