I know this is an old issue, but having looked at a few of these games, they do tend to take up most of the attiny85 resources. So it's unlikely that many of them would fit on an 8k chip with a bootloader, which takes up about 25% of the flash. At least some of the Digispark pros use a 16k chip, so it's possible that could work with some porting effort.
