I just created this test harness for the #apple2gs
github.com/hasseily/apple2gs…
It is AI-first in that the output is made to be parsed and used by AIs. You take a screenshot of real hardware that is a dense test result.
Had a lot of fun building STARFALL, a simple retro shmup. Originally for the Apple //e with #appletini card, it can be played on the web and mobile

I've always wanted a Vectrex. With the new board we made (appletini.org) and the alternative firmware called "multitini" I can finally have one, along with a C64 and Gameboy Color.
Young people don't understand the levels of abstractions that exist in modern computers, and how slow everything becomes. Here is a thread of the boot speed of a 1983 Apple //e coupled with an Appletini ONE card which makes it run at 33MHz... a turtle by today's standards
For anyone with an Apple //e: appletini.org
Coming in September.
ONE physical card with:
33MHz TransWarp, 8MB RAMWorks, beam accurate HDMI, Smartport, DiskII with WOZ, Phasor, Z80, mousecard, Uthernet II, SuperSprite
Copy protected (WOZ) of our boxed Ultima V from '89 running on a physical //e accelerated via Appletini ONE.
The DiskII FPGA code runs at the speed of the processor (33MHz) and I have forced the virtual Transwarp to disregard U5's use of $C074 that tries to slow it down to 1MHz.

I completely agree. The platform should make it easy to filter and choose what you want, and only "curate" against malware and spam.
This is a genuine missstep. It is not the job of the platform to critique the quality of the game; it is their job, however, to ensure we don't buy malware, that the products are safe.
It is the job of reviewers to curate a game's quality, not the job of the storefront, as what may be "Junk" to one person is a "Gem" to another. By denying indies an oppurtunity to fail, it also equally denies them a chance to succeed.
That is the STRENGTH of Steam, not a weakness.
