A developer has adapted an old text mode DOS game in 11 new platforms (including the master system). I have tried with emulicious, but it does not play well at all. It seems to run ok on the fusion. The developer has also created an interesting series of blog video of creating the game that it is worth checking.

Oh wow, thanks a lot for this. It´s a very rare find for sure!

Emulicious is the most precise SMS emulator available. If it doesn't run in Emulicious it's very likely it won't run on real hardware, which is a pity. I don't know what trickery Fusion uses that makes it more generous towards software that doesn't care about hardware restraints.

many emulators simply don't bother emulating the hardware restrictions - which makes coding them easier. After all, they're often used to play something that anyway works on hardware, they're not aimed to game development. Emulicious is at least one step forward. (two?)

Awesome! Interestingly, I stumbled onto this website www.chibiakumas.com/z80 awhile ago. It has a bunch of cool Z80 Programming Tutorials by "Keith S" and there even seems to be an accompanying YouTube channel https://bit.ly/2A779Ys
