Surprisingly playable!

It is amazing how low in the pixel count one can go and still have a satisfying retro gaming experience.

This proves you don´t need much to video game on the go.

Kit is excellently packed and the final product once assembled is tiny and great looking in it´s own way.

The possibility of making your own games is icing on top, the included games work very well with the available controls.

Assembly takes about an hour in experienced hands, but beginners would not find this to big too much of a challenge provided they have patience and follow the online instructions.

Lovely kit with loads of character!

Excellent little kit

I just finished putting this kit together, and it was a cinch! Took maybe two hours in total, but I'm not the fastest solderer in the world!

Only minor complaint I have is that some of the components in the kit differed in appearance to the ones illustrated in the wiki on Github.

It was fun to assemble, and I'm looking forward to digging into the coding side of it. I've needed an excuse to code for Arduino, and now I have a little console to program for I think I'm much more likely to write something :)

Well worth the asking price - buy one now!

Great Kit

I bought one of these for my son who is 9 years old. He constructed it himself and got it working and has enjoyed playing with it. Its a really novel kit for learning with. The space invaders game is surprisingly playable and the "Simon Says" memory game is a lot of fun too. The kit is well organised and nicely packaged. Thumbs up form me.

Very nice little kit!

I absolutely love everything about this kit. The only exception would be the rather small pads (resistors, caps and display) that make it a bit tricky to solder.

Other than that: Love it! Review Image

Awesome Little Handheld!

This kit is great! Jason is very helpful with any questions or concerns you may have and the games are addicting and great fun to play. The code and design of this product is top-notch and it's worth every penny! A great buy!

Well thought out, well executed, and lots of fun

This kit shines in pretty much every way imaginable; it's well designed, a lot of fun to build, and fun to play with.
