Half the fun is making a limited platform do stuff. I enjoy working around limitations such as speed, memory, graphical capability. I don't expect much from the machine, and have been around long enough to know a few tricks. I'm really only interested in 2D retro style games, such as I used to program in the early 1980s. I expect the prime will be capable enough for my needs.
