  Oh, I forgot that WASM-4 is a thing. It indeed makes a good comparison: - MicroW8 was originally conceived from the size-coding community (I think it was mainly inspired from TIC-80), and partly because of that its compressed cart is much smaller than WASM-4 carts and can be shared with just a single URL. The built-in assembly language (CurlyWas) also certainly helps. - MicroW8 has a relatively rich support for palettes and fonts. That might be a matter of taste though (some want a very constrained environment, others want a slightly more powerful but still retro-looking environment). - As a result WASM-4 doesn't have any sort of text handling while MicroW8 has one, arguably similar to PICO-8 as well due to its control characters. - MicroW8 doesn't yet have audio support, though it is in the high priority to my understanding.
