Some jams allow any engine. The ones that require actual ROMs are much less popular.

You'd be disappointed about many retro game jam rules...
At least the Game Boy is very predictable: the biggest limitation is the screen and buttons so if it's graphics based on 8x8 tiles plus reasonably sized sprites, or fullscreen pics at low frame rate, it can most likely do it.
However, the SNES could do wild stuff (some graphics modes feature high color depth or double resolution) but anything more complex than All Stars required quite a bit of trickery. Yes, 512px horizontally, 480i, 3D perspective of a plane, color math etc. have been achieved but each takes a significant portion of the resources so it's very hard to pin down the limitations of what would be possible at once. Not to mention enhancement chips...
Wow, an actual ROM and not someone just dialing down the resolution and color depth in an engine that would have no chance of running on 8-bit HW!

There is just one jack'o'lantern left (it's probably a more practical shape) so yes, people seem to buy them at different rates.
In a hospital I've been to, there is a skeleton poster by the MRI machine manufacturer (I think Siemens) smugly subtitled "without imaging techniques we wouldn't know". Apparently, it's not just internet randos who forget. Too bad I can't find it online.
The street corner is certainly a place.
Was für ein schönes Film!
Look up kaomoji
I yeet my food so high it stays in the air/orbit just long enough before I plan to eat it. Sometimes, it hits wild geese on the way up and they get cooked during reentry.
I don't blame you, very few people know this and it's not intuitive. With plastic items, everyone learns early that they don't take heat well. Arguably, it's not much of a problem anymore since every metal container and silverware is stainless steel and basically only aluminum foil remains. At least now you know why coins make that smell in a sweaty hand.
