What it is & what's included
A vertical retro handheld game console in ABS plastic — four of the five colourways are translucent, so the circuit board shows through. 3.5-inch IPS screen at 640 × 480, open-source Linux, twin 3D joysticks, a full D-pad, X/Y/A/B, SELECT and START, L1/L2 and R1/R2 on the back, a built-in speaker, a removable polymer lithium-ion battery, a USB-C charging port, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, an OTG port and two microSD card slots — one for the system, one for games.
In the box: the console, a USB-C cable and a spare rechargeable battery. Nothing else — headphones, a case and a printed manual are not included.
Size & feel
15 × 10 × 3 cm — about the size of a phone in a thick case, and 180 g, so it sits in one hand or a coat pocket.
The screen is 3.5 inches corner to corner, at 640 × 480.

★★★★★ “It came real fast and you can even plug your headphones up.” · Adam C.
The one you keep picking up
Every game you grew up on, in your pocket.
Twenty thousand of them. Already on the card.
A 3.5-inch IPS screen at 640 × 480, twin 3D joysticks, a real D-pad and proper L1/L2 and R1/R2 shoulder buttons, running open-source Linux. Dozens of mainstream emulators — NES, GB, GBA, SFC, MD, MAME, CPS, PS1, PSP, NDS and N64 — and no wifi needed to play any of them.
Bought one as a gift. Played it for an hour. Went back for a second one.

Why it gets used
Four reasons it’s the perfect gift. 🎄
The games you remember.
20,000 already on the card, from NES right through to N64.
Buttons, not glass.
Twin 3D joysticks, a full D-pad, and L1/L2 and R1/R2 on the back.
Ready before you wrap it.
The card comes loaded. No wifi, no account, nothing to download or set up.
Nothing else to buy.
Charges off any phone charger, plays through any headphones, and the battery swaps out.
Out of the box
Playing in three steps.
1Charge it.
USB-C, with the cable in the box. Any phone charger or power bank will do.
2Slide the switch.
The card it ships with is already loaded. Nothing to download, no wifi.
3Pick a system.
Scroll to the one you grew up on and press start. No PC, no account.
Where it ends up
On the sofa. On a flight. In a stocking.
180 g and 15 cm tall — it lives in a coat pocket, a carry-on, or the toe of a stocking. Five colours, so you can tell yours from theirs.
