To me it seems that trend started somewhere along with Notch's dcpu16 and assorted virtual hardware from 0x10c.

Pico 8 and Voxatron (its predecessor/3d succesor) both predate the 0x10c experiment I believe.
Hmm, I can only trace PICO-8 as far back as late 2014, while 0x10c happened in 2012. However Lexaloffle likes to label it, Voxatron is hardly a fantasy console, it's a voxel game engine (with fantasy console features retrofitted in later on).
