self improvement - Is there a device still being sold that requires ...

Sometimes, to train themselves, athletes will work in higher altitude places to workout. This is because there is less air, meaning working out is much more difficult. Once athletes have gotten used to exercising in these conditions, they find doing physical work in normal altitude places much easier.

I want to do this same thing, except with software development, and more specifically, game development. I want to find some system with a low amount of RAM (in the kilobytes), low CPU clock speed, and few registers. I figure learning to program games on this kind of system would be very useful in teaching me to write efficient code. Also, it would be very fun :)

The systems that I have thought about programming are the old Nintendo ones; GBA, NES, SNES. But I have learned the hard way that obtaining these, then obtaining the flash cards for them are very difficult, and on the border of being illegal.

So, my question is is there a crummy device that will teach me to write efficient code that is still out there and being sold? I would like it to be a physical device, looking at my programs run on physical machines would be a lot more satisfying then watching it on an emulator, and also, emulators can be buggy.
