I just burned a new CD32 game today.
Not written with particularly efficient code.
But its entertaining and it did not appear too hard to create.
But then, my idea of tough used to be trying to get an 8 bit system with 64k or less of memory and video that was often little more than a dumb frame buffer to do something useful.

The flip side of that being the far more complex task of attempting a project on a PPC based system.
Learning MUI, tiny GL, C, Python.
Seriously Andre, I'd find 6809 or 68000 machine code simpler to work with.
