This Card-Sized Device Lets You Play 8-Bit Games on the Go

Arduboy is a portable card-sized system that is reminiscent of yesteryear’s Game Boy devices, and similarly, the device allows you to play classic games. Featuring a brilliant OLED display, six soft-touch tactile buttons, and a two-channel speaker, the Arduboy can be brought anywhere for fun anytime, powered by its 8+ hour rechargeable battery and 5mm thickness. Merging the retro with modern innovation, Arduboy is also an open platform for people to share and create games, and is completed with the Arduboy Arcade, which includes completely free games built on the Arduino software. Serving as a fun alternative to modern mobile gaming, the blast to the past also provides an excellent opportunity to aspiring programmers to design their own games. Check out its Kickstarter page here, and pledge $39 USD for an early bird Arduboy, which will begin shipping this October.
