Several emulation programs do actually have a terminal renderer. Impossible to tell what's going on unless you're intimately familiar with the game, but it's neat to see.

It uses DRM/KMS to enable OpenGL (and probably Vulkan too) on the console without needing a display server like Xorg or Wayland. Or if that's too blasphemous for you, there is a libcaca driver.
