         | This project uses just enough SRAM and external components and
         | a just enough powerful FPGA to be a retro-styled video game
         | console. I wanted to learn how to use FGPAs and continue to
         | learn how video game consoles worked while building something
         | unique.

         | So in a way, in terms of the technology, they're similar,
         | except of course a Mister is something a lot more useful, I
         | would say, as it simulates "real devices" and has a huge game
         | library and this is just an educational project.
