Sometimes I think about this Atari 7800 homebrew. The most impressive game on the console, nothing else comes close. Imagine if this had come out during the actual era!

I do always love when 7800 devs recognize that actually it is designed to take a variety of sound chips and not just a POKEY and run with it

It's a very modular system design, as I recall. Need more RAM? Add it to the cart. Need a better sound chip? Add it to the cart. I don't know if the same thing can be done with the 5200, but it seems like that could open the door to all the recent XL/XE homebrews, like Street Fighter II.
