Olimex just released a 1 euro game ‘computer’ based around a tiny RISC-V microcontroller. It drives a monochrome VGA display by bit-banging a couple of GPIO lines in software. Obviously the use of a microcontroller is cheating a little, but likely makes the system cheaper than anything which could be built with discrete logic or FPGA.
