Interestingly, there is a real world equivalent to the TIS architecture: the GA144[1] has lots of memory-constrained Forth cores with software defined I/O between them.

- qwertyuiop924 10y agoSimilar architectures could exist, but the exact one the TIS used? Not in a million years, unless somebody was explictly doing it to recreate the game IRL.
- db48x 10y agoOk, sure. It's only similar to architectures which have existed. I doubt there have been any serious ones which limited you to a dozen instructions at a time :) There's nothing in the TIS-100 architecture that is unique or unheard of, just things that are left out of it.
